Where did you work before coming to Bucerius Law School?
Before joining Bucerius Law School, my prior work experience was quite diverse. I began my career in the non-profit sector, working for the autonomous region in Nicaragua, where I was involved in various community and environment-oriented initiatives.
Additionally, I established my own law office, specializing in family law. At the same time, I gained experience in the telecommunications sector by working for a US-based company. This varied background has equipped me with a broad range of skills and perspectives that I believe will be valuable in my legal education and future career.
Why did you decide to study in Germany?
My decision to study in Germany was influenced by a combination of factors. Firstly, Germany's prominence in education. It's renowned for its strong educational system. Secondly, the cultural appeal of Germany and its emphasis on work-life balance were significant factors.
Additionally, Germany's robust economy, a leader in the European Union, presented promising opportunities. Lastly, coming from Nicaragua, I consider attending Bucerius Law School an honor and a substantial responsibility, as I become the first student from my country to join this academic community.
What makes the MLB special in your opinion?
From my perspective, the MLB program at Bucerius Law School stands out for several compelling reasons:
Strong Reputation: Bucerius Law School has a well-established history of academic excellence and success. Its longstanding reputation adds credibility to the program.
Diversity and Global Perspective: One of the program's standout features is the incredible diversity it offers. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with individuals from different parts of the world. This multicultural exposure is remarkable, as it broadens our horizons, helps us understand different mindsets, and encourages the exchange of ideas.
Interdisciplinary Approach: What I particularly appreciate about the MLB program is its distinctive approach, blending business and law. This approach is in real-world, international case studies. It equips us with a comprehensive understanding of complex issues, making it easier to apply our knowledge through practical scenarios.
Networking Opportunities: Remarkably, within just a few months, I've managed to build a valuable network of contacts within the university and various law firms. The program facilitates field trips to companies and startups for example to Berlin, where we engage in in-depth case studies with companies. This has proven to be an invaluable opportunity for exploring potential internships and job prospects.
Exceptional Faculty: The program is enriched by an outstanding faculty of professors and professionals, each of whom display an impressive career in both law and business. Learning from such accomplished individuals has not only amplified my perspective but also sharpen my critical thinking skills.
It has taught me that the fields of business and law are nuanced, with shades of gray, rather than being strictly black and white. In addition to the faculty, the support provided by the admission committee and the careers advisor department has been truly welcoming since my very first day.
The combination of these factors makes the MLB program an extraordinary and fulfilling educational journey, one that I am proud to be a part of.
