When to apply

The application system re-opens on 1st November.

If you are studying towards a law degree, you need to apply after completing the second year of your degree, preferably when you have received your second year examination results. The closing date for receipt of applications is 31 July.

If you are studying towards a non-law degree, you should apply during the final year of your degree course. Applications are accepted from November onwards and the closing date for receipt of applications is 31 March.

If you have already graduated, although the Law Society's Recruitment Code of Practice does not apply to graduate students, we still prefer to consider your application at the relevant time. So law graduates will need to apply by 31 July and non-law graduates by 31 March.

Should you have any queries regarding the timing of your submission, please contact us.

Please note that due to the volume of applications we are unable to provide feedback to candidates at the application stage.
