Why did you choose to participate in SULaw Summer programme 2022?

It was an exciting opportunity to spend my winter holiday getting ahead in my own studies, learning about fascinating topics not available at my home university, and meeting people from across the globe.

Which course(s) did you choose and why did you choose them?

I chose "International Arbitration" as well as "The Role of Law in International Politics." These courses stood out to me as they would provide me with insight into the field of international law which I am passionate about learning more about.

What are your tips and tricks to make the best of the course(s) and your stay at SULaw?

Get involved! It can be intimidating to speak up in a Zoom-room full of strangers but certainly my most rewarding experiences came out of having an open discussion with students from around the world.

Why should other students choose to study our Summer programme?

The way the course enabled me to meet and conversate with students from around the world made the Summer Programme an experience unlike any other I've had at university.
