Hear from our graduates
Other than learning valuable information in matters related to both, international law and business and financial law, I acquired skills in redaction, research, and referencing.
All this while receiving the continuous support of my professors, programme leader, and various departments at UEL. Due to the responsiveness and professionalism of everyone in the law department, COVID did not affect the quality of learning, and I received a lot more than I expected.”
Joelle Nassif
LLM Graduate
I enrolled in the LLM Transitional Justice and Conflict course in Sept 2020. I am happy with the quality of instructors I have come across in this programme. Instead of traditional test assessment, we were required to write essays and case studies and/or projects to be submitted at the end of the semester. I particularly enjoyed writing about issues and topics that were interesting to me. The instructors gave me helpful feedback during the semester. I had the opportunity to serve as a course rep and also to volunteer for the Centre of Human Rights in Conflict podcast. I feel prepared to enter the academic and professional world of transitional justice and conflict.’’
