Leading careers service
A successful legal career isn’t just down to hard work and high-quality training – although these certainly play their part. Effective, well-connected careers support is just as important.
When it comes to achieving your career ambitions, you’ll get all the help you need from The College of Law. In fact almost 90% of our students are in training contracts or other legal roles within one year of graduation from the College.
Our legal careers service is the largest and best resourced in UK legal education. It’s staffed by a dedicated team of careers experts who’ll help you to build a professional network through links with a wide range of leading firms and sets of chambers.
Support from the start
As soon as you accept your place at the College, you’ll have access to our careers service, including:
- online guidance and a wealth of careers advice
- extensive job vacancies database
- careers workshops
- telephone and e-mail support for careers queries
Practical help for your future
From the July before you start your course, you can also have one-to-one advice sessions with our careers advisors and attend workshops to help you to:
- find work experience and placements
- draft your CV
- apply for jobs
- understand what’s happening in the legal market
- meet employers
- find a mentor in legal practice
"The careers service offered by the College is excellent. The careers advisers are extremely helpful and friendly. It’s great to be able to drop in with a question and to be met by a friendly person who is very keen to help you."
