LLM in Comparative and International Dispute Resolution

"After having studied law at Istanbul University, I was eager to complete my LLM degree in law. I was determined to be specialised in comparative and commercial law and following my research on this area, I was convinced that QMUL was the best option to apply for.

During my studies at the University, I realised I made the best choice. The course provided an excellent foundation for a professional career in International Arbitration, focusing on the key elements of practice and procedure in International Arbitration. I found a top-quality LLM program at QMUL. The university offers an excellent program and variety of different lectures as well as extremely reputable and well known academics. Direct contact with the professors, frequent tutorials, feed-back sessions with the students, individual research support and out-of-London inductions, parties, well located lecture venue and friendly staff, which gives a completely new meaning to the word administration. Following my graduation, my CV was found very attractive not only in London, but also in Turkey when I returned. My LLM degree from QMUL proved to be a great asset during my job applications and interviews. I am now an Attorney here in Istanbul at Paksoy & Co."
