There are also placement opportunities between years 2 and 3 on the programme, with a module in year 1 focusing on employment skills to enhance both your likelihood of getting a placement and ultimately your ability to get a job at the end of University.

These are some examples of where placements have been obtained by previous students. There have been placements in Sintons LLP one of the leading law firms in the North East, the placement is in the marketing department however this would give any potential trainee a unique insight into the marketing and development of a law firm and the ability to show in any application or interview that they can contribute to the commercial development of that law firm as well as being a trainee in the firm.

Many of the big London law firms are looking for this experience as much as legal experience. If you decide not to go into law the law with business or international business will give you a solid foundation and understanding of how business works alongside the legal knowledge that is essential in any sort of business environment.
