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.
