Careers support
"The Careers Service at Nottingham Law School is incomparable. The Careers Consultants are friendly, approachable and consistently go out of their way to assist. Not only has my CV been improved as a result of the advice given, but my employability has also increased through mock interviews, consultation sessions and expert advice. I go out of my way to recommend the services on offer to fellow students, but not too far as I don't want everyone to have the same edge I do!"
Rick Thomas GDL FT 2012
