Does a German citizen need a visa if he/she wants to work for EY as part of an industrial placement beginning 2021?

Hi - thanks for your question. Unfortunately, no. We can’t secure Certificates of Sponsorship for internships and fixed-term placements.

That said, if you're already in full-time education in the UK on a Tier 4 (General) visa, you might be able to take up temporary work during your holidays or as part of your studies, under current regulations.

There are no special deadlines for applications for our summer internships, only the ones shown on the programmes pages. All you’ll need is the necessary right to work in the UK, by the time it starts.
