I was aware of King’s College London’s reputation as one of the top humanities and sciences higher educational institutions in the UK and around the world. A friendly manner of lecturers demonstrated during the open days was the last deciding factor for moving King’s to the top of my priority list.

Spending time abroad in Germany as part of the English Law & German Law LLB programme was an additional benefit: the programme itself is excellent. It’s perfectly suited for those who want to be later dealing with business on a transnational basis and to understand continental law. It is comparative law put in practice.

The University of London Halls of Residence, namely Canterbury Hall (part of the Garden Halls), where I stayed in my first year, are situated in the heart of London, at Russell Square, tucked away in the cosy Cartwright Gardens and have all the necessary facilities – plus being University of London halls, you also get to know people from other colleges such as UCL, SOAS, LSE, and Queen Mary in a friendly atmosphere.

Undoubtedly being the capital, London can be pricey at times, However, the costs can be reduced by making most of the student discounts provided by having your student ID handy at all times (discount transport travel, and most shops and bookstore give you some sort of discount) and where one’s schedule permits, undertaking part-time work, of which plenty is available both near the university and in just about every part of the town.

The English Law and German Law LLB is a unique programme. It includes at least one year abroad in Berlin, making it possible to achieve a dual qualification for entry into the legal profession in both England and Germany. Through the close support of my course supervisors and their outstanding teaching, I will be well equipped for a career in the international legal sphere.

Besides the obvious academic advantages of studying at one of the top UK law schools, my experience at King’s has been challenging and rewarding in many other ways, too. From my first day on, when I moved into the Hampstead halls of residence, I have not only enjoyed the opportunity to meet interesting people from all walks of life and gained invaluable friendships, but I also got to explore London’s diverse cultural events and happenings.

KCLSU further offers countless extracurricular activities. Captaining the Ultimate Frisbee team, I love how playing sports is not only about keeping fit - it is about being spirited and representing your university.
