Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Why study law with the University of London Undergraduate Laws Programme In a world where degrees and degree providers are proliferating the University of London LLB offers the security of an internationally recognised lsquogold standardrsquo established for over 100 years
The University of London was the first university to offer a degree in English law (the LLB) in the 1890s ndash and that degree was made available to International Programmes students from the start The high reputation of our LLB has been maintained because International Programmes students are marked to the same high standards as campus-based students Upon graduation you will join a distinguished group of lawyers solicitors barristers and judges from around the world who have obtained their law degree through the University of London

related field ndash in the police force or social work for example ndash and want to enhance your legal knowledge and professional standing Your career path might lie in the commercial or financial professions where legal qualifications are highly valued not only for specific knowledge of law but also because of the transferable skills that come with the study of law such as mental dexterity and problem-solving abilities You might be a special issue campaigner lobbyist or might want to find out more about how law works and possibly go on to higher academic studies
Many of you might be interested in the Diploma in Law It offers an authoritative stand-alone qualification in key common law courses ndash for those interested in gaining core knowledge of common law ndash and also an alternative way into LLB studies
Whatever your reasons for study we can guarantee you that applying yourself to studies in law will provide a stimulating and challenging path

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Why study law with the University of London Undergraduate Laws Programme In a world where degrees and degree providers are proliferating the University of London LLB offers the security of an internationally recognised lsquogold standardrsquo established for over 100 years
The University of London was the first university to offer a degree in English law (the LLB) in the 1890s ndash and that degree was made available to International Programmes students from the start The high reputation of our LLB has been maintained because International Programmes students are marked to the same high standards as campus-based students Upon graduation you will join a distinguished group of lawyers solicitors barristers and judges from around the world who have obtained their law degree through the University of London
Seeking to become a legal practitioner is not the only reason for studying for a legal qualification You might already be working in a law-
related field ndash in the police force or social work for example ndash and want to enhance your legal knowledge and professional standing Your career path might lie in the commercial or financial professions where legal qualifications are highly valued not only for specific knowledge of law but also because of the transferable skills that come with the study of law such as mental dexterity and problem-solving abilities You might be a special issue campaigner lobbyist or might want to find out more about how law works and possibly go on to higher academic studies
Many of you might be interested in the Diploma in Law It offers an authoritative stand-alone qualification in key common law courses ndash for those interested in gaining core knowledge of common law ndash and also an alternative way into LLB studies
Whatever your reasons for study we can guarantee you that applying yourself to studies in law will provide a stimulating and challenging path
As an International Programmes student you register with the University of London for one of its awards The academic direction of your programme ndash including the syllabus assessment learning resources and where given academic support ndash is the responsibility of a particular College or consortium of Colleges of the University of London known as the lsquoLead Collegersquo Together the six Law Schools of the University act as the Lead College for the undergraduate Laws programmes in this prospectus
When you graduate with a degree diploma or certificate from the University of London you will be sent two documents ndash a final diploma (the parchment you receive on graduation) and a Diploma Supplement
The final diploma indicates that you were registered with the University of London and awarded a University of London degree and gives the name of the Law Schools which conducted the examinations The University of London logo and the Vice-Chancellorrsquos signature are incorporated
The Diploma Supplement describes the nature level and content of the programme you successfully completed and includes a transcript of courses taken and marks achieved as well as the overall classification It also provides further information about the role of the Lead College and method of study

