Career

Our law graduates are in high demand with employers. Successful completion of your Law degree provides you with the first qualification for entry into the legal profession, and it also equips you with strong analytical, critical and persuasive skills. These are crucial skills, whether in the legal profession, local or national government, international organisations, the voluntary sector or business.

We have excellent links with industry, and several organisations, including well-respected law firms, support us. For example, you can apply for work experience placements in local firms that are ring-fenced exclusively for Reading law students. You can also gain insight into aspects of the profession by participating in local pro bono projects. Recent pro bono projects include: the local Communicated Legal Advice Clinic, where you act as an adviser supported by local practitioners; the Freedom Law Clinic, where you can assist with appeals against miscarriages of justice; and mediation training with Resolve, where you can apply in subsequent years to deliver mediation-related work.
