[QUOTE="pri, post: 175883, member: 34355"] The problem is that I'm already a second year student and haven't applied for any yet... I'm not sure I'll be able to apply for next summer but there's a variety of problems I'm facing when it comes to applications. First of all, the majority of firms specifically state that the students applying for the vac schems should have the "permission" to work in the UK which is someting I don't have as a non UK citizen. That would mean I'd have to get a Visa which is quite expensive and usually won't allow me to work the hours the vac scheme is asking me to do. I've had these issues in relation to the majority of the firms people talk about on this platform but maybe if I look for other firms I won't, idk. Secondly, even if I did apply for a vaction scheme next year, I don't have any experience in the field so I doubt any firm would be interested in my application... I coould wait to get some more experience before applying, the problem is that the majority of firms ask for second/last year students, I think I'll be able to get some working experiences only after I graduate... Everything I'm saying is based on the firms people talk about on this platform (so usually important ones) and what they ask for. Do you think if I looked for smaller firms I'd be able to get in more easily? So sorry for the long message I have so any doubts. [/QUOTE]
