Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

Teaching, research and administration in law school.

Writing distance learning materials, teaching students via 'correspondence' tuition, administering undergraduate law module, conducting and writing up research.

Most aspects, but particularly attending conferences, carrying out research, collaborating with colleagues on teaching and research, teaching students.

It is intellectually challenging and requires a fine balance of teaching and research.

I am very interested in the intellectual side of the law and teaching students.

Masters degrees in law and history and PhD in law. Research, writing, leadership, team-working and teaching skills.

November 2004 and October 2005 (following my MA) I worked on a temporary basis for a mobile phone software company.

2005 - 2007 I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course (combined LLB) at The College of Law in Guildford.

From August 2007 - August 2009 I worked as a trainee solicitor for DLA Piper UK LLP in London, qualifying as a solicitor in August 2009.

September 2009 - September 2010 I completed an LLM at the University of Birmingham. I also worked part time (15hrs p/w) for DLA Piper UK LLP in Birmingham as a solicitor.

October 2010 - September 2015 I was registered at the University of Nottingham completing my PhD in law.

I intend to continue research and teaching in law in the Higher Education sector.

I have spent a lot of time at university and am embarking on a second career quite early on in life. I don't regret the path I have taken but I would advise anyone to try to think about what it is they want to do and how they will get there. In particular, to be a lecturer you need to be passionate about research or teaching or both.
