Law Masters Students

I gained an LLM degree in International Business Law in 2014. It was the most challenging and beneficial course I have ever completed.

I returned to my home country, Kurdistan in Iraq. I started working as legal advisor and coordinator in an international organisation. I worked on the most challenging problems in Iraq and Kurdistan. I am strengthening the role of the law in combating the most violations against human right. I advocate to Iraq and IKR Parliament to enact special laws to prohibit torture in prisons.

I provide legal help to Iraqi officials on enforcement of combating trafficking people.

It is one of the most life-challenging, but memorable, moments I have had. I achieved a master degree of law (LLM International Business Law in 2013) from Newcastle.

I am now a first-year PhD law student. I specialise in copyright law and am fully funded by The University of Nottingham.

A committee considered my funding application. An emphasis was me having a Master's, including dissertation and overall score.

I would never have come this far had Newcastle not given me such an opportunity. I experienced the unforgettable warm hospitality from the Toon. I also had a fascinating and inspiring learning environment in the University throughout.

Despite all the interesting modules, it was the Intellectual Property Module that intrigued. My PhD's ‘The Statutory Ground of Public Interest Defence in International Copyright Regime’.

As far as a prospective career, I am motivated to be in an area of legal academia or lawyers in the UK.

I graduated in December 2013 with a distinction in LLM International Business Law.

No later than a month after graduation I landed a job with ZALORA. It's leading company in South Asia for e-commerce. It's Asia's fastest growing online fashion destination.

I am currently leading the legal department for the Malaysian region.

I am from Astana, Kazakhstan. I graduated from Newcastle with a Master's in International Legal Studies in 2012.

I am grateful for the great education at Newcastle Law School.

Education is the key to a career. The School gave me an amazing opportunity to expand my knowledge of international law.

Now, I work at the Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. I am an expert on legal issues there.

My work relates to:

• drafting laws
• approval of the draft resolutions and presidential decree with interested state bodies
• submission of draft legislative acts for adoption to the Government
• legal expertise of laws
• international agreements

I am happy that I use the knowledge gained from the law school and apply it to my work.

I graduated from Newcastle Law School in 2011 with a degree in LL.M in International Commercial Law. Shortly after my graduation, I started working with Swinburne University. I was a lecturer at its branch campus in Malaysia.

Since then, I have taught undergraduates in the business school:

• international commercial law
• company law
• financial law

I have started to teach corporate governance and sustainability under the MBA program. I have been coordinating work for postgraduate courses offered by the business school.

My training at Newcastle has given me the necessary skills and knowledge to secure a job in academia.

It also allows me to handle any assignments in an effective and efficient manner.

I appreciate what I have learnt from Newcastle Law School. It allows me to choose a career path that I enjoy.

The memories, friendships and guidance from people in the School will stay with me.
