Important dates for all Law students to note

It's that time of year when graduate recruitment for all sorts of different careers gets started and Law is no exception.  There are deadlines to be aware of for second and third year students, in particular, so I have summarised the main ones below and included what's happening in the Law School for careers events.

Firstly, if you are in your final year and are thinking of applying for the BPTC you need to know:

1. Unless you expect to achieve a 2:1 or a 1st in your final year, you are wasting your time and money in studying the BPTC.
2. The deadline for applying for a Scholarship from one of the Inns of Court is Friday 7 November 2014.  Huge sums of money are available to help with the high cost of the BPTC so don't miss out.
3. Applications for the BPTC open on 10 November and close on 12 January 2015.

Please let me know if you need help with your applications.

Secondly, dates to remember:
