When do UK graduate schemes open?

Most open between August and November for roles starting the next year. A lot of schemes review on a rolling basis and close once full, so the published deadline is often later than the real cut-off.

How is this tracker kept current?

Deadlines are read directly from each firm's careers system rather than maintained by hand, so they stay in step with the firms. Roles with no published date appear as not listed.

UK Graduate Schemes Tracker — 2026

Graduate schemes across finance, law and consulting open from late summer and many close early once filled. Aplaro currently tracks 851 live graduate-scheme roles with deadlines verified against each firm's careers system, so you never plan around a stale date.
