The University of Law 2018/19 prospectus

CONNECTING TO SUCCESS With more than 100 years of experience training practising lawyers and, more recently, business professionals, we have established and developed connections with a range of firms, chambers and employers in various sectors. We draw upon these connections to ensure that our courses remain relevant and give you the skills and commercial awareness that we believe will set you up for success. Our panel of visiting professors from leading law firms help to reinforce this principle, passing on their excellent legal knowledge and skills through their lectures and seminars.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS In an increasingly international economy we know how important it is to remain connected to the wider world, which is why we work with top law firms across the globe to maintain strong links with law schools and professional bodies throughout Europe and the rest of the world. EVENTS TO CONNECT We host a series of events to give you the opportunity to learn from professionals across the sector, as well as begin networking with industry leaders. These range from panel events to our annual National Law Fair, which attracts over 30 top law firms looking to recruit our students onto their training contracts. INSPIRING SUPPORT Our mentoring scheme has been running for over ten years, with support ranging from first seat trainees through to senior partners. Open to all postgraduate students, our aim is to provide one-to-one contact with practising lawyers, who can pass on their knowledge and experience.
