Edinburgh Napier University, Deloitte launch postgrad programme

Deloitte will offer the same opportunity to those joining its IT Audit and Assurance and Risk Advisory teams as part of the firm’s graduate programme in September 2023

Deloitte has launched a new postgraduate education programme in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University.

The agreement allows Deloitte to offer a part-time Master of Science (MSc) qualification in Digital and Business Risk Management from Edinburgh Napier University to its IT Audit and Assurance and Risk Advisory graduate hires in the UK.

The course will be completed remotely, on a part-time basis over three years, alongside paid study-leave provided by the firm.

The first cohort of 35 Deloitte employees are already undertaking a series of modules which build skills in relation to identification and management of business and emerging technology and digital risks for organisations of differing size, scale and industries.

Deloitte will offer the same opportunity to those joining its IT Audit and Assurance and Risk Advisory teams as part of the firm’s graduate programme in September 2023.

Adam Conway-Howe, director in IT Audit and Assurance at Deloitte UK, said: “As technology and digitalisation continues to transform the world of business, it’s more important than ever that our people are aware of the opportunities and risks this creates for our clients.

“As part of the world-class training and development Deloitte provides for our people, we are excited to offer those joining our IT Audit and Assurance and Risk Advisory businesses the opportunity to gain a postgraduate degree in Digital and Business Risk Management from this fantastic university.

Kevin Johnson, Audit and Assurance partner at Deloitte in Edinburgh, added: “I am delighted that we’re working with Edinburgh Napier University on this programme. As a partner with responsibility for early careers in Audit & Assurance across the UK, I know the importance of building confidence, as well as a capacity for continuous learning, as our graduates join the workforce.

“As technology evolves and our clients’ requirements grow in complexity this qualification should help to ensure our people have the right skills to support them now and in the future.”
