We have an excellent track record of graduate employment, enjoying extremely good relations with members of the legal profession regionally, nationally and internationally. Many employers target the University when recruiting new graduates and the University of Exeter works hard to maintain strong links with alumni. These links are particularly strong in the Law School where alumni often return to run mock interviews or give seminars and lectures. Many LLB alumni of Exeter are in senior positions in the legal world. Some examples of high profile alumni include: His Hon Judge Phillip Waller CBE Steve Edge, Partner – Slaughter and May Fiona Shackleton, Partner – Payne Hicks Beach Dato Ambiga Sreenevasan – President of the Malaysian Bar Council Sarah Turvill – Chairman of Willis International Ltd. A Law degree from the University of Exeter will equip you with a wide range of skills suitable not only for a career as a solicitor or barrister but also in the wider world of finance, administration and commerce. Skills which you will develop, such as the assimilation of large amounts of material, writing concise reports and problem analysis, are regarded as essential by many graduate recruiters. Many of our Law graduates follow their degree with further study in the law and then enter a training contract with a firm of solicitors or enter a pupillage in a barrister’s chambers. The Employability Service organises an annual Law Fair for students wishing to pursue a legal career and the Law School has a Business and Outreach Coordinator who helps facilitate opportunities for work placements and volunteering activities with local firms. Careers interviews and other employability-focused events are also arranged by the Law School in conjunction with the Employability Service. Many of our students take part in the Exeter Award and the Exeter Leaders Award. These schemes encourage you to participate in employability related workshops, skills events, volunteering and employment which will contribute to your career decision-making skills and success in the employment market.
