Huixin Xu LLM Maritime Law, 2017
Southampton is a brilliant choice for your study and life. It can provide almost everything needed, nice staff, great facilities, delicious cuisines and wonderful entertainment as well.
As there is cooperation between the University of Southampton and the Shanghai Maritime University, I took part in the study abroad programme. On the other hand, the high reputation of Southampton, especially in Maritime Law has also been taken into account.
I have made a lot of new friends from all over the world, which enables me to learn more about different cultures. It is also a great fun to study with these smart guys.
The career center provides some sessions to support my future employment. I have learned how to write a fantastic CV and cover letter, which may be of great value in job hunting.
I participated in and won the annual LLM Challenge, which involved teamwork, creativity and energy. I think it is a great opportunity to test what you have learned and also a challenge to your mode of thinking.
As an interational student, I found it a tough task to study English law. However, I enjoy sorting out problems by myself or with a great teamwork with my friends. Professors in the Law School are always friendly and kind to give guide when I am confused.
I have a job as a Chinese student ambassador in the Law School to help those students who come from China in both study and their lives in Soton. It enhanced my communication skills and won me many friends.
Southampton is a brilliant choice for your study and life. It can provide almost everything needed, nice staff, great facilities, delicious cuisines and wonderful entertainment as well.
My advice is to fully take advantage of information shared on the website of the Southampton. Joining in some groups on the Facebook can be also a good chance to learn more about the uni life and the city. Wish you all a great experience in Soton!
