1st year law student @uni of kent!!

Hi @eke.mily

Welcome to the forum and I hope your first few weeks at Kent have been going well :)

Feel free to post any questions you have around applications or firms. The community assistants and other users will be more than happy to help. Although first year students are generally unable to apply to vacation schemes, I'd recommend having a look through this thread to get a sense of the kinds of first-year opportunities that might be available to you. Good luck with your studies and the application cycle!
 

About Us

The Corporate Law Academy (TCLA) was founded in 2018 because we wanted to improve the legal journey. We wanted more transparency and better training. We wanted to form a community of aspiring lawyers who care about becoming the best version of themselves.
