Pan-European Seal Professional Traineeship Programme

We are delighted to announce that the University of Liverpool has joined the Pan-European Seal Professional Traineeship Programme.

By partnering with the European Union Intellectual Property Office and the European Patent Office, graduates of the University of Liverpool will gain exclusive traineeship opportunities, allowing them to work overseas for 12 months with some of the world's largest Intellectual Property offices. Additionally, they will have access to a wide range of learning resources through the Intellectual Property learning portal.

The Pan-European Seal (PES) Professional Traineeship Programme is a comprehensive traineeship programme that bridges academia and the labor market in different fields (IP, law, finance, business, engineering, etc.) to promote and disseminate intellectual property among the academic community.
