Hi guys, final year non law student in the process of applying to Vac schemes and TCs. I have always been interested in living abroad, but only speak English and have no other links to other countries (did a study abroad in America I guess kind of relevant). Does anyone know what its like applying to, say, the Middle Eastern TCs of MC firms. Is it more or less competitive, do you need visas already etc. Is it a good career move? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Read the terms and conditions, but as Jessica said, most of the foreign TCs are for native/completely fluent Arabic/Mandarin speakers. Visas generally aren’t an issue because the firm will arrange them - your main problem is you don’t speak the required foreign language fluently.
It’s also worth noting that some of the TC programmes abroad make it very clear you will be qualifying as an NQ in THAT country - ie you can’t qualify as a Clifford Chance Dubai trainee and immediately transfer to London.
