Press release issued: 25 February 2020

Following last week’s graduation celebrations, we caught up with recent final year LLM graduate Jason Fleming. In this Q&A, Jason outlines why he chose to study at Bristol, what he loved about his course and how he came to realise that Hard work and dedication gets you noticed!

Why did you choose to study Law at Bristol? 

‘I was eager to expand my knowledge in the specialised area of banking and finance law, however, I quickly discovered that very few Universities offered such a programme and those which did offer such programmes were incomparable to Law at Bristol in terms of the range of law units’. 

Congratulations on winning Best Performance in the Banking and Finance Law LLM Pathway. How do you feel to have received this prize? 

‘I’m absolutely delighted and grateful to have received this prize. I really appreciate that the Law School has recognised the hard work and dedication demonstrated during my postgraduate studies.’ 

What are your plans for the future? Do you have any long-term goals? 

The continued growth of innovation from FinTechs especially in the banking sector provides a great opportunity to handle a wide range of legal, regulatory and policy considerations. I firmly believe the UoB has equipped me with the requisite knowledge and practical skillset to achieve in any legal capacity. My long-term goals are to stay abreast to these developments and continue to learn about the law surrounding these new emerging technologies and aspects which are driving transformation both in the UK and globally. 

What advice would you give to students about to start their journey into Law at Bristol? 

Be curious to learnimmerse yourself in events which the Law School organise, join a club or society. The great thing about University is that you will always meet like-minded people who share the same passions and interests as you Explore and enjoy the great city of Bristol – it will become your second home!
