Janis Rusis LLB (Law)

Hi, I'm Janis Rusis and I studied LLB (Law) within Southampton Law School at the University of Southampton.

I enjoyed the wide range of legal subjects, as part of my degree. I liked the diversity of the student body, there are many international students here and it is good to network and make friends.

Undergraduate Janis Rusis headed to Southampton Law School from Austria because of its reputation for European law. The second year student is now planning a year abroad at the University of Nantes in France, as part of the Erasmus scheme, to learn more about French law and improve his command of the language.

Janis considers himself a European. He spent his childhood in Latvia and Sweden before his family moved to Vienna where he took the International Baccalaureate. "Friends recommended I should study in the UK and Southampton was an obvious choice," he says. "I enjoy learning a wide range of legal subjects, as part of my degree. I also like the diversity of the student body, there are many international students here and it is good to network and make friends."

After graduating with his LLB (hons) in European Legal Studies, Janis is considering taking a higher degree, then would like to work at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
