BSc (Hons) Law and current LLM Criminal Law and Justice student

My name is Eunice Mendonca, and I an Alumni student.  I have finished my undergraduate law degree in May 2024 and I graduated in October 2024.

At present I am doing my LLM in Criminal Law and Justice at the С»ÆƬapp and have just finished my Solicitors qualification exams.(SQE1). 

To build up my work experience qualification, I volunteer with the citizens adviser once a week along side the С»ÆƬapp Legal Advice Centre. I joined the Legal Advice Centre on my first year as a student in September 2021. I have volunteered there throughout my studies until June 2024.

Being a student at the С»ÆƬapp truly helped me to develop my confidence and skills and has helped me to acquire more understanding about researching and  learning how to work more independently.  I am using these skills already while volunteering with The Citizens Advice Bureau and studying my SQE. This will be a massive help for my future career.  

I also have my full time job, where I had the opportunity to develop my skills as HR manager, helping to implement the company policies more accurately. My law degree has helped to increase my work skills.  

I am looking forward to the months ahead where we will develop advocacy skills while learning about criminal evidence and psychology.
