"Eligible candidates will need to be in the first year (or second year of a four-year course) of a law degree, or the second year of a non-law degree” What about 3rd year of a 4 year non-law course, would that count?! Someone help! :) :)- James Kitching

STEM Applicants - Patent Attorney vs Solicitor.
Massive shot in the dark here; are there any scientists on this forum who are also considering being a Patent Attorney and are torn between pursuing litigation or patents? I personally do not know which one I prefer, and would love to hear from someone in a similar position.- James Kitching

I feel exactly the same, I’m a penultimate year biochemist and managed to get an AC with HSF, was really passionate about working for a prestigious firm with a strong pharmaceutical IP team, got rejected because I wasn’t as strong on clauses and economical impacts of the contract.
