Can you tell us about your role working on a project at UCL CLES?
During my studies, I worked as a research assistant at the UCL Centre for Law, Economics and Society (CLES). I was involved in a special legal study in collaboration with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The work involved being part of international working groups with team members based in different locations around the world (I was working with a colleague based in Madrid and another based in Paris).
How did your experience as a research assistant help with your career?
The project at CLES was fundamental for my professional experience, as it was made in collaboration with UNCTAD, and this increased my awareness about the UN work in the area. The relevant professional experience that I acquired enhanced my CV, which also contributed to my securing an internship at UNCTAD in Geneva, and then a post as a Consultant at the UN.
What are the benefits of studying at UCL Laws, located in the heart of legal London?
Studying in London and building networks here has been crucial in terms of being able to get a job with the UN, and I received help from UCL Careers.
