Does EY consider for people who are making a career change at age above 35 coming from a less developed country?

EY is highly admired for its inclusive culture. But nowhere I have found its policy for people who are making a career change at a much older age especially when they are new to UK? Such people have to start as a graduate at EY. Does EY consider that this person has worked in a different work environment for over a decade and although he might not be as good in communicating as the other candidates who are much younger and who have spent much more time in UK , he still brings a lot of diverse ideas and strong work values with him? Secondly from my research on EY, international students who have come to UK on a 1 year Masters program are at a disadvantage as they cannot apply for summer internships or any other shorter programs at EY. Such internships are great opportunities to polish them as per culture of EY and UK and hence they lose an opportunity to perform better for the EY application at the later stage? International students are at a disadvantage as they do not have much time to apply because their visa expires soon.

    You would need to have a bachelors degree in order to qualify for one of our grad positions -

    But my question is about my totally different background? I am in UK on a 1 year Masters program and see that 99 of candidates are fresh graduates an they are trained as per culture of UK. I am at an disadvantage as I did not have that much exposure to the UK work culture

    It wouldn't matter - as long as you have a degree then you are able to apply

    I wanted to have a experience of working at EY before I applied for the graduate application.
