Flexibility to attend classes and complete assignments. I organized my time effectively, prioritizing tasks and making use of any downtime at work to study or research. The motivation to achieve my academic goals and the encouragement from my colleagues played a significant role in helping me balance both responsibilities.
Great to have you here for this interview! Let’s start with the topic of challenges faced by international students studying in England. Can you please share some of the unique difficulties you encountered while pursuing your master’s degree in law at UCL?
Namira: Absolutely! One of the main challenges for me was definitely the language barrier. As an Indonesian student, English is not my first language, so it was a constant effort to improve my communication skills and understand all the legal jargon.

I also believed acquiring a master’s degree would broaden my career prospects, so I decided to take the plunge. Of course, it was challenging to manage work and study simultaneously, but I was fortunate enough to work in a supportive environment that gave me the
