Your world of opportunity
Learn a new language You’ll have the opportunity to learn a new language alongside your studies. The University Language Programme is available to all of our students, giving you the option of learning a new language, or improving the skills you’ve already got. Learning a new language can: • enhance your communication skills; • enrich your experience when travelling abroad; and • boost your career prospects. International Summer Schools Everyone in the Nottingham Law School has the chance to take part in our International Summer School Scheme, and get a real taste of the profession from a European perspective. Each of our week-long courses has a different legal focus – whether you want to explore criminal justice in Berlin, human rights in Strasbourg or international humanitarian law in Geneva, there is something for every area of interest. Along with a series of inspiring legal lectures, each summer school features a range of trips – on these trips, you’ll have the chance to socialise with students from our partner universities, and explore the cities you visit. Visit www.ntu.ac.uk/summerschools for more information.
Speakers and conferences We deliver a number of lectures, seminars and conferences each year. In 2016, we’ve hosted the third International Advocacy Teaching Conference, and an inaugural lecture by Jonathan Doak, Professor of Criminal Justice at Nottingham Law School. Practising lawyers visit the School as part of our Professional Practice Lecture Series. Our recent guests have included a former high court judge, and speakers from firms including Geldards and Browne Jacobson, who spoke about aspects of their work and the legal system. These insights have provided students with a greater understanding of legal practice, and valuable professional insights that have helped them to gain employment. Law Fair Every January, Nottingham Law School runs a Law Fair. This fair is attended by regional and national firms, and provides an opportunity for our students to meet with recruiters to discuss opportunities and make contacts within the legal profession.
