Hi everyone,
There are lots of great careers events (teaching and law), internships and jobs popping up that I wanted to make sure you know about!
It’s an exciting time of year – lots of organisations have started to advertise graduate roles and summer opportunities. So, keep your eyes peeled and take a moment to scroll through our career emails – I don’t want you to out on the perfect position!
Get in touch with the careers team if you would like support applying for jobs or work experience - we can offer CV, cover letter and interview help. And, as always, I’d be delighted to speak with you 121 in a career guidance appointment…email here: careers@qmul.ac.uk to book your appointment.
We also had a fantastic History at Work Alumni Panel event last Wednesday – do watch the recording here for top career tips and insight.
Hope to see you soon,
Charlotte – SoH Careers Consultant

Are you a final year student considering qualifying as a solicitor or barrister? You now have access to new careers resources as part of a collaboration between Queen Mary and BPP Law School.
The “The Bridge Programme” is a free, online career development programme you can complete independently to help you transition to a legal training pathway. There are two programmes – Bridge to the SQE and Bridge to the Bar. Students who complete at least half of one of the Bridge Programmes will have the chance of being awarded a scholarship in 2022, which works as a fee reduction against the cost of BPP’s GDL, SQE or BTC programmes and all students who complete the programme will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.
