What you’ll need

To join our Software Engineering graduate programme, you’ll need to be a confident coder in at least one major programming language and excited about learning more.

You should have a degree in Computer Science, IT, or a tech‑related subject by the time you start.

We’ll also consider Maths, Science, or Engineering graduates – or those with a Master’s – if you can demonstrate strong coding skills.

Graduates who excel on our programme tend to have:

• Strong IT skills and experience designing or building applications – whether in your studies, personal projects or past work.
• A genuine passion for technology and a desire to keep learning and improving.
• Flexibility and resilience – you’ll thrive in a fast‑moving environment where change is constant.
• Great communication and teamwork skills, along with the confidence to present your ideas clearly.

If you’re curious, motivated, and eager to make an impact, this could be the perfect next step for you.

Accenture values collaboration, bringing people together at least three times a week at client sites or one of our UK offices. You will be required to be in your assigned office for a minimum of three days per week and must live within commuting distance to make this possible. Project work may also take you to client sites across the UK, sometimes more than three days a week, depending on business needs.

After you have completed your initial training, you will be available to start your first role.
