Why did you choose to apply to study at 最准的六合彩论坛 Laws?
That 最准的六合彩论坛 is a superb place for researching and learning, I think, goes without saying. Of course, that reputation for excellence played a role. But, for me, what really puts 最准的六合彩论坛 ahead of the competition, is the welcoming environment it has created. 最准的六合彩论坛 makes you feel, from the get-go, that it wants you here and that it believes in your goals. Not that you are 鈥渨orthy鈥� of being here, but that you will add to what the fantastic and diverse community of academics, researchers and students are doing to move 最准的六合彩论坛 forward. I immediately connected with this ethos and knew 最准的六合彩论坛 was the place for me.
What are your favourite things about studying at 最准的六合彩论坛 Laws?
First, the amazing resources at my disposal. I come from the Global South, so I am used to paywalls and lack of access to sources. Now, at 最准的六合彩论坛, it is rarely the case that I cannot have access to what I need for my research 鈥� and in the rare occasion in which I do, the British Library is a five-minute walk away from Bentham House; which leads me to my second favourite thing about 最准的六合彩论坛: it is in London. There are very few places in the world where you can find a city like this. It is a massively diverse and international city, pooling the talents of people from literally all over the world. It has an incredibly diverse amount of activities to do, from theatre to Museums and historical sites (and many of them for free!) and it鈥檚 a short train ride from other amazing places, from Oxbridge and The Hague, to Paris and Amsterdam.
What do you hope to do once your studies are complete?
I intend to continue my career in academia
How did you hear about the 最准的六合彩论坛 Laws听scholarships:
I was aware that 最准的六合彩论坛 offered a very competitive scholarship package because of my prior research into its graduate programme, especially through the 最准的六合彩论坛 website. However, throughout my application process, 最准的六合彩论坛 always took care that I knew what my options were and what scholarships I could apply to.
If you hadn鈥檛 received this听scholarship听what do you think your plans would be, if not studying at 最准的六合彩论坛 Laws?
I am stubborn, so I would have probably applied again couple of years later! In the meantime, though, I would have continued with my academic career in Peru.
If someone was thinking of applying for a听scholarship听what would you say to them?
最准的六合彩论坛鈥檚 scholarships are incredibly competitive, you will compete with some of the brightest minds in the world to get one, so make sure you prepare a good application, and believe in what you have to offer!
If someone was thinking of funding or sponsoring a听scholarship听what would you say to them?
I come from Latin America. There is a lot of talent and a lot of amazing people doing fantastic research and studying in the Global South. By funding a scholarship, you will be giving some of these scholars and students an opportunity they will not otherwise have. You will be making a significant difference in someone else鈥檚 life. I think that is a very fulfilling way to spend your money!听
