Open Day 2021: our 2021 Open Day is tailored for students who plan to apply for a vacation scheme in 2022; which typically means we invite first year law students and penultimate year non-law students. Beyond this, to be eligible for the Open Day we require that you have at least AAB at A-Level (or equivalent). Vacation Scheme 2021: to be eligible for the 2021 Vacation Scheme, you would need to be ready to commence a training contract in September 2023 (having completed all required studies) and otherwise be eligible for a training contract. An application for a vacation scheme in 2021, creates an automatic application for a training contract commencing in 2023. Training Contract 2023: in applying for training contracts, please be aware that we give preference to those candidates who have carried out a vacation placement with us. In addition, we require students to achieve at least a 2:1 degree and hold at least AAB at A-Level (or equivalent). We are looking for trainees with sound commercial awareness, rounded personalities and with the ability to think creatively. A need for common sense and a willingness to take the initiative is essential for trainees at V&E.
