We are looking for more than academics
You will need a strong academic background and proven ability to apply your intellect in the real world. But we are looking for more than consistently good academics, we value other experiences very highly too. This could include work experience, a part or full-time job, commerciality, travel, music, sport or culture. It’s also the reason why our minimum academic criteria is CCC at 'A' level and a degree in any subject (or equivalents).
Spend a good amount of time thinking about how you'll show evidence of the strengths you have in other areas on your application form. Answering the competency questions shows us who you are now, and what skills and knowledge you’ll bring to the firm.
