What influenced your decision to study at Queen Mary?

Without a doubt, QMUL is a leading university in law, and its reputation has been constantly increasing over the years. By studying an LLM in Public International Law at QMUL, I had the chance to opt for modules which are both within my focus areas and other fields of law.

I would definitely recommend this course for those who want to work in international organisations or for foreign services in their countries since this programme does not only offer modules on conventional topics like “The Law of Treaties”, “Use of Force in International Law” but also on new hot topics such as “International Environmental Law”, “Climate Change Law”, “Cybercrime”, “AI, Human Rights and Migration”.

How did you find the teaching and learning?

Moreover, teaching and learning are student-centric. I do not only obtain theoretical knowledge but I also get practical knowledge as the professors are always very kind to share their work experiences. By studying this LLM at QMUL, I have got the opportunity to meet leading professors from other parts of the world, who gave us lectures as visiting lecturers. For instance, during “The Law of Treaties” class, Prof. Olufemi Elias, who has been in service at the UN for a long time, gave us a lecture on customary international law, which was very interesting.

On top of that, all my professors were always available and responsive whenever I needed them. An important point to share is that QMUL always gave us support in legal writing. Like a fish out of water, I did not know how to adapt myself to the educational and legal system in the UK. At that point, QMUL supported us in assessment writing.

What are the accommodation facilities like?

Although QMUL provides accommodation facilities for its students, I decided to stay in a private hall of residence, which is Chapter King’s Cross as from there I can easily go to the British Library and IALS Library, of which QMUL LLM students are automatically a member.

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

I advise future students to benefit from all opportunities provided by QMUL and enjoy living in London at the same time.

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).
