Who this guide is for
This guide is for students in the United States considering an internship at Deloitte, one of the Big Four professional-services firms. It covers the internship categories Deloitte publicly describes, the recruiting process it publishes, and how to prepare an application. Every claim is linked to an official Deloitte source at the end; where Deloitte does not publish a detail, we say so instead of guessing.
Program overview

Deloitte splits student hiring into client services (working on engagements for Deloitte's clients) and internal services (supporting the firm itself). The table reflects program-level information from Deloitte's student careers pages; requirements that belong to one specific vacancy are listed only in that vacancy's posting.
Eligibility
Deloitte does not publish a single program-wide eligibility rule for degree requirements, graduation windows or accepted disciplines on its student careers pages — those requirements live in each individual posting. Read the qualifications section of the specific role before applying. Work authorization requirements: not specified on the program pages; check the individual posting.
Recruiting timeline
Deloitte does not publish a common application season or deadline for internships on its student careers pages. Openings are posted through its careers site, so treat each posting's stated dates as the authority. Historical postings are not a reliable guide to future dates.
Pay and work arrangement
Deloitte does not state program-wide internship compensation or a standard work arrangement (on-site, hybrid or remote) on its student careers pages. Where an individual posting discloses pay or location expectations, those apply to that vacancy only — not to every Deloitte program.
Application and preparation
Applications go through the official Deloitte careers site. Deloitte's published recruiting guidance describes the sequence as: apply to an online job posting, application and qualifications review, then selected candidates are contacted for an interview — usually scheduled within one to two weeks of contact. Whether internship roles include assessments is not specified on the cited pages.
Preparation is on you, and it is where most applicants fall short. Big Four interviews are heavily behavioral — expect "tell me about a time" questions and office-specific conversations. Before you apply, tailor your resume to the posting's exact keywords with the Resume Tailor, draft a role-specific letter with the Cover Letter Writer, and practice behavioral questions in Interview Prep. You can also find recruiters at Deloitte and request a warm introduction before your application lands.
