How to get into consulting as a student
Management consulting is one of the most popular graduate destinations for UK students, and firms invest heavily in structured student pipelines. The typical route is: insight programme (first year) → summer internship (penultimate year) → graduate offer. Consulting firms span a wide range — from the MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) and Big Four (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) to specialist strategy boutiques, public sector consultancies, and technology consultancies. Most firms accept applications from any degree subject, placing emphasis on problem-solving, structured thinking, and communication skills. Case interview preparation is essential: firms use business case studies to assess analytical and communication ability. Practise cases well in advance of your application — many firms offer case preparation materials on their careers pages, and platforms like PrepLounge can help.
