Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø

I wanted to study the LLM International Law specialism because legal knowledge in areas such as Energy, Trade and Investment Law, with a particular focus on the international law aspects, are in high demand in Malawi.

I looked for a world-renowned university within the UK that was comparable with Cambridge and Oxford University in terms of ratings – which led me to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø. I applied to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø because not only did it have a reputation for being a world-class university, but it also has a history of welcoming students from all over the world, including Africa; and all students are treated as equals (academically and socially). I needed a university where I would feel at home, and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø was that university for me.

My best memory at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø was being awarded a conditional offer for postgraduate research (MPhil/PhD) studies before the completion of my LLM studies. This is my best memory because I had the opportunity to experience first-hand what others had said about Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø: that my academic potential was valued regardless of my race or geographical origin.

Some of the most senior positions I have held in my career in Malawi are: 1. Principal Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet responsible for the Department of International Affairs (8 December 2020 - to date); 2. Director of Public Prosecutions (JulyÌý2014 - DecemberÌý2020); 3. Chief Legal Aid Advocate (Head of the Legal Aid Department in Malawi) (May 2013 - JulyÌý2014).

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø is a university that I would highly recommend to those who have caring responsibilities and wish to pursue postgraduate study. The quality of resources available at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø make it possible for students with families to excel in their studies. I am an example - I brought two daughters to the UK, and yet I graduated with a Master of Laws in Public International Law with Distinction.
