Business Summer Work Experience

Do you see yourself as a future entrepreneur managing your own multi-million enterprise one day? Perhaps you’d like to pursue a career as a businessman or woman for a huge multinational organisation?

On Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th of July from 10:00am - 4:00pm we’ll be hosting a 2-day virtual Careers in Business event headlined by the University of Law’s Business School.

We’ll be bringing along several global employers including data technology giants Experian, Europe’s biggest bank HSBC, internationally renowned investment bank and financial services company Goldman Sachs and the $45 billion turnover professional services firm PwC.

The University of law is one of the UK’s longest-established specialist academic institutions and in 2016 they opened their leading Business School. They, too, will be running a mock lecture-style session designed to give students a taste of what it’s like studying business at university.

Following on from the 2 days online, on Friday 29th of July, the University of Law will be opening all of their 5 university business locations for an in-person business-focused day. If you want to be a part of this, you’d be more than welcome to drop in for the day.

Join us for what’s set to be a thoroughly engaging insight into the business world this summer and hear from some of the world’s most successful organisations.

Kick-off this summer with an excellent addition to your CV / Personal Statement.
