London Study Trips

The London Law study trips are an amazing opportunity for students to spend time in the heart of London in some of the biggest Law firms.

UCD London Study Trips

Every year UCD Careers organises the London Finance & Consulting Trip and UCD Corporate & Commercial Law Study Trip. 

These are really exciting trips to top banks and consulting firms and some of the biggest law firms in the heart of London. This amazing opportunity allows students to get an insight into various careers in London while gaining inside knowledge of recruitment and selection processes. The trip helps students gain a deeper insight into different practice areas and career paths while developing key employability skills while also meeting and spending time with UCD alumni working in these companies. 

Students who have been on the trip previously have said: “I have wonderful memories of the study visit which really opened so many doors for me. I don’t think I would be working in London had it not been for the trip.”

Employers visited in previous trips include JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Barclays Bain Consulting and Boston Consulting Group, Clifford Chance, Slaughter and May, Jones Day,  Greenberg Traurig, Kirkland and Ellis and Dechert.
