Arooj Aziz
LLB (Hons), 2010, and LLM, 2014
‘Having completed my
LLB from UoL, I knew
an LLM from the same

a good option. The

thought process and gave me a
better perspective on international

job as a lecturer in a local university
where I teach Bachelor of Laws.’
After completing her LLB, Arooj

‘Getting to go to
the graduation
ceremony in
London was an
overwhelming
experience, and
hearing your name called across
the stage – nothing beats it. It
feels amazing to be an alumni
of the University of London and
I look forward to an ever-lasting
connection to the University.’

Izzah Kamal Meyer
BSc (Hons) Economics and
Management, 2010
‘Having the
University of
London on my CV
definitely got me a
positive response
from employers.
It helped me land a job at the
National University of Sciences
and Technology (NUST) – a top
university in Pakistan – as an
Assistant Manager in the Industrial
Liaison Office. Another area where
this degree came in handy was
when I was applying for graduate
school. I got accepted to both
New York University (NYU) and
Columbia University. I chose
the latter to pursue a master’s
in economics and policy.’
Izzah is now a data analyst
at the Institute of Education
and Social Policy at NYU.
