Inna Poliakova, Ukraine - LL.M. in Computer and Communications Law

My name is Inna Poliakova and I am proud to be a graduate of Queen Mary University of London. I graduated with Master of Law degree (LL.M. in Computer and Communications Law) in 2015. If you are about to apply for the degree program, Queen Mary University of London will be a strong fit. Being a part of both the University of London and prestigious Russell Group, QMUL delivers the profound knowledge and expertise. What’s more, the education process is arranged in such a way as to develop key skills, such as research, analysis, critical thinking etc. I can say with confidence that the professors here are really outstanding and always willing to help. The library is impressive and innovative, so you will be delighted by the use of technology and massive scale of resources. While studying at QMUL I was writing my own book on the application of IT law for the Ukrainian business. Library resources and access to e-learning database platforms assisted me greatly in my task. 

In addition, Students’ Union provides lots of entertainment, cultural, scientific and sport activities. The Ukrainian community at the University is constantly expanding so you will not feel far from home. While studying, I established Ukrainian Business Society within Student Union jointly with other Ukrainian students. During study year we arranged meetings with aspiring professionals and had lots of fun organizing Ukrainian events. So, I am sure you will find studying both enjoyable and exciting.
London is the best destination for culture lovers. The Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) is located in the city centre, a perfect location. It’s very well organized and I liked the way the classes have been given, in small groups. This gave me the opportunity to get to know my fellow students well.
After graduation, you are very welcome to join QMUL Ukrainian Alumni Club. The Club has recently joined the ‘Professional Government’ initiative in Ukraine and is actively involved in its activities. We are the generation which can change our country so it is a good chance for you to make an impact for its further development!
Taking LL.M. program at QMUL was an interesting part of my life and I strongly recommend you to explore this opportunity.

Taras Kulbaba, Ukraine - LLM in Intellectual Property Law

Prior to entering the LLM programme at Queen Mary, University of London, I had graduated from the Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University and had received a Master's degree in International Private Law with honours. During the last year of my master's programme in Ukraine, I commenced practising law with one of the leading Ukrainian law firms. With the intent to obtain more specialised education in the area of Intellectual Property Law, I applied to a number of UK law schools, including Queen Mary.

Finally, I chose Queen Mary among all the offers I had received, as the School of Law at Queen Mary was of the highest quality. Some of these IP courses are exclusively provided by Queen Mary only. Moreover, most of the IP academic staff are world-known specialists in their respective areas.

By participating in numerous inter-university projects and networks, Queen Mary provides its students with the possibility to participate in interesting events all year round.

I really enjoyed the LLM in Intellectual Property Law programme and have drawn from it as much as I could by auditing a number of courses in addition to those I took exams in.

After completion of the LLM course with Queen Mary, I joined PETOSEVIC providing services in the area of Intellectual Property in more than 30 jurisdictions. I have a position as an Associate in the Belgian office in Brussels.

Olga Aleksandrova, Ukraine - LLM in International Business Law

After I qualified as a Solicitor in Ukraine, studying LLM in International Business Law at Queen Mary, University of London was one of the best decisions I have ever made. A very practical aspect of the Master’s degree broadened my knowledge and application of the law, as well as allowed me to establish exclusive business contacts across the globe.

High quality of academic teaching, personalised approach and invaluable experience of writing a Master Thesis under a direct supervision of the world-known Professors Stavros Brekoulakis and Loukas Mistelis made my LLM year inestimable. Already within a short period of time after graduating I was able to work as an English Solicitor in one of the top London Mayfair law firms.
