When do consulting graduate schemes open?

MBB and Big Four schemes usually open in late summer and review applications as they arrive. Applying early in the cycle matters because places fill before the stated deadline.

Are these deadlines kept up to date?

Each date comes straight from the firm's applicant tracking system, so it updates when the firm updates it. Roles without a published date are shown as not listed rather than estimated.

What background do consulting firms look for?

Firms recruit across degree subjects and care most about structured problem-solving, numeracy and the way you communicate. Case-interview practice is the usual preparation.

Consulting Graduate Schemes & Internships Tracker — 2026

Consulting recruiting at MBB and the Big Four moves on strict annual cycles, and rolling reviews mean later applicants face worse odds. Aplaro currently tracks 731 live consulting roles with deadlines pulled directly from each firm's applicant tracking system. Use the filters to narrow by firm, deadline window or location.