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Why study law with the University of London Undergraduate Laws Programme In a world where degrees and degree providers are proliferating the University of London LLB offers the security of an internationally recognised lsquogold standardrsquo established for over 100 years
The University of London was the first university to offer a degree in English law (the LLB) in the 1890s ndash and that degree was made available to International Programmes students from the start The high reputation of our LLB has been maintained because International Programmes students are marked to the same high standards as campus-based students Upon graduation you will join a distinguished group of lawyers solicitors barristers and judges from around the world who have obtained their law degree through the University of London
Seeking to become a legal practitioner is not the only reason for studying for a legal qualification You might already be working in a law-
related field ndash in the police force or social work for example ndash and want to enhance your legal knowledge and professional standing Your career path might lie in the commercial or financial professions where legal qualifications are highly valued not only for specific knowledge of law but also because of the transferable skills that come with the study of law such as mental dexterity and problem-solving abilities You might be a special issue campaigner lobbyist or might want to find out more about how law works and possibly go on to higher academic studies
Many of you might be interested in the Diploma in Law It offers an authoritative stand-alone qualification in key common law courses ndash for those interested in gaining core knowledge of common law ndash and also an alternative way into LLB studies
Whatever your reasons for study we can guarantee you that applying yourself to studies in law will provide a stimulating and challenging path
As an International Programmes student you register with the University of London for one of its awards The academic direction of your programme ndash including the syllabus assessment learning resources and where given academic support ndash is the responsibility of a particular College or consortium of Colleges of the University of London known as the lsquoLead Collegersquo Together the six Law Schools of the University act as the Lead College for the undergraduate Laws programmes in this prospectus
When you graduate with a degree diploma or certificate from the University of London you will be sent two documents ndash a final diploma (the parchment you receive on graduation) and a Diploma Supplement
The final diploma indicates that you were registered with the University of London and awarded a University of London degree and gives the name of the Law Schools which conducted the examinations The University of London logo and the Vice-Chancellorrsquos signature are incorporated
The Diploma Supplement describes the nature level and content of the programme you successfully completed and includes a transcript of courses taken and marks achieved as well as the overall classification It also provides further information about the role of the Lead College and method of study

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Why study law with the University of London Undergraduate Laws Programme In a world where degrees and degree providers are proliferating the University of London LLB offers the security of an internationally recognised lsquogold standardrsquo established for over 100 years
The University of London was the first university to offer a degree in English law (the LLB) in the 1890s ndash and that degree was made available to International Programmes students from the start The high reputation of our LLB has been maintained because International Programmes students are marked to the same high standards as campus-based students Upon graduation you will join a distinguished group of lawyers solicitors barristers and judges from around the world who have obtained their law degree through the University of London
Seeking to become a legal practitioner is not the only reason for studying for a legal qualification You might already be working in a law-
related field ndash in the police force or social work for example ndash and want to enhance your legal knowledge and professional standing Your career path might lie in the commercial or financial professions where legal qualifications are highly valued not only for specific knowledge of law but also because of the transferable skills that come with the study of law such as mental dexterity and problem-solving abilities You might be a special issue campaigner lobbyist or might want to find out more about how law works and possibly go on to higher academic studies
Many of you might be interested in the Diploma in Law It offers an authoritative stand-alone qualification in key common law courses ndash for those interested in gaining core knowledge of common law ndash and also an alternative way into LLB studies
Whatever your reasons for study we can guarantee you that applying yourself to studies in law will provide a stimulating and challenging path

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Why study law with the University of London Undergraduate Laws Programme In a world where degrees and degree providers are proliferating the University of London LLB offers the security of an internationally recognised lsquogold standardrsquo established for over 100 years
The University of London was the first university to offer a degree in English law (the LLB) in the 1890s ndash and that degree was made available to International Programmes students from the start The high reputation of our LLB has been maintained because International Programmes students are marked to the same high standards as campus-based students Upon graduation you will join a distinguished group of lawyers solicitors barristers and judges from around the world who have obtained their law degree through the University of London
Seeking to become a legal practitioner is not the only reason for studying for a legal qualification You might already be working in a law-
related field ndash in the police force or social work for example ndash and want to enhance your legal knowledge and professional standing Your career path might lie in the commercial or financial professions where legal qualifications are highly valued not only for specific knowledge of law but also because of the transferable skills that come with the study of law such as mental dexterity and problem-solving abilities You might be a special issue campaigner lobbyist or might want to find out more about how law works and possibly go on to higher academic studies
Many of you might be interested in the Diploma in Law It offers an authoritative stand-alone qualification in key common law courses ndash for those interested in gaining core knowledge of common law ndash and also an alternative way into LLB studies
Whatever your reasons for study we can guarantee you that applying yourself to studies in law will provide a stimulating and challenging path
As an International Programmes student you register with the University of London for one of its awards The academic direction of your programme ndash including the syllabus assessment learning resources and where given academic support ndash is the responsibility of a particular College or consortium of Colleges of the University of London known as the lsquoLead Collegersquo Together the six Law Schools of the University act as the Lead College for the undergraduate Laws programmes in this prospectus
When you graduate with a degree diploma or certificate from the University of London you will be sent two documents ndash a final diploma (the parchment you receive on graduation) and a Diploma Supplement
The final diploma indicates that you were registered with the University of London and awarded a University of London degree and gives the name of the Law Schools which conducted the examinations The University of London logo and the Vice-Chancellorrsquos signature are incorporated
The Diploma Supplement describes the nature level and content of the programme you successfully completed and includes a transcript of courses taken and marks achieved as well as the overall classification It also provides further information about the role of the Lead College and method of study
A welcome from the Undergraduate Laws Programme team

