TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I’d expect firms to look at different things here, but if I had to summarise themes: (1) how well you communicate it so someone with no knowledge of the topic can clearly understand it, (2) the depth of your analysis, and (3) how convincingly you demonstrate a genuine interest.

I think the commercial issue chosen is also relevant. It makes sense to have something to talk about that is relevant to the firm's clients.

Thanks so much both

Hi! I have BBC at A level but a 2:1 (67%) at uni, and I am on track for a distinction in my conversion. I know law firms like A&O and Herbert’s say no a level requirements but is it worth applying?
