Career paths
There is a very high rate of employment of our students within six months of graduation. We have specialist career advisers who organise events and assist with finding internship opportunities at UK and international law firms and other employers.
—I’m an entrepreneur, running my start up. Electronic Engineer and Lawyer. This is the perfect thing for me. I travel a lot for my work, so this is a perfect way to get access to what’s going on. Flexibility to create my own programme according to my needs was the reason I made the decision. The number of students is low, so you get a lot of direct support.
