Reflection by students
“My one year at the University was a true learning experience. The specialised course of LLM in Criminal Justice attracted me towards choosing the School of Law, the University of Nottingham for my higher degree. Not only the University’s RAE rankings but also the reputation of the Academic Staff and high teaching standards were influential in my decision to come to Nottingham. Moreover, the presence of the Human Rights Law Centre was an additional attraction towards my opting for the course at Nottingham.”
- Madhurima, LLM in Criminal Justice
“The reputation of its human rights law programme is what first attracted me to Nottingham. Its one thing to study something like female genital mutilation and read about it and it's another to hear first-hand accounts from my Sudanese classmate whose relatives have undergone the procedure. I also appreciated the freedom to choose a dissertation topic and a very supportive adviser who urged me to go beyond what I originally thought was possible. The contacts that I made at Nottingham will help me pursue my desire to work in the field of women's rights internationally.”
- Tatyana Margolin, LLM in Human Rights Law
“The course explored many of the international regimes which lie at the heart of the environmental laws enacted and currently being developed in my country and thus gave me an international perspective which enhanced the knowledge I had acquired as a result of my background. What I learned on the LLM has been invaluable as it exposed me to extremely interesting and dynamic issues such as climate change and the international regime which is attempting to tackle it and has allowed me to take up career with FIELD, a dynamic international law chambers specialising in environmental issues.”
- Michelle Mohammadd, LLM in Environmental Law
