NCS Law School
The NCS Law School was set up to provide a dedicated service to those students who aspire to study law at some of the world’s leading universities, before heading onto a legal career with a global ‘Magic Circle’ law firm or a top Barrister set.
With students securing offers to some of the most high-profile law schools every year, NCS Law School has quickly established a local and national reputation for supporting students with their applications and providing unparalleled opportunities not available at other Sixth Forms. The NCS has forged strong relationships and partnerships with companies such as Clifford Chance LLP, Norton Rose LLP, Baker McKenzie LLP and White & Case LLP to name but a few. These links provide NCS students with unparalleled support and exposure allowing our students to have a competitive advantage when looking for future vacation placements and training contracts.
The NCS Law School consists of a team of dedicated experts and is ably led by Andriea Vamadevan, a Senior Associate Solicitor at Baker McKenzie LLP.
“When I got to White & Case in Abu Dhabi I was completely put into the work environment, I was given responsibility at an early stage. I am really grateful for that initial internship from The NCS because it really set me up in terms of my ambition and skills. At the same time it got me connected to the firm.”

The Student’s View On NCS Law School
"There were so many opportunities, I just signed up for everything ... We were assigned a mentor from Clifford Chance which is one the biggest law firms internationally. Having that kind of relationship in the professional sector that you want to go into is really helpful."
"NCS has given me the confidence skills to take part in public speaking and debating. At LSE I’ve joined the debate club and mooting society, these are things I wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t for the confidence and skills that The NCS equipped me with."
