The SQE for International Applicants - with The College of Legal Practice

International applicants - I feel how tough the legal journey can be for you. There's visa restrictions that limit access to vacation schemes and the question of whether you’ll be able to stay in the UK if you don’t find a training contract.

You’re pursuing a legal career in a country with a different set of rules and often know few people going through the same journey. It’s common to feel the odds are stacked against you compared to UK applicants.

Watch our virtual event: 'The SQE for International Applicants' with The College of Legal Practice that was recorded on 26 September 2023 at 6pm.

We talk through what the SQE means for you, the role of visa requirements, exemptions and qualifying work experience, and talk through successful case studies from international applicants.