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo
Narendra is Head of Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago

Alexey Pashinskiy LLB RussialsquoHaving a University of London degree helped me to pursue a career in an international law firm Many employers were impressed with my CV Since the end of 2011 Irsquove been working with Squire Sanders LLP
I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo
Narendra is Head of Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago

Alexey Pashinskiy LLB RussialsquoHaving a University of London degree helped me to pursue a career in an international law firm Many employers were impressed with my CV Since the end of 2011 Irsquove been working with Squire Sanders LLP
I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Narendra Lalbeharry LLB Trinidad and TobagolsquoThe University of London sets a high standard not only in the academic qualification and the worldwide recognition of the LLB programme but also for the administration and support facilities available to its students across the globe
The degree is challenging in terms of workload expectations requirements and marking but worth the effort A main requirement of the LLB is the ability to develop research and analysis skills These skills have served me well to date and have made me very effective in performing my present roles as Head of
Legal at the Equal Opportunity Commission of Trinidad and Tobago and a Senior Lecturer at the College of Legal Studies
In the future I hope to be able to build a strong practice as a human rights Attorney and better improve the state of public law and discrimination law in Trinidad and Tobago
The worldwide recognition of a University of London LLB degree is certainly an asset to any student graduating with this qualificationrsquo

Alexey Pashinskiy LLB RussialsquoHaving a University of London degree helped me to pursue a career in an international law firm Many employers were impressed with my CV Since the end of 2011 Irsquove been working with Squire Sanders LLP
I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

I would highly recommend the programme as it opens up doors towards higher education such as the BPTC It is intellectually
demanding and encourages students to be open-minded in their approach towards the law The wealth of optional subjects to choose from gives satisfaction to those with the most voracious of intellectual appetites The University of London helps you go as far as you want to without ever leaving homerdquo

SuccessionThe aim of this course is to explore in detail what happens to a personrsquos property when they die especially how a valid will is made how it can be challenged how it is administered and what happens when a person dies without leaving a valid will

Angelique Pouponneau LLB Seychelles
lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Alexey Pashinskiy LLB RussialsquoHaving a University of London degree helped me to pursue a career in an international law firm Many employers were impressed with my CV Since the end of 2011 Irsquove been working with Squire Sanders LLP
I would recommend the University of London LLB since it gives you an advantage in pursuing a legal or academic career It certainly gives you an
opportunity to develop such skills as analytical and critical thinking legal writing and independent research The studying process is challenging but the reward is worth it The International Programmes provided a great chance to obtain an English law degree while studying in your home country but at the same time gaining the same experience and evaluation during the studying processrsquo
Alexey studied at the Russian Academy of Justice in Moscow and now works for international law firm Squire Sanders LLP Read a profile on Alexey in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyalexey-pashinskiy

Notes
wwwlondoninternationalacukllb 13
Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

