Law Course Ambassador

I have always had a flare for politics and government, administration and people. Having a BSc Political Science and an MA International Relations seemed like a good platform to provide a better understanding of the workings of government, administration and current global issues such as economic and human security.

I chose to study at Middlesex University due to its distinguished and top-notch tutors, taught programs, state of the art facilities, and multi-cultural setting and student body. But most especially for the chance to go on placement/exchange.

I loved the lectures, especially the ones on human security and the various forms of security as well as on foreign policy. The coursework’s were great, and I especially loved the fact that I was able to go on work placement in Switzerland.

I love the fact that MDX has a multi-cultural setting and worldwide mixture within its world leading staff and student body along with great research prospects.

I love the fact that London is a multi-cultural city with loads of opportunities for connection with academics and professional in different fields.

I intend to work in higher education for a bit as a lecturer and then go into working for international organisations such as the UN; representing countries and in the international system as a diplomat.

A difficult one but I would say Dr. Peter Hough as he addressed the new security and human security succinctly during my time as an MA student.

Middlesex is a great platform for your vision. Once you have made up your mind, seize every opportunity provided by Middlesex.

• Monday is usually packed with study, research, drafting and Judo practice. I wake up as early as 7am as I live near to campus. I get myself ready and head to the researcher's room where I begin my study for the day. With a few breaks here and there to release tension and I sometimes have meetings with my supervisors concerning my research. By 5pm, a few of us from the Salem Campus fellowship gather to pray and then evangel around the campus. Then from 6-8pm I head to Judo training. Most of my Judo team members have won medals from competitions so I look forward to competing and winning a few as well.
• Tuesdays are pretty much the same, an early rise, then to MDX before going straight to reading and redrafting or continuing from where I left off yesterday. If I have feedback from my supervisors then I assess them and redraft my research. And sometimes I prepare the sermon for Wednesday evening’s campus fellowship.
• Wednesdays are great. Coursework is taken care of as per usual and meetings are held if any research drafts require attention. Later in the evening around 6pm, I head to arrange the room for fellowship which begins at 6.30pm. Here, we pray, sing and worship God. I usually give the sermon, then we close at 8.30pm and go home.
• Thursdays are great as well. I sometimes get up as early as 6.30am. Most people from fellowship have a group call and we pray for the day, MDX, the country, family and friends, the world and ourselves. Later in the day after arriving on campus, I attend conferences which are relevant if scheduled for that day and join a few colleagues in discussions regarding studies, work and life. From 7-9pm, I head to Judo training. Feeling well exercised, I head back to the researcher’s room to round off the day.
• Fridays are more relaxing as I come in later in the day at 10am. I then study for a while and meet up with colleagues and friends depending on who is available. I also just sum up every draft and research done during the week.
• My weekends are summed up as helping out wherever I can with friends. I attend Church on Sunday morning. Later in the evening, I head to Bible training which is always very interesting. For the past 3 months we have studied Biblical Leadership and Growing towards spiritual maturity. I then head home, do my laundry if any is left, and prepare for a new week.

• The lecturers have helped with the understanding of the basics as well as widen my knowledge base on international relations and the global system. I was also thrilled with the opportunity to undertake a work placement in Geneva for three months which was by far my most favourite time on my course.
