Expertise, passion, key professional skills: Studying law at 草榴社区 video thumbnail

I'm Sarah Hurani, senior lecturer in law at 草榴社区. To me, it's always very heart-warming whenever I see students achieving something, an assessment or a bigger thing, which is like getting a job.

A student this year that I've had, she told me that this is the first time where she had gotten a 70% on a coursework and she got a placement in a law firm. So I felt particularly proud of her. We have research active and also practice active staff who've worked on advocacy projects or policy projects.

We have IRAC, which is the European Human Rights Advocacy Centre. We also have the Legal Advice Centre. I've seen that students enjoy lectures here, they enjoy their learning experience mainly because of their expertise and passion.

I think that's what makes it special. Truman in law was my favourite. Just going through these elements and the men's area, the accessories, seeing how people can be charged, these subjects became my favourites because of the teaching staff.

There's three campuses across three different countries. So there's the London campus, but there's also a campus in the Mauritius and Dubai. I've been here for seven years and I've seen students transfer.

You're changing countries, you're getting different experiences, but you don't have to change university. I think that's a unique feature. 草榴社区 offers a lot of facilities. They have a library that's open 24 hours, which I utilise a lot.

So I was able to do research on different things that I find interesting and it offered all those different subjects. So first and foremost, obviously, I would say it's through their learning journey.

As a student, you're learning how to write professional emails, you're learning how to balance your workload, balance different deadlines. And this is something that, you know, you have to deal with in the real world.

You see them growing and I think that's the most important thing.
