The Application Brief: Law & International Career

Everything in Cycle Support, plus the part no admissions consultant can do: an honest map of how you actually get into international law, government service, or work inside international organisations — from someone who has spent a career in those rooms and teaches the subject.

Who this is for

Your child says they want to do international law, or work at the UN, or "something with human rights." You have no idea whether that's a real career path or a teenager repeating something they heard.


It is a real path. It's also narrower and more specific than almost anyone tells you, and most of the decisions that determine whether your child ends up on it are made before they ever apply — which degree, which jurisdiction, which languages.

What this adds

Everything in Cycle Support: the session, the written plan, two rounds on the personal statement, all five choices reviewed, the under-18 walkthrough, clearing support, and email access through to results day.


Then the part that's specific to this career:


Which degree actually opens the door. A law degree is not the only route into international legal work, and in some jurisdictions it's the wrong one. We go through what your child's stated ambition actually requires.


Common law versus civil law, and why it matters. Choosing a UK or Irish degree versus a Dutch or Belgian one has consequences for where your child can qualify and practice later. Most families make this choice without knowing they're making it.


Languages. In international organizations, they are not a nice-to-have. We'll be specific about which ones and when to start.


The pipeline after graduation. Master's programs, traineeships, clerkships, and how people genuinely end up inside these institutions rather than how the brochures describe it. I teach international criminal law at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the NATO School Oberammergau, and the US Air Force JAG School — the students in those rooms are the pipeline, and I can tell you what got them there.


An honest assessment. If your child's grades or interests don't fit this path, I'll say so, and we'll talk about what does.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already booked another tier. Can I upgrade?

Yes. Whatever you've already paid is credited against this.

My child isn't certain about law yet. Is this premature?

Not necessarily — the degree and jurisdiction decisions get made now whether or not the career is settled. But if it's a passing interest rather than a direction, Cycle Support is the better value, and you can upgrade later.

Can you get my child an internship or a placement?

No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. I can tell you how those positions are actually filled and what makes an application competitive. I don't make introductions or trade on my position.

Do you write the personal statement?

No. I comment on it. Applications have to be the student's own work, and a statement written by an adult reads like one.

Do you guarantee admission?

No. Anyone offering you one is lying to you.
