"I have really enjoyed my time at the University of Glasgow. My seminars were conducted fairly informally in small study groups and were interactive. The lecturers and administrative staff have been friendly and very supportive throughout the course. Apart from studies, it has been great fun making friends with students from all over the world. Glasgow is a vibrant city and I highly recommend it if you are into live music, theatre or shopping." Richard Balenzi, Rwanda (2011/2012)
"I am a current student at the University of Glasgow studying for a Masters degree in Corporate and Financial Law. I am very pleased with the fact that I was able to come to this University to study and experience its unique School of Law, student body, library and other facilities. I have always sought to study Corporate Law and the University of Glasgow is one of the few universities in the UK that offers Corporate and Financial Law.
I had a serious accident in November 2011 and the School of Law was so wonderful and caring. They were there for me throughout that unfortunate incident and they gave me all the support and love I needed at that time especially without family in Glasgow. They encouraged me and gave me strength to continue my studies, because I thought I would not be able to after the accident. When I compare the attitude of the staff, classmates and friends I see a classic replica of not only a learning environment but one big family. At the School of Law, the staff are so helpful, simple and clear in explaining things and they are always ready and more than willing to help students at any time. With the help of these tutors, I have been able to improve my research and writing skills. I am so happy with my classmates and I appreciate them so much. I was also able to make new friends from different countries, backgrounds, cultures and languages. It has been an interactive period and I have learnt a lot from these friends and the University at large, on a whole it has been an exciting period for me. Living in student accommodation is one of the best things that ever happened to me during my stay." Margaret Kamara, Sierra Leone (2011/2012)
"Last year I was awarded a scholarship by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (‘Bolashak’), I chose the University of Glasgow without hesitation as my future place of study because for a successful career in the XXI century every modern person needs world-class education. Due to the international scholarship ‘Bolashak’ many young people in my country are studying at the most famous universities in the world and one of them is the University of Glasgow. The law degree, known as the LLM in Corporate and Financial Law which is offered at the University of Glasgow encouraged me to study my LLM at this one of the oldest universities in the UK. The LLM programme offered by the University of Glasgow is an exciting and challenging opportunity to gain a wide experience of studying at an international level where you share your knowledge with other international students. Studying at the University under an international environment has helped my professional growth and advanced my jurisprudence skills, thereby providing me with leadership skills so that upon returning to Kazakhstan after my studies I will be able to make a contribution to the prosperity of my country." Rinat Nurmaganbet, Kazakhstan (2011/2012)

Secondly, the lecturer has broad knowledge and experience in financial practice. Lastly, the access to electronic resources such as westlaw, PLC, heinonline is very useful.

“Living in one of the biggest UK cities that has an excellent quality of life in terms of surroundings, expenses and transportation is an excellent advantage. Glasgow is rich in history, art and culture but also a thriving, cosmopolitan city with a fantastic nightlife. It'd be difficult for anyone to live here and be unsatisfied! The experience of living in Glasgow has far surpassed my original expectations.” Daniele Carnevali, Italy (2009/2010)
