A unique opportunity for first-year law students and second year non-law students to explore a career in law, build their skills and access personalised careers advice.
In November 2007, a group of the City's leading law firms joined together to launch the CSET Summer School, a unique initiative designed to identify and encourage university students from a diverse range of backgrounds to consider a career in the law. The objective of the CSET Summer School is to unlock the potential in students in higher education who might not have excelled in their A levels and/or are not studying at one of the top UK universities.
The Summer School is an intense residential skills-training event to be held at Queen Mary University of London. It will use the law as its context and include group and individual structured sessions while providing business and social networking opportunities. Students will meet senior representatives and graduates from leading law firms as well as visiting the firms' offices. More info and how to apply
