The Role at a Glance
On our Software Engineering Graduate Programme, you’ll help build and deliver smart tech solutions – from custom apps to full-scale platforms. You’ll get hands-on with the latest tools, help clients bring their ideas to life, and explore exciting new technologies. You’ll use your coding skills to design and develop applications and play a key role in spotting and fixing security risks to keep systems safe from cyber threats.
What You’ll Learn
* You will start your journey with some core training, teaching you all the core skills you’ll need to be a successful analyst at Accenture.
* You will undergo some programme specific training to prepare you for your first client role. This can include delivery lifecycle, specific technologies and platforms, core programming languages, and the essential developer toolkit.
* You will have the opportunity to gain industry recognised accreditations in areas such as Cloud and Technology Platform certifications.
What You’ll Get Access To
* Core Analyst Training: Our core learning programme designed to help new joiners build confidence and skills across areas from delivery best practice, how to work with clients, and programme specific skills.
* Project-based learning: Real challenges for real clients with support from experienced teams.
* Technology Exposure: Wide range of technologies and systems with training to understand and implement them.
* Certifications: Access to industry recognised certifications and externally provided training courses.
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 excellent coding skills.

If you’re curious, motivated, and eager to make an impact, this could be the perfect next step for you.
Accenture values collaboration. You will be required to be in your assigned office for a minimum of three days per week and may need to work at client sites across the UK. You must live within commuting distance to make this possible. This role does not meet the minimum salary threshold for visa sponsorship.
Your Development Path
After you complete your initial training, you will be available to start your first role. Roles may include:
* Application Developer

Throughout the programme you’ll be supported with training, coaching and guidance to help you progress in your career. In your first 12 months, you may work on various projects to explore the full breadth of what we do. You’ll then align to a specialised business area that reflects your ambitions and continue to build expertise and take on more responsibility.
Examples from recent graduates include roles in public health and data science, with opportunities to work across multiple projects and clients.
