Student Testimonials

“Studying a LLM in International Business Law at Queen’s has opened up fantastic new experiences, including an internship, the London Law Tour and a CMI Project Management and Leadership qualification, which was offered by the Graduate School. Coming from a non-law background, I have received fantastic support from all lecturers, tutors and staff involved. I am delighted to say that while I was stepping out of my comfort zone I have learned a lot about myself and my capabilities. All this has confirmed my decision to pursue a career in law.” Mareike Erika Zackariat
