With record numbers of students in higher education, having a degree may no longer be enough to get you a job.
Employers frequently look for more than just academic achievement in their prospective employees.
Part of getting the right job is being prepared. Having the background knowledge on a prospective career can help in focusing your efforts on getting employed. Talking to those who are already doing the job can aid you in making up your mind, and ensuring you make the right choice. The SOAS Law Society feels that such preparation and opportunity should begin as early as a student requires it. As such, we organise regular careers forums, inviting guest speakers to give presentations on a side range of careers topics, from banking to law, from government work to careers in NGO's, as well as advising on post-graduate education and courses.
