[USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], Thank you for clarifying these questions 1 and 2. I am sort of in a similar timeline as I will be graduating in July 2026 from university ( Law degree ) and have not secured any VC and training contract thus far.My add-on questions are :1) I would like to apply again for VS / TC schemes in the upcoming autumm/winter cycle. Would it be possible to apply for VS/TCs directly for 2027 to avoid having a gap year ?2) Will there be firms still recruiting for direct TCs commencing mid-2027 ? The timeline that is outlined here involves a gap year,October 2025 to July 2026 - Recruitment processAugust/September 2026 - SQE prepJanuary 2027 - Sit SQE1April 2027 - Sit SQE 2August 2027 - Receive SQE2 resultsAugust 2027 - September 2028 - Gap year3) Will doing a year of LLM specialism ( eg..in IP etc. ) during that gap year be beneficial vs obtaining practical legal work that may count towards QWE ?Thank you.
