This course appealed to me because I was always very interested in news and current affairs. I wanted to advance my writing and broadcast skills so that I could tell stories in a creative and effective manor. I was also excited about the opportunity to study and work abroad during Third Year.

Law Plus in UL is one of few legal courses where a student can benefit from the study of an additional humanities module of their choice, but also have achieved the requisite credits to sit the New York bar exam.

I have always been interested in current affairs, geopolitics, and how people are kept informed when it comes to diplomacy etc. As a result, I had a natural leaning towards journalism, as I felt it would be a career that combined both my love for history and storytelling.
