Kuwait Law Concludes London Summer Program... A Scientific Experience Combining Study and Practical Application
The Kuwait International Law College (KILC) in London concluded the activities of its third summer program, organized in collaboration with the University of Essex. This international academic experience further consolidated the college’s success in its programs and solidified its position in building global academic partnerships that enable its students to learn in advanced educational environments.
In a statement, the college noted that the program spanned two weeks, comprising an intensive semester with three academic courses: “European Union Law,” “Islamic Financial Transactions System,” and “Arbitration.” These courses were delivered by a distinguished faculty from the University of Essex, the University of Manchester, and KILC, providing students with a comprehensive scientific experience that combined academic study with practical application.
At the outset, KILC President Dr. Mohammed Al-Muqattam emphasized that the continuous success of the summer program in its third edition reflects the college’s commitment to providing legal education to global standards and strengthening international academic cooperation with prestigious universities. This opens broader horizons for students to acquire knowledge and expertise and to engage with comparative legal experiences.
Dr. Al-Muqattam added that the college believes that preparing distinguished legal professionals extends beyond lecture halls to include direct exposure to leading legal and judicial institutions and familiarity with global best practices. This contributes to shaping legal personalities capable of keeping pace with rapid developments in the legal field and enhancing graduates’ readiness for the local and international job market.
For her part, Dr. Suha Al-Turkiet, Director of the London Summer Program, clarified that the program saw participation from KILC students alongside students from other universities, creating a multicultural educational environment that enhanced academic exchange and broadened the scientific and intellectual horizons of participants.
Dr. Al-Turkiet noted that the program was not limited to the academic aspect; it included a series of field visits to prominent academic, legal, and judicial institutions in the United Kingdom. Notable visits included the Supreme Court, where students learned about the operational mechanisms of the highest judicial authority and its role in reinforcing the principles of justice and the rule of law, as well as a visit to the Law School at the University of Essex.
She affirmed that these visits represented one of the most significant milestones of the program, offering students a unique opportunity to closely observe the British legal experience and interact with global judicial environments. This contributed to enriching their legal knowledge and developing their analytical, discussion, and comprehension skills regarding comparative legal systems.
She highlighted that the significant engagement demonstrated by students throughout the program reflected the positive impact of this experience, which served as an inspiring academic milestone that helped refine their skills, broaden their perspectives, and boost their self-confidence. This aligns with the college’s mission to prepare legal competencies capable of competing and excelling in a changing legal environment, locally, regionally, and internationally.
