Personal Statement in International Law
I believe that the International Commercial Law course at Salford would provide me with the opportunity for advanced learning in international commercial law, especially, in contract law and negotiation. For this reason, I am very motivated and excited to take this course. In 2015 I graduated back from the University of Kingston with a 2:2 grade. I have chosen the field of international law because I am interested in contract law and how contracts work in the legal field.
I would like to outline that the TV-show “Judge Judy” has inspired me to do my bachelor in law, as it demonstrated how justice is provided and how the provisions of law are actually applied to the everyday life and to the situations that appear on daily basis.

I believe that I meet the selection criteria to take this course, and I am wishing to build upon my knowledge and expertise in the fields of the sale of goods, intellectual property, corporate governance and law, and to get advanced skills in contract law and negotiation. Such advanced expertise would be extremely useful for my further career path in …
