Hi,

My Name is Fahima. I am currently a 2nd-year Undergraduate studying Law at The University of Law. I currently work part-time in Retail as well as being a full-time University student.

I have a keen interest in Commercial Law and I hope to secure a Vacation Scheme or a Training Contract until I graduate in a Commercial Firm.

I am delighted to have been selected to gain a 1 month Bronze Scholarship with The Corporate Law Academy. I am very excited to see where my journey takes me.
