I really enjoyed my time at Carmel. You can really tell the staff care about students and the quality of teaching is excellent. I feel Carmel really set me up for my time at University and I am thankful to all the staff that helped me to get to where I am today.

“After leaving Carmel I attended the University of Leeds to study Law. I am now currently working full time as a Paralegal in Liverpool whilst also studying part-time for my Masters in Law (Legal Practice Course). Once I finish my masters this year I will be on track to qualify as a solicitor.”

“My tutors at Carmel showed me that I could do anything, even if I felt I couldn’t, they reminded me how much I am capable of!

“After leaving Carmel during COVID-19, I began my studies in Law at Lancaster University, where I spent 3 years studying and specialising in Human Rights and Environmental Law. Following my graduation in 2023, I pursued my Masters of Law and Environment at Lancaster, an interdisciplinary degree with the Lancaster Law School and the Lancaster Environmental Centre.

“I achieved a Distinction, and I achieved the Law School Blog Competition based on my dissertation work ‘Ecosystem Service and the Law’. I currently work in Property, for the UK Government on the Civil Service Fast Stream, where over the next 4 years I will develop my skills to become a Grade 7 Civil Servant.”

“I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and education I received at Carmel College. It is an excellent college and helped to prepare me for university.

“ have recently graduated my Law degree at the University of Liverpool and I am currently studying the LLM SQE 1 and 2 with the University of Law (Liverpool Campus). This consists of studying towards my SQE 1 and 2 (in which I will be sitting my SQE 1 over the next 2 weeks), and a Law Masters Degree, in hopes to qualify as a solicitor. The end goal is either a Family Law Solicitor or a Sports Law Solicitor!

“At university I met some of my best friends and the lecturing is excellent. I would definitely recommend Liverpool to anyone who is thinking about going to university! “

“I can’t express how much of a transformative impact Carmel had on both my academic journey and personal development. Specifically, the tutors helped me to realise my future career aspirations by believing in me and showing me what was possible. Carmel was simply the best.

“During my time at university, I was the President of Women Breaking Barriers in Law, a student-led initiative to empower the next generation of female pioneers within the legal industry. Additionally, I won the University of Leeds x University of Law Debate Competition and was a finalist in the University of Leeds x Herbert Smith Freehills Mooting Competition.
