Our Vacation Scheme is a great way to experience 'real work'
In 2024 we will be running two vacation schemes in July. As a vacation scheme student, you are a potential trainee and are therefore treated as such. You will sit with either a partner or a solicitor and you will experience 'real work' of the type that a trainee would undertake.
Other activities will include attending lunchtime seminars, visits to the courts and departmental presentations. Our aim is to offer vacation scheme students a real insight into what it would be like working as a trainee at the firm.
2024 Summer Vacation Schemes
Applications will open 5 October 2023 and close 11 January 2024.
Vacation Scheme 1: Monday 1 July – Friday 12 July 2024
Vacation Scheme 2: Monday 15 July – Friday 26 July 2024
Please note that assessment days for the vacation schemes will take place in February 2024.
