Placements

We believe that an option to take a year working in a professional practice in a business setting or law firm is a valuable educational opportunity for our students.

This optional year aims to enable students to benefit from working within professional practice for a year exposing students to a wider experience enhancing future employment opportunities and assisting with professional mobility.

This module is optional for students on the Law for Business LLB programme within Lincoln Law School. It is a year long module which enables students to spend a year working in a professional practice of their own choice. Eligible students must have completed their second year of study to a satisfactory standard. During the year spent in professional practice students will attend team meetings with the professional practice manager within the Law School, will attend a meeting with the professional practice manager and their employer and will provide a written portfolio and a presentation about their working experience and finally to complete a feedback form.

There is no additional costs to the student as they are working as employees.
