TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[johnsmith]

Anyone else still waiting to hear from Mayer Brown summer?

They are doing spring first as their priority, learnt this at an AC.

Just to add, please don’t message me about the AC contents. They advise you if invited what the tasks are and I won’t breach their confidence regarding what the tasks look like.

anyone ever email grad recruitment about being unavailable for an AC date? Im currently enrolled in a course which is quite strict on tutorial attendance and the AC would clash with 2 classes.

Is anyone still waiting to hear back from Bank of England ?

Which stage?

I think they are semi rolling for their vac scheme. This is what I’ve found from their website -
“We’ve made our application process fair but rigorous - we want to see you at your best! Applications are reviewed as they come in, so you might hear back before the deadline. We may also close applications early, so don’t leave it too late.

Take your time to put together a strong application, but if you’re keen, get ahead of the game and beat the rush!”

PS: I finally understood how people reply to several posts all at once

Well, considering they do their assessment centres in Jan and there are 4 days left of Jan and I've heard nothing... I dont have high hopes

Any tips on how to prepare? What exactly do the test do anyway?
