This is an annual virtual event, taking place in the Autumn. It’s open to undergraduates and graduates. It is a great way to find out more about being an IP specialist and working for a tier one firm. Not all firms are the same and the day gives you a chance to experience our friendly and inclusive culture. During the day you will meet current trainees, qualified patent and trade mark team members and partners and get an insight into what makes a great IP expert.

You will be able to get some tips about how to apply for our vacation scheme or trainee programme. The open day is relaxed and informal. Whilst you will want to make a good impression at the event, no assessments are made. Instead, this is your opportunity to find out about joining the IP profession and working at Boult.

Eligibilty

You will need at least 136 UCAS points from your post-16 qualifications and to have completed at least the first year of your undergraduate degree. You need to have, or be on track for, at least a 2:1 degree. If you’re interested in becoming a patent attorney, your degree must be in a STEM subject including physics, chemistry, biological sciences, engineering or maths. There are no academic subject matter restrictions for those considering the trade mark attorney profession. For international students, we will expect the equivalent national qualifications.
