Work Placements

Through our continuous work in developing contacts with legal practitioners across the UK, Bangor University Law School is able to offer students an impressive programme of work placements.

Work placements offer a unique opportunity to experience the type of careers Law graduates might wish to pursue, from Solicitors' Practices to Local Government. Placements enable students to make informed decisions about what to do after graduation, be it to continue with their legal studies, pursue research in a particular field or choose a career path.

Some of the firms to offer placements to Bangor Law students include:

Hill Dickinson
Hugh James
Gamlins
Tudur Owen Roberts Glynne & Co
Hillyer McKeown
Gwynedd Council
Barristers' Chambers in Chester, Liverpool and Manchester

All students are welcome to apply for placements. Information about openings will be posted on Blackboard, the online learning resource tool, at the start of every academic year.
