City St George's, University of London
Law LLB (Hons)
I am ethnically from Bangladesh, but my nationality is Italian. I did law as an A level and decided to study it at degree level. I love to interact with others and help them in any way I can. Among many of my interests, my top 3 would be listening to different types of music, watching movies and painting.
