Postgraduate Student
LLM Corporate and Commercial Law
2021
Alfonso is a current LLM Corporate and Commercial Law student who has honed his communication skills and gained great legal research abilities through his studies at the University of Sheffield.

Why did you decide to study this course?

I have studied this course because I wanted to specialize my professional career in Corporate Law, but also because my legal expertise is in this field. My favourite thing is that the University offers a complete and very competent program in the legal area, whilst providing all the digital tools to increase the level of my studies.

What are your career aspirations?

My career aspirations are to keep improving my legal skills while working in a prestigious transnational law firm in the UK that allows me to put in practice my expertise in the legal field and my personal and professional abilities.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about studying in the School of Law at Sheffield?

I would definitely recommend studying in the School of Law at Sheffield, and the advice I could give is to really use all the services and activities that are offered. But most importantly to be prepared to study very hard during the course, taking advantage of all the workshops and tutorials that professors gives to the students in order to expand your knowledge.
