During an eye-opening hospital work experience as a teenager, Hamza began to question whether Medicine was really the best career choice for him. After accidentally stumbling across the world of Law, he also discovered one of the UK’s best kept secrets: Solicitor Apprenticeships. No debt, a free law degree, £20k+ starting salary, work experience and a guaranteed path to becoming a Solicitor. So, despite having straight A*s at A-Level and university offers from LSE and UCL, he turned them down to become part of the first ever cohort of Solicitor Apprentices at Norton Rose Fulbright. Now living his “Suits” dream, he shares the incredible opportunities he’s had working for an international law firm since 18, why he chose a degree apprenticeship and his words of wisdom for parents and students.
