MSc Law, Technology & Innovation

At a crucial time for the field and for human rights both online and offline, it was good to take some time to shore up the academic and legal foundations needed for the road ahead. The Strathclyde MSc reflected that perfectly.

LLB Law with Spanish

I can safely say that studying Spanish has contributed hugely to the opportunities I have had in my life. The skills I have learned from studying and speaking a language have helped me develop a strong work ethic. Speaking a different language has also helped me build deeper connections with people from around the world by briding a gap in times of need.

LLM Human Rights Law

With support from the Strathclyde Law School, I was able to attend the Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot in Geneva. Seeing so many legal practitioners dedicated to doing good in the world convinced me that I could as well. It gave me an insight into other career paths beyond becoming a solicitor and beyond our domestic jurisdiction.

LLM Criminal Justice & Penal Change

The quality of teaching at Strathclyde was excellent, and staff were always willing to answer questions. Furthermore, opportunities for feedback were integrated into the module, so that we could implement feedback at the next available opportunity.
