I found the course challenging and enjoyable.
Why this course?
Having studied a legal module on my HND course, I was attracted to the law and decided to apply to the LLB course. It was not something I had considered before and staying at Teesside University seemed like the natural choice.
What in particular did you enjoy?
I enjoyed the human aspect of law – the majority of cases studied relate to individuals who are challenging legal principles opposed by another person or a corporation or public body. I was also interested by the variation of topics and areas covered.

What do you think about the facilities on campus?
Campus facilities are really good. Throughout my time at Teesside University, I spent many hours in the library – I found the research facilities excellent for legal text and topics. I also worked in the Students’ Union for the last two years of my LLB course, which meant that I earned money whilst enjoying a social life. The Students’ Union attracted some great bands and I made some good friends as part of the bar team.
