Bradford College is proud to announce partnerships with two of the largest professional accounting and auditing service organisations in the world, KPMG and Ernst and Young. Through these partnerships we have established an internship program for our Degree Transfer students. All high achieving students studying the Degree Transfer program can be eligible for the following: • An internship with KPMG or a week of training at Ernst and Young gaining real business experience in a large corporate firm • Invitations to ‘power lunch’ sessions where students can network and learn from key staff from KPMG in their boardroom • Cash prizes towards business attire or textbooks. This internship program is an example of how Bradford College is not only dedicated to providing international students with a pathway into a top-ranked university but also bridges the gap for our students into a successful career. One of the 2010 inaugural internship recipients Diana Xiaoan Liu said of her experience: “I saw what happens in real life at Ernst & Young. It was very involved and intense and showed me how important teamwork, communication and leadership is. It really inspired me to pursue a career as an auditor. The experience was fantastic and I am very happy that Bradford College could provide me such a great opportunity”.
