“Studying at the Salford Law School has helped me to get a senior position with the British Foreign Commonwealth Office in China. After finishing my LLM in International Business Law & Regulation, I have applied for the newly-opened Commercial Diplomacy & Prosperity Officer position in the British Consulate General, Chongqing. My legal background, and the communication and analytical skills I have acquired from this course helped me to stand out in the written test and final interview. I have been offered the job and will soon start to work with various British government organisations, such as the UK Trade & Investment, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Intellectual Property Office, to deliver UK’s commercial diplomacy agenda in southwest China.
