Can you share a highlight of your time at University or a quote about your time here with us:
My time at The University of Liverpool was a life-changing experience. I am especially grateful to the friendly staff around the University’s campus who where always helpful and willing to answer every enquiry. Moreover, it was a great pleasure to attend every lecture and learn about the law from professors that were without a doubt among the most prominent leaders in their field. I also enjoyed the many extracurricular activities organised by the School of Law and Social Science which allowed me to obtain H.E.A.R award, and meet professionals working in the field I aspire to build a career to. Nonetheless, if I have to choose a highlight experience of my one-year academic journey, it will be the opportunity I had to meet many remarkable people and make forever-lasting friendships.
What are your next steps and plans for the future?
I am currently working as a part-time Legal Researcher and Community Outreach Officer in an international organisation. My next step is to find a full-time job. I am also considering the possibility of doing a PhD.
