There are slim pickings available for students seeking pupillage, according to statistics released by the Bar Standards Board. Only 28% of BPP London’s students from their 2011, 2012 and 2013 courses have found a pupillage, and only 17% of the 2013 course have started in chambers. Over the same period, 22% of students at the University of Law’s London branch and City Law School have started a pupillage. This compares to 3% of students at the University of Northumbria and 6% of students at Cardiff University.
