Summer Placement Programme

MMS offer students the opportuntiy to apply for a summer placement. The placements last for a 3 week period and will take place between June and September each year.

In Scotland you will be placed in one of our 12 practice areas in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen. We will take into account which office location you prefer.

In London you will be placed in one of our 9 practice areas at our One London Wall office.

Placements are paid and you will attend an induction on your first day covering general firm information, IT training and guidance on how to get the most out of your placement. You will be supported within your team by a 'buddy' who will ensure you settle in and will be available to answer any queries you may have.

Deadline for applications

Scotland: The deadline for applications is 25 January 2015.

London: The deadline for applications is 11 January 2015.
