🎓 Pathways to University

Can I study X at university with BTEC Y?

Can I get into university to study X with poor GCSE results?

Do I need specific A-levels to study X at university?

These are the most common questions asked by students. The key message is: always check individual course requirements on UCAS.

Some BTEC qualifications are accepted when combined with specific A-levels.

Poor GCSE results may not be a barrier if predicted A-level grades are strong.

Predicted grades can often carry more weight than specific subject combinations.

If a student doesn’t meet entry requirements, we remind you to explore foundation year courses, designed to bridge the gap and offer an alternative route into university.

💼 Work Experience & Career Exploration

What work experience is most suited for course X?

Is experience in Z relevant for a career in Y?

Does virtual work experience count?

Work experience can significantly strengthen university and job applications. Encourage students to:

Research relevant sectors and organisations

Identify structured programmes for sixth formers and apply in time

Reach out proactively to companies if no formal programmes exist

Tailor their emails to improve chances of securing a placement

If traditional opportunities aren’t available, think creatively:

✔ What transferable skills do I need for my future career?

✔ Can volunteering, clubs, or competitions help me develop those skills?

✔ Are there online courses or virtual work experiences I can complete?

While in-person experiences tend to build broader skills, online opportunities are still valuable and can help strengthen both university and job applications.

Why Choose Sidley?

Sidley's London office offers students the best of both worlds-the experience of working in one of the largest international law firms along with the relaxed, down-to-earth friendliness of a smaller office. Here you will find high-quality work on par with Magic Circle firms and an energetic, meritocratic and supportive environment.

There is a world of opportunities for you to get involved and make your mark at Sidley, from trainee right through to partner. We have a reputation for working on innovative, complex transactions, which helps to make life here all the more interesting and challenging.

The London Office
CSR
Sidley London's Corporate Social Responsibility programme has been designed to allow our employees to help with the causes that mean the most to them while also working collectively to address the primary needs of our local community. All Sidley London personnel are allowed up to two community investment days, which allow them paid time off to work with any registered charity of their choosing. Our charitable partnerships focus on young people and equal access to City careers. Annually, Sidley personnel mentor around 20 young people from a local academy to raise aspirations and encourage them to focus on their studies. The London office also runs a work experience week in collaboration with the PRIME Commitment. This allows a group of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to learn more about life in the City. In 2021, our CSR programme is expanding to include a CSR flagship so we can have an even bigger impact on our local community.
Diversity & Inclusion
Sidley's commitment to diversity & inclusion is not limited to policies but shown in the level of support provided, making this key to life at the firm. We have two global committees, both of which focus on pursuing strategies that maximize the firm's success in attracting, recruiting and promoting lawyers from groups typically underrepresented in the legal profession to partnership and positions of authority and leadership within the firm. Such underrepresented groups include, but are not limited to, ethnic minority lawyers and women. The key thing to note is that both committees have a direct line of communication to our Management Committee and our Executive Committee. This means that all voices are heard and information about the experience of being a lawyer here flows to the very people who make decisions about how the firm is run.
Sustainability
Sustainability has always been a key priority for the London office and impacts the way we work on a daily basis. Externally, we ensure that all vendors who provide a service for our London office share our environmental values and are focused on limiting our impact and finding suitable eco-friendly alternatives. In 2020, the London office relocated to a brand new building which was designed with sustainability in mind. All Sidley personnel are required to use a central recycling bank and are given reusable coffee cups, there are no single-use plastics in the office, and printing capabilities are tailored to minimize paper waste. Sidley London also runs an awareness initiative in collaboration with our working group, the Environmental Awareness Group. This group allows employees from all levels of the firm to generate ideas for change and best practice, and has a key focus on increasing internal awareness about the small differences individuals can make to minimise our impact as a collective.
During Your Training
You will have many opportunities to learn and develop during your training. You will get involved in real work from day one, and will gain international experience not by constantly traveling but by working on multijurisdictional matters and with people from all around the world.

Trainees spend time in at least four of our practice groups, which include: Banking and Financial Services, Capital Markets, Global Finance, Healthcare and FDA, Insurance, Investment Funds, Litigation, M&A and Private Equity, Regulatory and Enforcement, Restructuring and Tax.

Trainees also have the opportunity to apply for international secondments to Hong Kong and Brussels as well as a client secondment.

In each group, you will be supervised by a partner or associate to ensure that you receive individual training, which is both effective and based on practical experience. In addition, there is a structured timetable of training on a cross-section of subjects.

