How can I best prepare for EY’s Actuarial Graduate Scheme if I did not study for any professional papers?

    Hi there, thanks for your question. We have lots of helpful resources to help set you up for success as part of the application process. This includes our EY Student Assessment Practice Hub which is a free to use online platform to help you practice mock assessments. You can also sign up to our weekly application bootcamp webinars on Our events  page. These take place each Wednesday at 4.30pm. The team will go through the application process in detail and let you know what to expect and how to be successful.

    I would also recommend, outside of practicing for the assessment, that you also brush up on your motivations to apply as well. Our recruitment process is based around strengths which you can find out more about on our website: Strengths | EY - UK


    So think about why you want to work at EY, what made you want to apply, why do you want to work in your chosen Service Line etc

    Hi Wan, if you click onto the events page and then into the "University" section you will be able to sign up to the bootcamps there. The next one is taking place on Wednesday, 29 October 2025.

    Okay thanks, and to add on to my question, I came from a background of Mathematics, Finance, Economics, Statistics and Data Science, but didn't do IFOA or SOA, would it be disadvantage of me to apply for Actuarial Scheme compared to candidates that have completed some of those papers ?
