"I was fortunate to be given a scholarship to study on the combined programme which, together with a grant, made the study possible. At the time I thought I may specialise in EU law and the programme at Leeds would give me an additional qualification."

"My proudest achievement to date would have to be being accepted on a Scholarship Scheme to work at the magic circle law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus. Working amongst trainee solicitors in a top 5 law firm in the country albeit overwhelming, was still extraordinary."

"The Law School has been amazing. They have been fully supportive of me being a mother and I've met some great friends. I did not need to be worried about fitting in, because the friends I have met have all admired me for coming back into education and being a mother."

"I also cannot overemphasise the amount of support that is available to all students. While in my third year, I decided to go volunteering in the US during the summer of my graduation and the Law school did not just verbally encourage me, they supported me financially too."

"I was given the opportunity to be paired with a mentor through the Law School’s Professional Mentor Scheme. I was extremely nervous attending my first networking event but the tutors and mentors made me feel so comfortable and I finally had some real insight into the profession."
