University to host legal recruitment fair

Around 40 prospective employers will be on campus on Thursday 26 September for the University's annual Legal Recruitment Fair, one of the largest events of its kind in Scotland.

The fair will also give Law graduates and students the opportunity to put potential employers in the dock, with around 350 expected to attend the event at the University's Bonar Hall.

Alison Mackay, from the University's Career Service, said, "The University of Dundee Law School is well-known for the quality of its Law courses and employers are always keen to snap up our graduates.

"There are several similar events around the UK but our reputation for producing talented, motivated graduates is a huge draw for employers and cements the University of Dundee's reputation for being at the heart of the UK legal industry."

The flagship event offers students and graduates the opportunity to learn about the latest internships and employment opportunities, as well as providing a platform for potential employees to learn more about different legal organisations.

As Dundee offers dual qualifications in Scots and English Law, the fair attracts firms from across the UK, including several multinationals.

While the quality of Dundee students helps to attract employers to campus, students and graduates of any university are welcome to attend. Entry is free with no need to pre-register.

The Dundee Legal Recruitment Fair takes place in the Bonar Hall, Park Place, on Thursday 26 September from 11:00 - 14:30.
