UK Graduate Scheme Tracker 2026/27
UK graduate-scheme employers by sector. Each name links to the employer’s own careers page, which is where you’ll find this year’s deadline.
Filter by sector:
| Employer | Sector | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Deloitte UK Early Careers | Audit / advisory (Big Four + mid-tier) | Open for September 2027 starts. 106 of its 136 graduate roles close between 9 and 26 October; the rest, Audit outside London and Birmingham among them, have no deadline. Deloitte says it shuts roles early when applications are high. |
| KPMG UK Graduates | Audit / advisory (Big Four + mid-tier) | Audit and Tax roles for autumn 2027 are listed and open. The pages we opened give no closing date. |
| PwC UK Student Careers | Audit / advisory (Big Four + mid-tier) | All five graduate groups are taking applications, with no closing date on the pages we read. PwC fills roles as applications come in and says they “may close without warning”. |
| EY UK Students | Audit / advisory (Big Four + mid-tier) | 2027 applications are open and there’s no closing date. Roles shut once they’re filled or applications run high, and EY says some may reopen later in the season, so a closed one is worth checking again. |
