The Role

Law Survey Ambassador - The Times Final Year Student Survey 2024


High Fliers Research, working in association with The Times is looking for enthusiastic, committed and innovative individuals to work as Law Survey Ambassadors at 21 leading universities for law across the UK. The Ambassadors provide vital support to the Research Manager at the High Fliers head office by coordinating a variety of campus based market research and project management tasks to help us better understand your university and its final year students.

University careers services, the national press and legal graduate employers – including Allen & Overy, Slaughter and May, DLA Piper and Latham and Watkins - are all invested in the results of this survey, and the results are presented to firms in early 2025 to inform their graduate recruitment programs. Your role as Law Survey Ambassador will play a crucial part in this.

Applicants must be in their penultimate or final year of undergraduate study, and be studying law or able to demonstrate a strong interest in a law conversion course following the completion of their undergraduate degree. They must be studying at one of the following universities:

The ideal candidate will be sociable and have a good knowledge of their campus, with connections to law-related societies and clubs. They must be able to plan and organise efficiently, and have the ability to work independently using their initiative to deliver the task at hand on time and to a high standard.
