Elshareef Ali Mohammed is an international human rights lawyer who worked on one of the most significant global cases of 2014. He graduated from the School of Law with a LLM in International Human Rights in 2013.
The case of Meriam Ibrahim in Sudan created a global media storm in May after she was sentenced to death for apostasy and sexual immorality for marrying a Christian man. Elshareef was part of the legal team who successfully secured her freedom.
His contribution to international human rights since graduating has since been commended with an Executive Dean's Award.
I have always been interested in the subject of International Human Rights. However, it was very spur of the moment in terms of me finding out about this course and coming to study at Birmingham City University. My mother happened to see an advert in a newspaper announcing that a representative from Birmingham City University would be present at a British Council Fair in my hometown of Chennai, India.
My advice would be that you need to be really, really committed on the LLM as it is an intensive course. It can be quite intimidating at first but if you hang in there, apply yourself and work very hard it will be worth all the effort you put in. There’s no point in doing an LLM for the sake of it – you really need to know what you want to get out of it to make the experience worthwhile.
