I definitely think that knowledge is power and having an education opens you
up to so many opportunities that you might not have had before.
My name is Kahurangi Simpson and I've just finished the second year of the Bachelor
of Laws I definitely want to have the ability to help people like I'd love to
work in legal aid or just community support and things like that I think
that would be really beneficial. I think the best thing about The Bachelor of
Laws that I'm studying is you have to do a whole range of units so there's all
your core unit so then you also have units that you can specialize in which is really great
Southern Cross was really great because there's only five
thousand people in the Gold Coast campus which meant that the smaller class sizes
I met so many people just from going to classes with them. So because of the
smaller class sizes it is really easy to get to know your lecturer as well so
they know you by your name not just your student number on their class role
they're all so easy to contact I've sent emails on a Sunday and receive replies
back in 20 minutes. So I think it's Southern Cross the connections I've made
some of them are definitely being lifelong friendships we've also managed
to meet a lot of people that you know could possibly help in a professional
kind of setting with law later on.
So right now I don't exactly have a ten
year goal but I do know that by studying this degree I have so many different options
like they have like so many international units and things where I
could practice overseas and there's so much that I could do with it. So my
advice to somebody who is set on doing something with law is to just come in
with an open mind because you never know whether you're going to like another
subject even better
