“The wide array of networking events on offer have enabled me to meet a variety of different solicitors and even secure work experience with the General Medical Council, which is not usually offered to students. I’ve also strengthened my interview skills through interviews with the Crown Prosecution Service and other organisations” Aamenah Chohan, LLB (Hons) Law with Criminology.
