Southampton offers you endless opportunities to develop as a person outside the classroom. I felt that Southampton Law School actually “sees” me. University staff, lecturers, students and societies really want you to get involved, to know you, and help you the best they can.

“The part I enjoyed most was the field trip to Kenya. Seeing the animals was of course incredible, but the part that stuck with me was meeting the local communities and learning about their relationship with nature, the struggles they face, and how they are combatting human-wildlife conflict. It completely changed my outlook on conservation and was a very important experience.

I also enjoyed the research phase of the course – having the freedom to explore a subject that was of great interest to me, and really delve in deep was incredibly rewarding and developed many useful skills that I have taken into my career.”

The University provides an environment for growth, broad knowledge and a boost of confidence. Each lecture has pushed me mentally, and that has allowed me to develop skills such as critical thinking and decision making.

“The MBA programme has international recognition and both the range of lecturers and course content were exactly what I was looking for. The Maastrict trip to learn about cross cultural intricacies within business was definitely a highlight.”
