“The university provided me with the opportunity to work with real life clients, through a yearlong internship at the Central England Law Clinic. This experience helped me gain an insight into the daily life of a career in law and gain an array of skills needed for a legal career.”

The best learning experiences stem from direct exposure to the industry — and in this, Coventry University has provided the perfect opportunity. The GROW mentoring scheme, founded in March 2020, is designed to widen students’ access to the legal profession, all whilst providing an avenue for observation and growth.


Here, students and early career professionals are matched with experienced mentors from the legal profession who share similar backgrounds and experiences. Those selected for the scheme benefit from tailored advice, career insights and general hints and tips — all from a professional working within the industry itself.




Expand your legal networks

Connecting students with networks that will help boost their careers is a crucial aspect of gaining an education at Coventry Law School. To ensure this, the Law School has established the “Raising the Bar” scheme — offering students the opportunity to engage in online and face-to-face events with institutional members and guests from the legal profession. Previous sessions include talks from I. Stephanie Boyce, the first black female president of the Law Society and Mary Prior QC, a leading criminal silk in the Legal 500.


This is interspersed with weekly “Spill the Afternoon Tea” sessions, where students can discuss hot topics with industry specialists. Every topic is invited — from running your own law firm, being a BAME lawyer, what HR officials really look for, and more — providing for a safe and open space for students to receive honest insights into the legal profession.


More than that, the school hosts an annual Coventry Law School alumni week, inviting former students to share their experiences, advice and tips with current learners.
