Malin Lindbäck, student at Lund University, Scandinavian Programme 2010

'I felt very privileged and welcomed when I arrived at Queen Mary, University of London. The department had arranged a two-week introduction for all the Scandinavian students, which consisted of interesting and instructive introductory classes and tours. This way we all got acquainted with the common law system, finance law, and our new exciting hometown London. Studying Banking Law, Legal Aspects of International Finance, and Law of Finance and Foreign Investment in Emerging Economies has opened a whole new world to me. These courses have provided me with a general knowledge and understanding of the international financial system, which feels especially relevant considering the recent global financial crisis. Experienced professors, as well as guest speakers from big law firms and financial institutions, have explained this interesting and complex financial system in an intriguing and pedagogical fashion. Without a doubt this semester has helped me build a good foundation for an international career. Queen Mary has offered me a challenging and inspiring semester, for which I am forever thankful I took.'
