[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 212985, member: 36740"] Hi, I’ve just seen that you’re a new member - huge welcome to TCLA! We’re so thrilled to have you here ;) You can absolutely get a TC as an intl student - I am one myself! The type of law you studied being different to UK LLB degrees doesn’t really matter. Firms will just likely make you do the PGDL before the SQE. Your other internships and paralegal roles also place you at a good stance to craft better reasons for why commercial law and why X firm, when answering app questions and completing cover letters. Applying for vacation schemes in your case will be difficult, as most law firms do not sponsor visas for vacation schemes. So unless you have permission to work in the UK, are on a graduate visa, or you’re an intl student (and the dates of the VS fall outside your term-time), then taking part in a VS will not be possible. The best thing is to apply for direct TCs. Though firms may not have as many places for these, please do not be deterred, as I have very many friends that have succeeded in this way. Your application strategy just has to be on point. Your research needs to be clear and evidently shown on the form (just as it should be for a VS application anyway). This thread should also help more - [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/where-firms-recruit-from-vacation-scheme-vs-direct-tc-applications-2024-2025.9147/[/URL] I do know that Sidley Austin sponsors visas for VS, so worth applying! Once again, welcome to TCLA…!!! Let us know if you’ve got any questions at all. [/QUOTE]
