UQ Program: Bachelor of Law
While in Copenhagen I studied Human Rights Law, Energy Law and Sports Law. While all of my subjects were euro-centric, they contributed greatly to my understanding of law on the international stage. As a fourth year Bachelor of Law student, it was wonderful to experience different ways law can be taught in different universities. I enjoyed the smaller classes, and found oral exams to be quite interesting.
Copenhagen can be a very expensive place to live. However, once you become accustomed to the city you will quickly find the cheaper places to eat and drink, buy things that make your stay more enjoyable, and socialise. I would certainly advise anyone in Copenhagen to check out their local Tiger store or flee market for a local bargain.
Studying in Copenhagen was the second time I have left Australia to live overseas. Both experiences have taught me that it is more about the people you meet while away than the smaller details specific to the country you are staying in. I would advise anybody living away from home to embrace the culture of their adopted city and make every attempt to make friends with people from different parts of the world. Your experience away will greatly depend on the people that you meet while there. There are a number of sports clubs, organised both independently and through the university, that offer a great way to meet people outside of university: Copenhagen even have a reasonably strong Rugby Union competition!
The Law Faculty at KU is located in the heart of the city, and is very geared towards international students. My time there proved the Danish students, and people generally, to be very welcoming.
