A crucial part of LLB (Hons) University of London studies at Blackstone is participation in international competitions.
Law school is not only about sitting in a chair in your classroom and listening to your lecturer explaining complex concepts. Law school is all about learning advanced skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and team work. To that effect, at Blackstone, we provide opportunities to our law students to participate in international law moots and Model United Nations (MUN) competitions.
Most recently, our LLB class participated in one of the most sought-after MUN that was held at the United Nations headquarters in New York and was hosted by the United Nations itself. Future leaders from many countries, and Blackstone students from Pakistan, travelled NY for 7 days and represented their assigned countries in the UN style discussion. Our students identified and articulated many international issues in the debate and were categorically praised by the organizers of the MUN. During this trip to NY, we also provided our students with an opportunity to visit the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations to learn about Pakistan’s particular role in the United Nations. Our students are also proud to be featured on the Twitter and other social media pages of the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations.
We strive to continue to provide opportunities for international travel and participation in competitions for our students. We strongly believe that an international exposure is one of the biggest learning platform a student can get. It strengthens our students’ portfolio which sets them apart from the crowd and also helps them learn in a way which is not possible in a classroom.
