About the programme
KPMG, one of the world’s largest professional-services networks, runs the Global Internship Program (GIP) as a short international rotation for students who are already interning at a KPMG firm in their home country. It is not a way into KPMG — it is a way to spend four weeks working at a KPMG office in another country, in tax, audit or advisory, while keeping the internship you already have. That distinction matters: every credible source, including KPMG’s own page, says you must already hold a home-country internship before the GIP is even an option.
The package is genuinely fully funded for those four weeks: visa expenses, return airfare, lodging/accommodation and a placement/mobility allowance are covered. You also get a performance manager and a mentor, plus access to KPMG training. What the programme does not publish is a cash stipend figure — no source states a monthly salary, so do not plan around one. Selection is competitive and interview-based, and the whole point of the rotation is the cross-border experience: working with a different team, in a different market, on real client work.
Eligibility
- You must already have accepted/secured an internship offer with KPMG in your home country — the GIP is a rotation on top of that local internship, confirmed by the official KPMG page and multiple aggregators.
- Be an undergraduate or recent graduate student.
- Have prior practical work experience — sources differ slightly on whether it is required or simply an advantage; treat it as expected and valued.
- Be open to a placement in tax, audit or advisory, and to a competitive, interview-based selection.
- Be able to travel internationally for four weeks on the rotation.
- Note: the 14-country list on some aggregators (China, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, South Africa, Singapore, USA, Vietnam) is an aggregator claim, not officially corroborated — the official requirement is simply a home-country KPMG internship.
