3 intakes listed, every one read from BlackRock’s own recruitment system. Last confirmed 12 September 2026.
BlackRock runs the full early-careers ladder from London and Edinburgh: a two-year Full-Time Analyst graduate programme, a 2.5 year Client and Product rotational programme, an eight-week summer internship, six-month off-cycle internships, a 12-month industrial placement, a spring insight week and an 18-month school-leaver apprenticeship.
BlackRock's own published process has two stages: an online application with a mandatory pre-interview assessment, then interviews with the hiring function. It recruits on a rolling basis and says plainly that applying earlier improves your chances. Miss the five-day window to complete the assessment and the application is automatically withdrawn.
Applications for the cycle open in the summer with deadlines varying by programme. For 2027 entry, the London deadline for the Full-Time Analyst, Client and Product rotational, and Placement programmes is 30 September 2026.
Stages as BlackRock describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.
