From achieving awards such as ‘Programme Representative of the Year’ and the ‘Positive Peer Award’, to his active involvement in a range of student societies including Greenwich Students’ Union’s Bar Society and Commercial Mastery Society – it's clear that Rizwan has seized every opportunity from his experience at Greenwich so far!
What drew Rizwan to Greenwich?
It’s more than classrooms and textbooks! From hands-on experiences in student societies to the presence of great initiatives like the Innocence Project London, Rizwan truly found the perfect fit. Whilst the modules of the LLB programme perfectly align with his interests, Rizwan shares how the university’s location within easy reach of Central London and its stunning campus views acted as an additional bonus.
Reflecting on his experience at the university, Rizwan shares, “The faculty is really supportive, and the student community is incredibly diverse and inclusive.”
The professional journey
In his first year, with invaluable support from Greenwich’s Employability and Careers Team, Rizwan secured an internship in a city law firm.
“After discovering the opportunity at a university event, the employability team guided me through the application and interview process.”
Rizwan highlights the practical skills he gained through his internship experience - from mock negotiations and project tasks to presentations and opportunities to network - and extensive transferable skills, all of which will support him through his university studies and beyond.
What’s next?
For Rizwan, Law is more than just a subject – it drives his ambitions. After his graduation, Rizwan aspires to complete an SQE exam to become a qualified commercial solicitor to achieve his dreams of pursuing a career in a city law firm!
