International Students right to work during the Winter/Spring vacation scheme
Hi, just wondering if any international student has any experience with vac schemes during BPP's full-time LLM SQE 1 & 2? Their term dates seem to run until August which rules out summer vac schemes as well- Lawstudentlookingforjob
