Rolling Deadline
An application window that is assessed and filled as applications arrive rather than at a single closing date, so places can run out weeks before the advertised deadline. Standard practice for UK spring weeks and most internship programmes. The practical consequence: an identical application submitted in week one and week six of the same window is not the same application.
