UK Early Careers Applications 2027, What You Need to Know
The 2027 UK early careers cycle covers spring week applications opening from September 2026, summer internship applications opening from August 2026, and graduate scheme applications opening from August 2026 onwards. This tracker covers every major firm across investment banking, asset management, management consulting, commercial law, and Big 4 accounting, updated as firms open and close.
Spring Week Deadlines 2027
Spring weeks are 1-week work experience programmes for first-year students, run in March-April 2027. Applications open 6-12 months in advance, usually September and October 2026. The most competitive spring weeks in finance, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Barclays, typically open in October 2026 and close within 4-6 weeks. Most firms do not have fixed deadlines for spring weeks, they close when places fill. Setting alerts on firms is the most reliable way to ensure you apply before a programme fills.
Summer Internship Deadlines 2027
Summer internship applications for 2027 are aimed at penultimate-year students graduating in 2028. These are 10-12 week programmes running June-August 2027, and are significantly more competitive than spring weeks.
Investment banking summer analyst applications typically open in August 2026. Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan are historically among the first to open, often in the first two weeks of August. Consulting summer internship applications, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, typically open in September and October 2026.
Law Vacation Scheme & Training Contract Deadlines 2027
Commercial law training contracts operate on a different timeline. Magic Circle firms, Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Allen & Overy, Freshfields, Slaughter and May, run vacation schemes as the primary route into a training contract. Vacation scheme applications typically open January-March 2026 for summer 2026 schemes, with training contract offers made at the end of the scheme. Use the Law tab in the tracker above for firm-by-firm deadlines.