We take a flexible approach that is driven by your ability and willingness to contribute and develop. As a result, you can get as much as you like out of a particular seat, depending on how much you invest in it.
Compensation and Benefits
The firm provides a market leading benefits package. Click here to view the details.
GDL/LPC and Financial Assistance
We offer ﬁnancial assistance to our future trainee solicitors for the GDL (if applicable) and the fast-track LPC, and expect both courses to be studied at BPP Law School. We pay the course fees and provide an annual maintenance grant, which currently is £11,000.
Continuing Your Career with Us
When you join us, we'd like it to be for the long term. We have an excellent track record of retaining trainees on qualiﬁcation. Ideally, you will stay at Sidley once you've qualiﬁed and continue developing with us all the way to partnership.
How to Apply
Each year we take on around 12-14 recruits. We're looking for people who are bright, with outstanding academic qualifications. You'll need to have a minimum of three A-levels (at least three A grades), and to have (or be expected to achieve) at least a 2.1 degree or equivalent (not necessarily in law).

Beyond pure academic ability, we're looking for people who are genuinely intrigued by the commercial world. People who are sociable, who can work well with others and get on well with clients. People who have demonstrated self-discipline, the ability to persevere and use their initiative. If you can focus, analyse things and ask the right questions, you'll be in a strong position.

We aim to recruit all of our trainees from the vacation schemes.

If you have any questions, please email UKGraduateRecruitment@sidley.com.

# data[].attributes.subject
11th & 17th May 2025 Conference Dental or Medical/ UCAT (Years 10-14)

# data[].attributes.body
When applying to dental or medical school and the new UCAT changes, students should aim for a minimum UCAT score of 2000 Band 2, which is within the top 20% of UCAT results.

We want to ensure that all students are equipped with the best resources, support and guidance through your UCAT preparation to help achieve the best score possible.

One of the best ways we can help provide this support is by recommending  aspiring medics and dentists to Medic Mentors upcoming Get Into Conferences. These events, led by experienced Chief Mentors and guest speakers who scored within the top 10% of the UCAT exam, are designed to guide students throughout not only the entire UCAS application process, but also how to tackle the UCAT with confidence.

Register for the Get Into Medicine Conference on:
Sunday 11th May from 9:30am - 3:30pm
https://airtable.com/appgXnyzN5ZD9Iwk6/shry7MZYtt3MGPjvO

Register for the Get Into Dentistry Conference on Saturday 17th May from 9:30am - 3:30pm:
https://airtable.com/appgXnyzN5ZD9Iwk6/shrBuiR7SBAcC19kE

At one of their previous conferences, they heard from Carolyn, a medical student who shared some valuable, in-depth insights into the UCAT exam:

“To help with your working and your speed for decision making, using algebra and abbreviations is really helpful. Try not to write down all your workings out and keep it minimal so you’re not wasting too much time. I know that the UCAT can seem quite intimidating, but there is a huge network of support you have access to through Medic Mentor. Remember, if someone was able to do this before you, there’s a good chance that you’re going to be able to do this as well, it just takes the right bit of practice.”

Attending these conferences provides  students with valuable insights and strategies for tackling the UCAT, as well as giving you an opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals who share their passion for medicine and/or dentistry.

During these sessions, we will cover:
- UCAT and UCATSEN overview and resources
- Tactically choosing universities
- Medical and Dental school interview skills
- Medical and Dental Awards and Leadership Programmes
- Extracurricular activities
- Work experience
- Building a medical/dental CV
- Applying for scholarships to study medicine or dentistry

Students will not only leave with enhanced test-taking abilities but also invaluable connections and resources to support their dream of a career in healthcare.

How to Choose between University or an Apprenticeship (Years 12-14)

# data[].attributes.subject
How to Choose between University or an Apprenticeship (Years 12-14)

# data[].attributes.body
As students begin planning their next steps, many are faced with the big decision: university or an apprenticeship? Each route offers valuable benefits, but choosing the right one depends on a student's career goals, learning style, and financial preferences.

To help guide your students, Career Compass have put together key tips, resources, and advice to support students in making an informed decision.

🎓 University – Who Is It Best For?

✔️ Ideal for students who want to specialise in theory-based learning and gain in-depth subject knowledge.
✔️ A traditional route into careers requiring a degree qualification (e.g., medicine).
✔️ Offers a broader student experience, including societies, networking, and independence.
✔️ Time to explore different interests – Students don’t have to commit to a specific career right away and can study multiple subjects before deciding on a specialisation.

✔️ Greater flexibility in career choices – A degree can open doors to a wide range of industries.

💼 Apprenticeships – Who Is It Best For?

✔️ Great for students who prefer hands-on learning, gaining real-world experience while earning a salary.

