[QUOTE="ninadeoliveira, post: 144427, member: 26426"] Hiya! I'm Nina and I'm a foreign qualified lawyer starting an LLM at UCL this September (self funded) and I've been looking at training contracts and vacation schemes. I graduated in 2019 in my home country, completed a training contract and qualified there, but now that I've decided to up and move to London, I'm having to do it all over again. I know that in order to be employable here in the UK I need the experience only a training contract can give me. I've also talked to some friends in the field and they all agree TC is the best option for me. But I need to realistically know if it is even possible to secure a vacation scheme at my old age of 25 :( For example, I was looking at a law firm page and it said this: [I][B]Who is eligible to apply for a vacation scheme?[/B] Students and graduates from any discipline are welcome to apply for our vacation scheme, as long as you’re in your penultimate year of study.[/I] I am definitely not in my penultimate year of study, so they probably wouldn't even consider me, right? Have any of you guys gone through something similar? Any advice for me? I'm kinda lost and overwhelmed right now. Thank you for hearing me out! 💕 [/QUOTE]
