👀 What you’ll need: 

To be eligible for this programme, you’ll need to have obtained or be on track to achieve a bachelor’s degree (or higher) from an accredited university by your start date.  

We welcome degrees across a wide range of disciplines - not only STEM. Strong analytical thinking, experience working with data and AI, and problem-solving ability are what matter most. Examples include: 
  • Mathematics, Data Science, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and other scientific disciplines. 
  • Economics, Social Sciences, Business, Humanities, and other fields that have helped you develop analytical, quantitative, or AI skills.

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. 

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

Throughout your graduate programme and beyond, you’ll be supported with training, coaching and guidance to help you progress in your career. In your first 12 months, you’ll work on a variety of client projects in data, analytics or the AI space to explore the full breadth of what we do, helping you discover where your strengths and interests lie. 

After this, you’ll align to a specialised area within AI & Data that matches your skills and ambitions – whether it’s AI & Data strategy, insight & decision generation, advanced data science, or generative and agentic AI. From that point forward, you’ll deepen your expertise, take on more complex challenges, and grow into a trusted advisor, shaping a career path that’s uniquely your own. 

To bring this to life, here are some examples from recent AI & Data Graduates: 
  • Vaishnavi joined the programme in 2026 and is now building agentic AI systems and multi-agent workflows for a global pharmaceutical client, supporting oncology R&D sprint planning and developing guardrails to improve AI output quality and reliability.