✔️ Earn while you learn – Apprentices get paid while training, avoiding student debt.
✔️ No tuition fees – training is fully funded by the employer.
✔️ Direct entry into industries such as finance, law, technology, and engineering with clear career progression.
✔️ Competitive entry process, but often leads to permanent job offers.

📌 Resources to Help Students Compare Their Options

🔗 UCAS – University course search, personal statement tips, and application guidance.
🔗 RateMyApprenticeship – Reviews and listings for top apprenticeship employers.
🔗 Amazing Apprenticeships – Government-backed platform for apprenticeship opportunities and career resources.

✅ Advice for Students Making the Decision

✔️ Consider their career goals – Does their chosen profession require a degree? Are there apprenticeship routes into the field?
✔️ Research salary expectations – Look at the earning potential of both routes in their chosen industry.
✔️ Gain experience – Encourage students to do work experience, virtual placements, or industry insight days to see what suits them.
✔️ Think long-term – Both paths can lead to career success; it’s about what works best for their learning style and personal circumstances.

All of our year 7 and year 8 students on both campuses have the amazing opportunity to see the BAE Educational Roadshow presentation.

MGA are working in collaboration with BAE Systems, The Royal Air Force, and The Royal Navy to deliver an engaging theatre roadshow celebrating STEM across Britain.

Aligned to the National Curriculum, this fully funded offering includes a 50-minute performance to inspire and engage our students, and digital resources to support teachers develop lessons in the classroom.

The theme of our 2025 show is Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is already making a tremendous impact across the globe. Our presentation introduces the topic of Artificial intelligence as a tool that can be embraced with just as much gusto as Google was 5 years ago. The Roadshow demonstrates some useful applications of AI for both teachers and pupils and stresses how important human skills are to ensure that we can maximise the effect of Artificial Intelligence in our lives.

They demonstrate some already well-established tools and illustrate how to spot deep fakes and other dangers surrounding AI. They demonstrate how AI can be a valuable learning tool for both teachers and pupils - all with the assistance of our AI robotic dog, Lexi. It is a show full of surprises and insight that is designed to promulgate the safe adoption of AI tools in the public domain, today and tomorrow.

Allied Healthcare Mentor  are thrilled to extend an invitation to students in years 10-13 year groups to their upcoming session on Sunday 2nd March 8:30am - 5pm, focusing on Recovery and Rehabilitation: Strokes & Opioid Dependence.

How to Register: Click on the following link and complete eth registration form.

https://alliedhealthmentor.org/nhs-healthcare-careers-virtual-work-experience/

The NHS Virtual Allied Healthcare Work Experience offers a unique opportunity for aspiring healthcare students. It's a unique opportunity for your students to hear from our exceptional guest speaker, Melanie Dalby, a pharmacist with a wealth of knowledge and insights to share!

Melanie will provide invaluable career insights that will help you to develop a deeper understanding about a career in healthcare. Following Melanie’s talk, students will gain an intimate look at the healthcare industry in the virtual NHS work experience, delving into diverse roles within allied healthcare and taking a closer look at patient care by following the journeys of two patients from incident through to treatment.

The NHS Allied Healthcare Work Experience is the largest programme for aspiring healthcare professionals, having successfully invited over 12,000 students to participate in its programme last academic year - many of which have gone on to study:

- Nursing
- Midwifery
- Paramedicine
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Dietetics
- Radiography
- Prosthetics and Orthotics
- Speech and Language Therapy
- Pharmacy

Registration Link: https://alliedhealthmentor.org/product/live-virtual-work-experience-programme/

Once registered, students will receive access to their virtual work experience portals. Better yet, every complete session comes with a Work Experience Certificate, and for those who complete the full 6-month programme, there's a Highly Commended Reference – a fantastic addition for apprenticeship and UCAS applications.

Registration will start at 8:30am, with guest speaker Melanie from 9-10am, then the live work experience session starts at 10am and end at 5pm. Plenty of breaks are scheduled throughout the day.

Students can register at any time throughout the 6-month programme using the link below. We recommend booking early to gain as much out of this programme as possible.

Places are £10 a session to cover administrative and technological costs, or £50 for the full 6 months:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Each Live Work Experience event will showcase all of the careers above. Students will follow a series of patient case studies (as they would with in person work-experience), and learn about how each career has an impact on the patient as well as how they work together as part of a multidisciplinary team. This is important because it will help students to make an informed career decision and give them a more detailed insight into all of the allied healthcare professions over a 5 month programme.

We will not have an entire day focussing on just one profession, because it is important for students to have knowledge of healthcare careers in general to make an informed decision and strengthen their applications. For example, a student must be able to answer the question, 'why do you want to be a nurse and not a speech and language therapist?' at interview. However, over the course of 5 months, students will also build a substantial amount of insight into the profession of their choice.
