About the program

We are looking for driven, curious students who are excited by a challenge and want to have a positive impact on their communities, whether local, national, or global. As a graduate at BCG, you will be tackling the toughest challenges, benefiting from accelerated learning that serves you for a lifetime, and working with a caring, diverse and inclusive community of exceptional people.

This page details more information about our recruitment processes, application criteria and recruiting events - we encourage you to read through prior to applying.

If you're in your final year (or already completed your studies within the last 3 years), and ready to launch your careers with us, this program is for you

We look for graduates with academic backgrounds across numerous disciplines, from business to humanities to science and more.

Hands-on learning, support from your team, and creative training programs from day one will allow for a smooth transition from the classroom to the real world of business.

Teams are small and the learning curve is steep while being supported in a deeply collaborative environment. The experience is unparalleled. We work both hard and smart as we partner closely with clients on solutions together.

BCG Australia and New Zealand Application Process

Graduates join BCG as Associates in our Consulting team. You will be asked to select up to two offices of your choice in order of preference.



To be considered for BCG within Australia or New Zealand, you must select either Auckland, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, or Sydney as your first office preference.

What we look for

We see a degree as just the beginning and seek recent graduates from across a range of disciplines. Diverse perspectives, distinct points of view, and shared ambition are essential to life at BCG.

Any work experience that you have had. We are seeking motivated individuals who can showcase a strong career trajectory and a high level of impact in the roles they have held – including retail, hospitality, or internships.

Your extra-curricular activities, whether on campus or outside of university life. Have you played sports extensively, or are you involved in a hobby that takes up a lot of your time? We look for individuals who demonstrate impact and legacy, significant contribution, and high levels of commitment, initiative, and responsibility.

Your academic credentials. For Associate applications, you should be in your final year of undergraduate or postgraduate studies or have already graduated from a degree with no more than 1-3 years of work experience. For our Scholarship Program, you must be in the penultimate year of your undergraduate studies (or Master's degrees, excluding MBA). Please include details of prizes or scholarships you've attained.

Work eligibility: We can only consider candidates who currently hold Australian or New Zealand citizenship or are an Australian permanent resident.
