LLM Public International Law 2008-9

“I decided to study an LLM at Queen Mary as I had already completed an LLB with the University and admired the teaching styles of many of the professors, their supportive attitude and the welcoming atmosphere the university has.

During the LLB I studied English and European Law and therefore wanted to explore a new area -Public International Law. I thoroughly enjoyed the LLM not just because of the excellent level of teaching and interesting discussions carried out in class but also because of the vast variety of specialist courses.

Also, I had an opportunity to attend the Frankfurt International Investment Moot Court whilst studying the International Trade and Investment Dispute Settlement course, which was an unforgettable and exciting experience. This course and involvement in the Moot Court has influenced my decision to pursue a career in International Investment Arbitration.”
