Edinburgh Napier University has launched a postgraduate education programme for Deloitte.
The agreement allows the Big Four firm to offer a part-time Master of Science (MSc) qualification in Digital and Business Risk Management from Edinburgh Napier University to its IT Audit & 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 & Assurance and Risk Advisory teams as part of the firm’s graduate programme in September 2023.
Deloitte UK IT Audit & Assurance director Adam Conway-Howe 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.
