Careers and Employability

Graduate careers

Most of our graduates go on to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) and work as a solicitor, or progress to the Bar Training Course to become a barrister. The course equips you for the professional stage of these legal professions both in the UK and, if you are an international student, in some common law jurisdictions such as Canada, Nigeria, or Bangladesh. Our alumni work in diverse roles, including NHS legal teams, legal tech at Osborne Clarke, paralegals, and public defenders. The communication and logical thinking skills you develop on the course also prepare you for various other professions.  

Careers support

The course provides a wide range of legal specialists, with our staff guiding you to choose the paths that match your strengths and aspirations. Our dedicated careers team will assist in finding employment opportunities, understanding the requirements of your chosen route, preparing your CV, and offering interview practice to help you succeed in your applications. 

Industry partners

We collaborate with top legal firms and public organisations to provide placement opportunities, guest speakers, and networking events. Capital Law offers placements at their Cardiff office, and you can also apply for internships with Hugh James or vacation schemes with Slaughter and May. Plus, you have the chance to work with Employment Tribunal Litigants in Person Support (ELIPS), where you can shadow barristers and solicitors providing free representation in employment tribunals.
