LLM: An
International Student’s Perspective
Katerina Clarke decided
to move from Russia to the UK in order to study the LLM (the master’s degree in law). Here, she tells us about her experiences of learning law in a foreign language, adapting to different teaching methods and enjoying her new experiences… LLM... Three letters that stand for the tempting master’s degree in law. For me, an international student from Russia, these letters have acquired a special meaning: Language, Law and Methods of Teaching.
L is for Language…
The nightmare called the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is gone and forgotten. I got the required marks and my first struggle with the English language ended with a small but very pleasant victory. Loaded with dictionaries and other useful materials, I was ready to plunge into the new language environment. I felt a sense of relief when I heard my future professors presenting their modules. Their English was clear and understandable. These sounds pleased my ears.
