ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP
We have two four-week internships at Newton. Here’s how it works.
Our Summer Academy and Pioneering Potential Programme both offer the same incredible opportunities. However, our Pioneering Potential Programme is designed to encourage talented people from low socio-economic backgrounds to pursue a career to which they might not have otherwise had access.
On both programmes, interns will receive two weeks of training on our processes and consulting methodology. There is no need to be from a consulting background or have any prior experience.
You’ll also learn about developing your personal brand, communications and presentation skills. After that, you’ll spend two weeks working on a live project with our people - an experience like no other.
Those who shine on the programme are offered positions here at Newton, meaning if you’re successful, you’re guaranteed a Graduate Consultant role when you finish university.
When
7th July – 1st August 2025
(Pioneering Potential)
4th August – 29th August 2025
(Summer Academy)
Where
Two weeks at our Oxfordshire Head office followed by two weeks on site for a live project. We’ll cover your expenses whilst you’re with us.
Salary
£24,000 pro rata.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR
The Summer Academy is an introduction to consulting so no prior experience is needed, however we're looking to see in you:
- Strong analytical and conceptual capabilities, but you don't need to be an engineer or mathematician
- Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills
- Real self-awareness and emotional intelligence
- The ability to draw meaningful insights from an ocean of information
- Self-motivation and an eagerness to take on early responsibility
- A collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively as part of a team
- A highly flexible and adaptable approach

Pioneering Potential Programme
❝I felt it was important to apply to the Pioneering Potential Programme so I could work alongside other people from similar backgrounds. However, once I was at Newton, I was treated exactly the same as all other consultants.❞
Newton’s feedback culture
❝The feedback throughout the internship was fantastic, and I really appreciated it and grew so much.❞
Working on a real project
❝My assigned project was within the Public cluster, working in Adult social care. The client saw me as an actual consultant, and I was given real responsibilities on the project.❞
PIONEERING POTENTIAL PROGRAMME

Our Pioneering Potential Programme is built to address the disparity and encourage upward social mobility.

- Free school meal eligible at some point during secondary education
- Attended a school that is above the regional average for Free School Meals
- First generation in immediate family to go to university (includes if sibling attended university, parents attended university abroad or parents attended university as mature students)
- Occupation of main household earner was considered lower socio-economic background at a the age of 14, the classifications of these occupations can be found here
The criteria for our Pioneering Potential Programme has been developed in line with the Social Mobility Foundation’s guidance for recognising working-class or lower socio-economic backgrounds in students. We have also used the UK Government’s recommended list of parental occupations to help us define lower socio-economic backgrounds in our workforce.
