We offer a wide range of talks, workshops and other events designed to help students find out about careers in law, criminology, business and policing for students ranging from year 10 – 13.
During pandemic
We appreciate that during this time it has been challenging to organise and run career and HE sessions. The University of law would like to support you in this. We have a range of sessions developed to deliver virtually in to your students. Contact us now to enquire about Ulaw supporting your students (contact details below).
Our sessions
Our experienced staff and student ambassadors can visit your school or college and deliver a range of interactive workshops to students in Years 12 and 13, Further Education Years 1 and 2, and parents/carers.
All our events and activities align to Gatsby Benchmarks 2, 4 & 7.
Our workshops and talks explore your students’ employability and skills development and are all free of charge. They are usually an hour long and run to class sizes of 20-50 students, however they can be tailored to your requirements.
Here are the events we offer at schools and colleges. To book, please contact one of our Student Recruitment Managers. You will find their contact details at the bottom of this page.
