LLM - Human Rights 

"After studying an undergraduate law degree in Vienna I decided that I wanted to continue my studies and broaden my legal knowledge, especially in the area of common law. I had also been keen to study abroad and had always loved visiting London. I began researching courses and was particularly impressed by the wide range of modules offered on Queen Mary's LLM program. I really liked that Queen Mary is located in a very young and trendy area which is inspiring and creative – I knew this was the place for me!

Queen Mary is home to many outstanding professors and lecturers and I have found the staff in the School of Law very supportive and happy to discuss any questions we have.  The modules cover a broad variety of topics and I really enjoy having the opportunity to research in well equipped libraries such as Senate House library, which is part of the University of London. 

The "Critical Thinking and Writing" course for law students is very helpful. We concentrate on how to manage our time and develop our thoughts, reading and writing, in order to submit a good dissertation at the end of the programme. Additionally, I attended a course called "English through Literature" which was extremely interesting and useful for developing my English language skills.

Queen Mary was very supportive during the enrolment process including helping me open a UK bank account. During the induction week we had several presentations from services such as Advice and Counselling and the Housing Office, which were very useful.

I found it very easy to make friends at Queen Mary as students tend to be open and friendly. During the induction week there were several social events organised which was a great opportunity to meet other students and get to know each other."
