The 698 programmes with no date
Most of the market does not publish one. This is the part of a season nobody writes down, so it is written down here: if an employer below is on your list, the deadline is whenever they fill the places, and waiting for an announcement is the mistake.
24 say they recruit on a rolling basis
These employers have told you the answer: apply early, because the scheme closes when it is full. Amazon, Armstrong Watson, Arup, Azets UK, Barclays, Blackstone, Buro Happold, Citi, EDF Energy UK, Fidelity International, Gartner, GSK, Leonardo UK, Macquarie Asset Management, Mishcon de Reya, Mondelez UK, Nomura, RSM UK, Simmons & Simmons, Tesco, Unilever, Vodafone.
674 publish nothing at all
At 521 employers we found no opening date, no closing date and no statement about how applications are handled. We say so rather than printing a date nobody set.

Questions about the season
When do UK graduate applications close?
There is no single deadline, which is the thing that catches people out. Consulting front-loads the autumn and several firms close in mid October. Law vacation schemes and training contracts cluster in December and January. Spring weeks run from October to January. Engineering and retail mostly do not publish a date at all and close when the roles are filled, so the practical deadline is whenever they run out of places.
Why do so many employers publish no deadline?
Because rolling recruitment suits them. An employer that closes when full has no reason to commit to a date, and a date they miss is a complaint. It is a real answer rather than a gap in our research, and we list those employers separately so you can treat them as urgent rather than assume you have until spring.
How current is this page?
Every date is quoted from the employer and carries the day we checked it. The page itself is rebuilt hourly from the same dataset that drives our programme pages, so a date that changes is corrected once and corrected everywhere. Nothing here is typed into a blog post that then ages.
Can I link to this from a university careers page?
Yes, and please do. There is no sign-up, no paywall and no account needed for anything on this page, and there never will be. If you run a careers service and want a cut of this filtered to your students, ask us.
