My name is Philippa Hardie and I am the specialist Law Career Consultant here at the University of Chester.
A warm welcome to the University and to Careers and Employability, in particular.
You might wonder why you are getting this message about Careers so early in your studies but it really is important that you start thinking about your future, whether in Law or elsewhere, from Level 4 onwards.
I will be meeting all of you during the Law School Induction during Freshers' Week and hope to be able to talk to some of you at the Social Event on Tuesday 24 September.
I am based in Careers and Employability on the main campus opposite the Binks Building.
Please have a look at the Careers and Employability web pages at www.chester.ac.uk/careers where you will find further details about:
