“As I progress through my degree, studying law has not only opened up a multitude of career opportunities, it has provided me with skills that transfer across professions, industries and careers. I have acquired a legal perspective that I hope will follow me in the future, whichever path I choose to take, as well as an analytical ability to break down complex problems into fine detail. Moreover,

it serves as a fundamental sam brown challenge to my true Bachelor of commerce/Bachelor potential. ” of Laws The Sydney LLB – Scholarships & Prizes
