    Careers and employability

    Your future career

    Successful completion of this course enables you to proceed to be called to the Bar and proceed to pupillage. We have a dedicated careers and placement service who will support you in your search for both pupillage and alternative employment.

    The team provides practical sessions, advice and support, such as mock interviews. A number of presentations are given throughout the year reflecting the changing needs of students as they progress through the application process. The focus of these presentations is on both practice at the Bar, which reflects the ambitions of most of the students, and alternative careers.

    Students should view careers advice as something about which any BTC tutor can be approached. We are able to offer first-hand advice and guidance to students given our experience in practice.
