Our students
Robyn Conlan
LLM Human Rights Law
The main challenge for me was the jump between undergraduate and postgraduate workload. However, I believe if you remain organised from the beginning, the workload is completely manageable. Also, when you are studying an area of law you are interested in, it is half the battle!
Tinotenda Jakazi
LLM International Commercial Law
The course tackles relevant contemporary issues in international commerce and fosters the development of views and ideas within a diverse, global learning context. As a result of studying the course I have added broader international perspectives, as well as global cultural and contextual understanding to my skills as a commercial lawyer.
Tania Nascimento
LLM Criminal Justice & Penal Change
The LLM in Criminal Justice and Penal Change helped me explore my interests further. I was pleasantly surprised that the course covered such a range of topics, including Criminal Justice & Penal Decision-Making, Childhood & Crime, Surveillance, Technology & Control, and Restorative Justice.
