Student Profiles

Bukola Oluwa

I graduated from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. When considering my options for a postgraduate programme, I needed a school that transcended the pages of its prospectus and that would challenge me academically as well as giving me the opportunity to be socially active.

Tuo Zhao

My dream is to become a lawyer specialising in company law. I wanted to qualify in London first, and then acquire some work experience before moving on to Hong Kong or mainland China.

Kavisha Sharma

My experience in the LLM has been nothing short of excellent. The academic rigour and intellectual challenge that the LLM necessitates has shown me what I am capable of and inspired me to continue living up to my potential.

Nandini Bajaj

The LSE LLM offered me exactly what I was looking for – a course that expanded my understanding of the challenges facing the world today, friendships with people from around the world, and being in the centre of the action in London.
