Student profile - Nehir Toygar

(Law LLB, Graduate Class 2027)

As a law student at Queen Mary, I've enjoyed combining my academic interests with practical experience through volunteering, while exploring how the law responds to the challenges of our increasingly digital world.

    Which class do you look forward to the most? 

    Internet Law has been my favourite module so far. It's a fascinating subject because the internet has become such an important part of everyday life and modern society. The module explores the legal challenges that come with our increasingly digital world, making it both highly relevant and thought-provoking. It's particularly interesting because the law is constantly evolving to keep pace with technology and the way we communicate online.

    What have you already done through Queen Mary to move your career forward and was there anyone involved?

    I am currently volunteering with a debt advice organisation that I discovered through opportunities promoted by Queen Mary. The role has given me valuable practical experience while allowing me to support people in meaningful ways. Through this work, I've been able to develop professional skills, gain insight into client-facing work, and explore different areas of practice, which is helping me make informed decisions about my future career path.

    Chase opportunities. No one will hand them to you unless you go for it.

    If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself the night before your first day at Queen Mary?

    I would tell myself not to be nervous and to make the most of every opportunity to meet new people. While academic success is important, university is about much more than grades. Building relationships and growing your network can enrich your experience and provide support, advice and opportunities throughout your studies and beyond.

    What's the best thing about London?

    What impressed me most when I first arrived in London was its diversity. The city brings together people from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. I've also come to appreciate the kindness and respect people show one another in everyday interactions. It's these small moments that contribute to London's unique sense of community and make it such a rewarding place to live and study.

    Is there anything else you'd want prospective students to know?

    Chase the opportunity - no one will hand them to you unless you go for it.
