When do UK spring week applications open?
Each UK firm opens its spring week applications on its own day, so the UK has no one opening day.
Of the 45 UK firms we follow, 33 have posted a spring week or insight programme for 2027 so far. Last season, half of the 9 UK firms with an opening on record opened between 18 September 2025 and 15 December 2025. A UK listing then ran a median of 72 days before it was no longer listed, and 12 of this season's are no longer listed already. HSBC's page gives its Sheffield programmes a closing date of 2 December 2026 and its Birmingham programme 6 December 2026.
