Mercedes Cooling
"Studying law has been beyond anything I ever imagined. I’ve completed five mini-pupillages, interned in Texas, and mooted nationally! I’m going on to study the New York Bar, and couldn’t have done that without the support of the tutors at Birmingham City University and the plethora of opportunities on offer to enhance my CV."

"My time at Birmingham City University has been truly enlightening. The support from tutors, the course content and the various extra-curricular opportunities have all contributed to my self-development as an aspiring barrister. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed studying here and very much look forward to the next stage of this venture - studying the Bar course to become a barrister."

"The preparation for my internship was rigorous and allowed me to refine my practical lawyering skills. My placement has really let me develop my practical investigative skills, and network a little with experts and attorneys around the office. I am really excited about the work. It is amazing that as a student, I am using the lawyering skills learnt in preparation to make an actual, physical contribution to the lives of people in the legal system that need help the most."
