Brenda Valencia Bazalar
International Commercial Law

I consider that the high quality education of the University of Groningen has helped me not only to expand my knowledge but also to develop several skills useful for the field of researching and the analysis of cases.

When I was searching for a master, I wanted to find a programme in English specialized in Private Law that could give me an international perspective of this area. I decided to study the LLM in International and Comparative Private Law since I consider that the courses covered by this master are interesting and well structured ...
Furthermore, studying in this university has given me the opportunity to meet international students which whom I had combined personal, professional and academic experiences that have had a positive effect not only in my education but also in my personal formation.
It is important to highlight that the University of Groningen has all the facilities required to study in a suitable and pleasant environment, such as internet and library services, among others which are not without relevance for the students to achieve all the challenges which imply studying in this university .
