Law LLB – 2024
The lecturers are so passionate about what they teach that it genuinely makes you want to absorb everything they say.
Why did you choose the University of Westminster?
I chose the University of Westminster because it offered the exact modules I was passionate about. The course structure allowed me to explore key areas of law that aligned with my interests and career goals.
How has your experience been studying in London?
Studying in London has been an invaluable experience. The city’s energy and diversity have pushed me to be more ambitious and hardworking. Being surrounded by driven people has motivated me to set higher goals and continuously strive for more.
What have you particularly enjoyed about your course?
One of the best aspects of studying Law has been the opportunity to explore specialised modules in my final year. These allowed me to dive deeper into topics I was most interested in. Studying law has also shaped the way I think - it’s made me more analytical, aware, and strategic in how I approach challenges. It has broadened my perspective on the world, showing me how everything is interconnected.
How have you found academic support as part of your studies?
The academic support has been incredibly helpful. As an undergraduate student, you inevitably face challenges, but knowing that support is available makes a huge difference. Whether it’s guidance from lecturers, study resources, or one-to-one advice, I’ve always felt that help was there when I needed it.
Are there any stand-out facilities associated with your course?
The Bar Society has been a highlight for me. It’s a great way to connect with like-minded students, gain insights into the legal profession, and build valuable skills for the future.
Tell us about your experience of using the University Careers and Employability Service.
Yes, I’ve used the Careers and Employability Service, and it’s been really beneficial. They’ve helped me refine my soft skills, which has been useful for networking and professional development.
Tell us about any activities that you have undertaken outside of your course.
Outside of my studies, I’ve been actively involved in the Bar Society, which has been a fantastic experience. Being part of the Black History Year Create (BHYC) programme was another major highlight - it gave me the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. and explore the working culture there, which was truly eye-opening. I also prioritise health and fitness, maintaining a regular gym schedule and playing basketball.
What would your advice be to someone considering studying at Westminster?
Make the most of every opportunity from day one. Some experiences, internships, and programmes are only available in your first or second year, so don’t wait to get involved. Join societies, attend events, and step out of your comfort zone - you’ll build confidence, meet incredible people, and gain experiences that will shape your future.
