For most of our programmes we don't require a specific degree subject to be studied to apply to our graduate programmes. We recruit based on strengths rather than on what you studied at university. My advice would be to make sure you talk about the strengths you feel you possess the most that could help with a role at EY - eg, communication, teamworking, resilience, etc.

I see... would it be better for me to take some online courses, e.g. python, in advance?

On the specific career pages for each of our sub service lines, it will specify if there is any knowledge in coding etc that it would be good for you to have an interest in. However this will vary on each graduate programme. Usually courses on coding like python etc would only be relevant if you were applying for a technical role.
