I graduated from the Queen Mary University in 2016 with a Masters of Law (LLM) in International Economic Law degree. Among the universities offering an LLM program, Queen Mary was the only school offering a wide array of specialisms and was the only one that specifically offered the specialism that I wanted to pursue. Based on research I made, Queen Mary also has an exceptional reputation as an academic institution and have extinguished professors and lecturers who are considered experts in their respective fields.
On top of that, Queen Mary is located in the most international and culturally diverse city in the world - London. There was never a dull day in Queen Mary or in London. Learning was not limited to the classroom, Queen Mary makes sure that students also enjoy the sights and sounds that London and the UK has to offer.
Queen Mary ensures that there is holistic development for each student, offering activities that will develop and/or enhance one's skills and interests. Queen Mary also helps students in tackling the next most important step in their lives - finding a job or fast-tracking their career development.
Studying at Queen Mary has opened a lot of opportunities for me. After studying at Queen Mary, I returned to the Philippines to continue my work as an associate in Quisumbing Torres (a member firm of Baker Mckenzie). Subsequently, I was offered a position to be the legal counsel of a multinational company which is among the major players in the pharmaceutical industry in the Philippines.
Indeed, attending Queen Mary was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. My LLM degree has given me an edge among other job applicants and in my career progression. Most importantly, the colleagues and friends I have made during my study has expanded my network and enriched both my professional and personal life.

Chevening Scholar 2013-14, LLM in Law
I earned my Management Economics (2005) and Juris Doctor (2009) degrees from Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines and was admitted to the Philippine Bar in 2010, ranking 10th among the successful takers.
Before studying in Queen Mary, I was working in the Office of the President of the Philippines where my work centred on the development of varying policies, mostly in the legal, economic and developmental spheres. Having this kind of job, I knew that it was incumbent to expand my knowledge of the law and to gain a better understanding of varying experiences of the international community.
Having been granted a Chevening Scholarship, I chose to go to Queen Mary as I was drawn to the wide array of modules being offered. I signed up for Corporate Governance, Terrorism and Human Rights Law, and the Law of the Sea, subject matters which I feel are very relevant to the current Philippine situation. I am also very much impressed with the outstanding credentials of the Queen Mary LLM professors who are always willing to engage in constructive debates in class. The student support system and the facilities of Queen Mary are also very remarkable. Queen Mary has beautiful campuses across London which makes each school day a worthwhile experience. I must also say that the school workload at Queen Mary allows one to have the proper balance of school and 'play' allowing not only intellectual, but also personal, social and cultural growth.
My experience in Queen Mary, and in London in general, will greatly help me when I return to my country to continue working for the government.

Physical learning to blended-learning has been both challenging and stimulating. Even though most of our lectures are online, Queen Mary has given us resources to make sure our blended-learning is still top quality.
As a master’s student, it’s important that I stay connected with my lecturers, especially regarding my research deadlines. Therefore, I appreciate the great lengths that the Queen Mary staff have undertaken, like providing various online events (academic & social) to make sure we are engaged with our university experience.
Blended-learning gives us the flexibility to attend some physical lectures. I feel confident coming in and out of campus as there are Covid-mitigated practices. Lecture halls have spread-out tables and seating to ensure social distancing, and individual study spaces are frequently sanitized. There are also many measures in place around London for your travels. Face masks are mandatory on public transport, and there are hand-sanitizers placed at every station.
Rest assured, that if you do need any support, Queen Mary welcomes you with many facilities to ease your transition.