We recognise that students value choice in how when and where they study Some prefer the flexibility of being able to study independently at their own pace using our study materials Others prefer the benefits of face-to-face teaching and classroom support and choose to pay for additional educational support at a local independent institution We currently work with a growing network of 50-plus independent teaching institutions worldwide that provide tuition support for our students We refer to these institutions as recognised centres and there are two categories Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the quality of teaching support and administration Registered Centres have demonstrated acceptable standards for the purpose of supporting International Programmes students in preparing for examinations
The Diploma in Law may be studied either full time or part time Students must have registered through and be studying at a teaching institution that has been recognised for teaching this Diploma by the University of London In the following list institutions that are recognised for teaching the Diplomas are marked

Notes

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Notes

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

We recognise that students value choice in how when and where they study Some prefer the flexibility of being able to study independently at their own pace using our study materials Others prefer the benefits of face-to-face teaching and classroom support and choose to pay for additional educational support at a local independent institution We currently work with a growing network of 50-plus independent teaching institutions worldwide that provide tuition support for our students We refer to these institutions as recognised centres and there are two categories Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the quality of teaching support and administration Registered Centres have demonstrated acceptable standards for the purpose of supporting International Programmes students in preparing for examinations
The Diploma in Law may be studied either full time or part time Students must have registered through and be studying at a teaching institution that has been recognised for teaching this Diploma by the University of London In the following list institutions that are recognised for teaching the Diplomas are marked

Notes

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

Notes

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence

Eeshah Khalid LLB PakistanlsquoQuality education was always a priority and the University of London International Programmes ensured that I wouldnrsquot need to compromise on that It was also a convenient option as I was going to get an international degree from a renowned university without having to leave home
What I liked best was the flexibility the programme offered me in terms of my study pattern I knew I had to be prepared for my exam at the end of the session but throughout the year I
had the luxury of choosing which subject areas to concentrate on at what times This really helped me balance my studies and personal life as well
The study guides are brilliant they should be the focus of your studies Supplementing them with notes from textbooks is important of course but I feel itrsquos essential to know everything thatrsquos there in the subject guide Thatrsquos whatrsquos actually relevant I think itrsquos also a great idea to go through all of the examiner reports that are available
at least a couple of times The ability to sift
through large amounts of information and developing arguments systematically are both skills that will definitely help me as a lawyer in the future
I would definitely recommend the University of London International Programmes It enables you to receive an international degree which is recognised worldwide even if you cannot or do not want to go abroad for further studies The course has been designed and explained
so well that it can easily be studied independently The fact that itrsquos challenging gives you a great sense of achievement when you actually pass the examsrsquo
Eeshah studied at SZABIST in Karachi She achieved a First Class degree in 2013 outperforming more than 2000 International Programmes students worldwide to achieve the top mark for the LLB Read a QampA with Eeshah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyeeshah-khalid

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

ldquo The University of London LLB is a well-recognised degree at an affordable price tag Its reputation and versatility prompted me to select it as my stepping stone to a successful legal career Employers in Malaysia acknowledge its value very much too Doing the LLB with Brickfields Asia College (BAC) is perhaps the best choice I made
The LLB taught me not to assume or accept any given facts without analysing it first Equipped with this skill it enables me to tackle problems presented to me in various perspectives and not to be too judgmental
I strongly believe that success should not be measured solely on achievements but how you can help others with your abilities It would be ideal if I can be a successful lawyer and am able to help those in need regardless of their background with my knowledge and skillsrdquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

