PwC and Deloitte have maintained their position as the top two places for graduates to work in the UK following publication of the Top 100 Graduate Employers by The Times.

KPMG came third (also for the second year running) and Ernst & Young was 11th.

PwC, Deloitte and KPMG beat competition from organisations such as Accenture, Goldman Sachs and the BBC to take the top three positions.

Deloitte’s graduate recruitment partner, Sarah Shillingford, said: 'We are delighted to be ranked second place again this year. We are recruiting over 1,400 graduates and undergraduates and this independent recognition reflects our profile as a leading employer of UK graduates.'
