Graduate / LLM Labour Law and Corporate Governance at University of Bristol - Personal Statement [3]
Hello everyone, I am working on my personal statement for the above course at Bristol Uni. I would be glad to receive your comments and feedback please?
"I wish to specialise in Labour Law and Corporate Governance at the University of Bristol because I have the firm conviction, after having extensively explored the university's website and students' testimonials, that this is the place where I can blossom both professionally and on a personal level. Having undergone a year of pupillage in XX and having thereafter practised as an independent barrister, it is now time for me to aim higher and elevate my career by choosing to specialise in a specific legal field. Therefore, this programme is an ideal course meeting my ambition. The course structure is appealing and challenging, and I am more than determined to make it through the programme with flying colours. I have the intention of assimilating and developing the necessary skills to arm myself with the proper weapons to rocket my career.
I have chosen the University of Bristol for its excellent reputation in the UK and for its reputable teaching staff. Arming myself with an LLM from this prestigious university, I am confident that I will have the required baggage to achieve higher professionally and gain in expertise and reputation. I have lived in Bristol for a year having pursued the BPTC at the University of the West of England, and I have fallen for this lovely city. I eagerly look forward to coming back to the beautiful city of Bristol and to its incredibly friendly people.
I have the privilege of regularly assisting and collaborating with my Head of Chambers, Mr. XX who has previously served as Minister of Labour and Industrial Relations from 1979 to 1982. I have therefore acquired a respectable amount of knowledge and experience in dealing with labour disputes both in and out of court. I often represent employees or employers in disciplinary committees where I have to present arguments and evidence as per the XX Employment Law. I have also had the opportunity of chairing two disciplinary committees for two private companies and I have duly delivered a finding following the hearing of both parties. Therefore, I have a sound knowledge of labour law in XX both theoretically and in practise. Throughout my year of practise in the labour field, I have grown to be passionate about Labour Law and I wish to pursue my specialisation in this field.
I have undergone seminars and workshops as a member of the XX Institute of Directors focussing on corporate governance which is a primordial concern of all companies and commercial entities. I also act as Company Secretary for two private companies where my main duties are to maintain the concept of good governance and ensuring that the companies' policies abide by the law. Consequently, an LLM in Labour Law and Corporate Governance would undeniably lay a strong foundation to my career.
As a student and professional, I am dedicated, determined, perseverant and hard-working. I have acquired self-discipline and professionalism. I can handle tension and pressure of deadlines, having successfully completed my Bar Professional Training Course on the first attempt. As a practising barrister I have the duty of diligently preparing all my cases for court and carry out extensive legal research. This has taught me time-management, self-discipline, and researching skills. Furthermore, as a social activist, I am actively involved in campaigning against domestic violence and sexual harassment. I regularly give talks to the both the general public and to specific groups of the public including social workers, police officers, other NGOs. Therefore, I have acquired considerable public speaking and communication skills through my professional life and my social involvement. I can also efficiently manage considerable amount of work load within time constraints. I believe these are the requisite skills and qualities for successfully undertake this course.
I am constantly thriving for novel experiences susceptible of providing me with enhanced skills and knowledge. Therefore, I am certain that this course is just what I need and simultaneously I can share my expertise and experience in the labour aspect of the XX law.
With an LLM in Labour Law and Corporate Governance in hand, I will be confidently moving forward to undertaking a PhD. These qualifications will undeniably boost my legal career, and lead to new opportunities in terms of professional expansion in the African region and globally. My future career goals after completion of the programme would be to practise as a specialist in Labour Law and after accumulating sound experience in the field, I look forward to joining the XX Commission for Conciliation and Mediation which provides conciliation, mediation and advisory services for promoting the improvement of industrial relations in the workplace, alternatively the XX Employment Rights Tribunal."
Thank you all!
