Hi all,

I'm a penultimate law student looking to apply for an open day and VS here but I am not sure what the website says with regards to whether open day applicants can still apply to VS. It's a bit contradictory and could you please help in clarifying what it says x Thank you very much

You may apply for:

A Vacation Scheme 2023 in conjunction with a Training Contract 2025

OR

A Training Contract commencing 2025

OR

An Open Day in December 2022

We automatically consider all vacation scheme applicants for a training contract. Please note, if you are applying for a vacation scheme, you will need to select 'yes' for both the vacation scheme and the training contract options.

We accept one submission per candidate, per recruitment season. If you apply for a vacation scheme and your application is unsuccessful you will not be able to submit a separate training contract application. Open day applicants may return to apply for a vacation scheme or training contract at any time during the application window.

You may apply for an open day if you are in the first year of your undergraduate degree or a candidate preparing to make an application for a vacation scheme or training contract.

Hi there! From reading what you've provided, you can apply for an open day and a vacation scheme as it saids '[o]pen day applicants may return to apply for a vacation scheme or training contract at any time during the application window'. It does not make any sense for the firm to prevent you from applying for their vacation scheme in this cycle after having hosted an open day as that would defeat the purpose of the open day.

Hope this answers your question!
