Summer Vacation Schemes and the GDL (Jan start)

[M&ALawyer]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have experience in starting the GDL in January, and doing summer vacation schemes within this same year? Is this realistic or is there usually an overlap between the dates of study and dates of vacation schemes?

I have a work commitment which means I can only start the GDL in Jan, and am fearful this may restrict my availability to apply and attend any vacation schemes!

Thanks

Is it a fast track course?

Yes I believe it is the accelerated course.

Probably worthwhile getting confirmation of what dates the course concludes. Some of the later summer schemes might be a possibility but for firms with earlier dates you may just want to apply for direct TCs or winter schemes if you can fit them in.
