Chevening Scholarship
LLM Human Rights
The Gambia
"I got a LLB Hons Law degree from Anglia Ruskin University in
Chelmsford, Essex in 1997. I also did a BL (Barrister at Law) at Sierra
Leone School of Law in 1999. I then worked as a Lawyer in the State Law
Office at the Gambian Attorney General's office until March 2006 when I
was advised that I was awarded the British Council Chevening
Scholarship to study LLM Human Rights at London Met.
I think that my good leadership qualities, my results at university
combined with my work experience in government helped me to get a
Chevening scholarship. It is essential that everyone is aware of their
Human Rights and I hope to be able to further assist the people of The
Gambia when I complete my degree. I'm always amazed that many people
aren't aware of their human rights and I hope to encourage them and
sensitise them on their rights.
I'm happy that I've been given this scholarship to study in London
and I'd like to thank my sponsors, the Chevening programme, through the
British High Commission in The Gambia and London Met for this
opportunity."
