India Graduate’s Experience with the London LL.B

November 8, 1999

I am a hardcore sailor, sailing 7 months in a year but kept the remaining five months to breathe law as an external student of the LL.B. graduate entry route B. I have used word (breathe law) because that is what I have to do for making up for lost reading time while being at sea. But overall it was an astounding experience reading, and understanding legal aspects. I am basically a master mariner.. an operational guy, but reading and studying for University of London quenched my thirst for knowledge, academic achievement which every student thinks of and at the same time thinking of the various possibilities in which my law degree can benefit me personally or to the organization where I am presently working.

I have given up sea now, for a shore based planning manager job in shipping. My advice to budding external students is to keep going, nomatter what hurdles might come in your way. I myself faced many a hurdles namely missing on family commitments, financial difficulties,stressed up for examination and many more. But the thought of one-day being a law graduate from University of London kept me going. It kept me going to such an extent that in my final year of study I was also doing full time MBA from a ranked business school in Europe. Because, by then I was not only reading law to pass examination but also to quench my thirst in a desert land. Law is interesting, representing our social period, a mirror image of or time, our future challenges and also fulfills our desire to experience justice. So all the budding lawyers from University of London keep your goal in your mind and don't care for hurdles.... There is a conspicuous sunrise in the distant future for you.. I promise that..
