What influenced your decision to choose a LLM at Queen Mary?

My decision to join the Tax Law LLM programme at QMUL was influenced by many factors. I shall highlight only three. Firstly, the programme has a wide range of modules from which a student can choose including Transfer Pricing, International Tax Law, European Union Tax Law and jurisdiction specific tax modules like US Taxation and UK Tax Law, among others. Secondly, the programme is taught by experienced and leading professors in their respective areas. Lastly, the programme ranks as one of the best LLM tax law courses in the world and was highly recommended by its alumni.

How did you find the teaching and learning?

The Tax Law LLM programme at QMUL blends theoretical and practical knowledge to ensure that students get a comprehensive understanding of tax law and practice. In addition to the great teaching team, the professors often invite industrial specialists to give practical insights to students.

Did you combine modules across specialisations and if so, what were the advantages of this?

One of the advantages of undertaking an LLM at QMUL is that you are allowed to combine modules across specialisms. However, the Tax Law LLM is self-contained. I completed the Tax Law LLM without combining modules across specialisms.

What piece of insight or advice would you offer for future students?

I would recommend the Tax Law LLM course at QMUL to any student aspiring to deepen their knowledge and understanding of tax law and how the same is applied on the international stage. The programme covers every aspect of tax law!

Has gaining a deeper understanding of your specialisation helped your career?

The Tax Law LLM has helped me gain extensive knowledge about key aspects of tax that a tax lawyer/adviser has to deal with on a day-to-day basis. I am now well equipped to advise and handle tax issues that may affect my clients.

What was your best experience of studying at Queen Mary?

One of the best things about studying at QMUL was making friends from diverse backgrounds and countries.

Would you be willing to share your Testimonial? If so, you could help a prospective student to make an informed choice to study at Queen Mary. (Class of 2020, 2021 and 2022 only).
