Statement of experience
“I am very proud to be one of those who have graduated from the University of Portsmouth at the PhD level in the academic year 2010-11 from the School of Law. The years that I have spent at the School are the best, interesting and dynamic ones throughout my life. The cooperation and instructions of my thesis supervisor proved to be the greatest effect on my success as they helped me overcome all the obstacles that I had encountered as a research student. The vibrant and supportive academic atmosphere that the School of Law offered made my research enjoyable (along with other researchers with whom I have made good friends) and has left me with a lasting impression.”