18 Undergraduate study in Laws
Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Farah Nusrat LLB BangladeshlsquoFascination for law was always within me as my great uncle on my fatherrsquos side the late Mr Justice B A Siddique held the honourable position of Chief Justice of East Pakistan High Court during the late 1960s I heard numerous success stories of my great uncle since childhood and was overwhelmed to learn about his great stature and dignity in society and in the legal field My passion for a legal career increased even more with time when I realized that this profession is one of the most effective ways to bring social change and reform social injustice by working within the legal system
I chose to study through the International Programmes mainly because it offers foreign students the opportunity to study law from a renowned institution while staying in their home country I didnrsquot want to leave my family or my country to pursue undergraduate studies abroad and even my parents thought that I was not mature enough to handle things on my own in a foreign country So the International Programmes provided a golden opportunity to fulfill my dreams of being a part of an institution which has a worldwide reputation for excellence
While staying in my comfort zone it has helped me to pass my LLB Honours not only with a 21 but also being awarded a prize by the University of London International Programmes for achieving the third highest mark in Bangladesh in 2007rsquo
Farah works for a law firm in Bangladesh and has enrolled as an Advocate of the Bangladesh Bar Council Read a QampA with Farah in our online magazine London Connection httpbitlyfarah-nusrat

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

We recognise that students value choice in how when and where they study Some prefer the flexibility of being able to study independently at their own pace using our study materials Others prefer the benefits of face-to-face teaching and classroom support and choose to pay for additional educational support at a local independent institution We currently work with a growing network of 50-plus independent teaching institutions worldwide that provide tuition support for our students We refer to these institutions as recognised centres and there are two categories Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the quality of teaching support and administration Registered Centres have demonstrated acceptable standards for the purpose of supporting International Programmes students in preparing for examinations
The Diploma in Law may be studied either full time or part time Students must have registered through and be studying at a teaching institution that has been recognised for teaching this Diploma by the University of London In the following list institutions that are recognised for teaching the Diplomas are marked

lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Course outlines
ldquo The University of London International Programmes offers a world of convenience to those who wish to study in their own country It allowed me to obtain an internationally recognised degree while remaining in Pakistan
I would highly recommend the programme as it opens up doors towards higher education such as the BPTC It is intellectually
demanding and encourages students to be open-minded in their approach towards the law The wealth of optional subjects to choose from gives satisfaction to those with the most voracious of intellectual appetites The University of London helps you go as far as you want to without ever leaving homerdquo

SuccessionThe aim of this course is to explore in detail what happens to a personrsquos property when they die especially how a valid will is made how it can be challenged how it is administered and what happens when a person dies without leaving a valid will

Angelique Pouponneau LLB Seychelles
lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

Angelique Pouponneau LLB Seychelles
lsquoLaw is both interesting and empowering It is also a means of using knowledge to help people who cannot represent themselves
The skills I acquired through this LLB continue to prove helpful two years since graduation It has taught me to be thorough and meticulous I have developed research skills with both books and the online library I am able to work under pressure and whilst most students at the Bar struggle writing an opinion for three hours it was not something I struggled with The LLB is not an easy degree so it has taught me hard work perseverance and determination leads to success
I was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincolnrsquos Inn in October 2013 It was a great feeling to be elevated to the position of barrister It felt like the years of hard work were all worth it Like the University of London creates a global family being called to the Bar feels like being part of a legal familyrsquo

We recognise that students value choice in how when and where they study Some prefer the flexibility of being able to study independently at their own pace using our study materials Others prefer the benefits of face-to-face teaching and classroom support and choose to pay for additional educational support at a local independent institution We currently work with a growing network of 50-plus independent teaching institutions worldwide that provide tuition support for our students We refer to these institutions as recognised centres and there are two categories Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the quality of teaching support and administration Registered Centres have demonstrated acceptable standards for the purpose of supporting International Programmes students in preparing for examinations

We recognise that students value choice in how when and where they study Some prefer the flexibility of being able to study independently at their own pace using our study materials Others prefer the benefits of face-to-face teaching and classroom support and choose to pay for additional educational support at a local independent institution We currently work with a growing network of 50-plus independent teaching institutions worldwide that provide tuition support for our students We refer to these institutions as recognised centres and there are two categories Affiliate Centres have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the quality of teaching support and administration Registered Centres have demonstrated acceptable standards for the purpose of supporting International Programmes students in preparing for examinations
The Diploma in Law may be studied either full time or part time Students must have registered through and be studying at a teaching institution that has been recognised for teaching this Diploma by the University of London In the following list institutions that are recognised for teaching the Diplomas are marked
