If you’re doing a typical English course - so 3 year duration you apply in your first year. If you’re doing a four year course (the typical in Scotland) you apply in your second year.

You can apply for the Clifford Chance PRIME scheme during your A-Levels or apply for a Year 12/13 open day.

Also Clifford chance don’t review applications on a rolling basis so you have until mid December 2020 to apply meaning you can settle into uni and join societies etc so you have things to write about on your app. Agree with the others you should deffo look into the year 12/13 open days the firm does. When I did spark no one said they felt like they weren’t ready having only just started uni so don’t worry you’re all in the same boat :smile:

Has anyone done their interview? How did it go & do you know when we’ll here back? :smile:

I’ve had mine! I thought my first interview (competency) went really well but I found the commercial awareness one tough! It was so time pressured and also I didn’t like the fact it was just one interviewer. Not holding out much hope but I reckon we’ll find out on Friday or early next week. How did yours go?
