Careers Prospects
As we are a vocational post-graduate course, students should be aiming to apply for work experience (vacation schemes, mini-pupillages etc) during the course, in the hope that a training contract, pupillage or other legal position (such as an in-house role or paralegal role) can be achieved.
In order to assist you with this goal, we have a series of Careers Masterclasses that explain the process to become a solicitor or a barrister in England and Wales, the timetable for applications, the range of activities covered by Assessment Centres, how to fill in application forms and display commercial awareness, and surgeries where you can check your application forms, and CVs, with members of the PLI. We also have a dedicated Careers Consultant for the Dickson Poon School of Law, and a wide range of resources to help you with your career aspirations
