[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 125622, member: 2672"] University brand will not be an issue at MC or SC firms. There are a whole host of reasons why fewer low-ranked universities are represented in trainee cohorts, but the main reasons are: [LIST] [*]A lot of their students won't meet academic requirements, specifically A-level or equivalent grades [*]Access to careers events/networking with law firms is trickier as firms are less likely to attend events at those universities [*]Careers advice from careers service or academics can be more difficult to obtain due to lack of expertise [*]The student population usually are not aiming on mass to go into MC or SC firms - so there is less peer support networks [/LIST] If you feel you can get past such typical barriers, there shouldn't be any issue with you applying. In my time, I have recruited from: University of Sussex Aston University, Birmingham University of East Anglia UEA Northumbria University, Newcastle Keele University University of Lincoln Nottingham Trent University University of Reading City, University of London University of Essex University of Dundee University of Greenwich University of Hertfordshire Liverpool Hope University Kingston University University of Westminster, London Bournemouth University Brunel University London University of Bedfordshire Staffordshire University Middlesex University Royal Holloway, University of Londo... University of Northampton [/QUOTE]
