Fancy becoming a CMS Campus Ambassador?

CMS Campus Ambassador Role

Applications will open April 3rd 2026

As a CMS Campus Ambassador, you’ll play a vital role in bridging the gap between students and the professional world. You’ll represent CMS on your campus, organise events, and share valuable insights about career opportunities and industry trends. Join us to enhance your leadership skills, expand your network, and make a lasting impact on your peers.

In this role, you will:

  • Represent CMS on campus, acting as a friendly, knowledgeable point of contact for students interested in legal careers.
  • Organise and support events, such as information sessions, networking opportunities, and engagement activities that help raise CMS’s visibility at your university.
  • Share insights and updates about career pathways, application processes, and industry trends — helping your peers make informed decisions.
  • Promote CMS initiatives, using newsletters, social content, and conversations to build awareness and excitement around the firm’s programmes.
  • Build relationships with CMS teams, fellow ambassadors, and student societies to grow CMS’s on‑campus presence.

Hear from some of our previous Ambassadors

Anna - University of Strathclyde

Being the CMS Campus Ambassador for Strathclyde has been an incredible opportunity and one that has massively helped prepare me for my Training Contract assessment centre. Through engaging with members of the firm, speaking to students and attending events on behalf of CMS, I have learned so much about the firm and its values. Securing a Training Contract was a very proud moment for me, and I could not have done it without the support I have received from the CMS team during my time as an ambassador!

Akarsshaa - University of Southampton

Being a CMS Campus Ambassador gave me invaluable exposure to the firm, from engaging with trainees to attending the CMS Training Day, where I had the opportunity to visit the office. This first-hand experience allowed me to gain a genuine feel for the firm's culture and working environment. When it came to my Assessment Centre, I felt more confident and at ease, as I was already familiar with the office and had meaningful conversations with those who had been through the process themselves. These insights, combined with my role in promoting CMS, ultimately helped me secure my training contract.

Eden - London School of Economics

Being a Campus Ambassador has been such a rewarding experience. It has given me the opportunity to work closely with the CMS team, connect with university ambassadors across the UK and support one another’s student initiatives. As a non-law student, engaging with students from similar backgrounds and inspiring them to explore a legal career was particularly meaningful. Throughout my time in the role, CMS has been so supportive, and I genuinely believe that my experience as a Campus Ambassador strengthened my training contract application, allowing me to showcase my enthusiasm and commitment to CMS. I cannot recommend CMS highly enough and my role as Campus Ambassador consolidated it for me!

Aleksandra - University of Edinburgh

Being an ambassador for CMS has been a most rewarding and insightful journey - I had the opportunity to make meaningful connections, gain transferable skills, and learn about the firm in a way I had not before. All of these aspects ensured that I was successful in securing my Training Contract with CMS, and have made me eager and excited to begin this new journey.

Imran - King's College London

Working as a CMS Campus Ambassador has been a valuable experience and has provided me with a greater understanding of commercial law and CMS, while also developing my skills. I can't wait to continue my journey with the firm during my training contract!

Callum - University of Aberdeen

'The CMS Ambassador Programme was a great opportunity for me to stay involved with the firm after completing the Insight Programme. As the ambassador for the University of Aberdeen, my responsibilities were to bolster CMS’ on-campus presence, support students with their applications, and drive engagement with the firm. In the confidence of our training, I enjoyed hosting events and broadening my network both at CMS and within the law school. I highly recommend applying for the role – it was enjoyable and I felt it was a good way to build momentum ahead of the assessment centre.'
