Key dates and information
We're delighted that you're considering making an application to one of our opportunities. Below is some information that will help.
Applications for our 2027 opportunities will open soon.
Once open, opportunities will close once positions are filled or if we receive a high volume of applications, so we encourage you to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment. In some cases, roles may reopen throughout the recruitment season, so please check back regularly if the role you're interested in is currently closed.
Keep an eye on the email address you used to submit your application, as we'll use it to share updates and guidance on the next steps. If you progress through the recruitment process, you'll receive deadlines for completing assessments, so it's important these are completed on time. We recommend completing assessments as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of progressing.
If you're successful at the online assessment stages, you'll be invited to attend an EY Experience Day.
- EY Experience Days will run from November 2026 to April 2027.
- If your programme includes a final interview, it will usually take place two to three weeks after your EY Experience Day, subject to a successful outcome.
We receive a high volume of applications each year, so thank you for your patience while we review your application. If you'd like to learn more about life at EY, meet members of our recruitment team or hear from current graduates, visit our events page and join us at an upcoming event.
