Standout student Denizhan Törün was selected by the university to take part in the summer school, hosted by the Universidad De Los Andes Law School in Bogotá.

Mr Törün, who previously enjoyed an outstanding academic year supported by the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme, was nominated by Professor Joan Loughrey, head of QUB Law School, and Dr Conor McCormick, director of graduate studies

This recognition was bolstered by financial and moral support from the university, including the JETSET Award.

Commenting on the experience, Mr Törün said: “This experience allowed me to meet participants from prestigious universities around the world, such as the University of Freiburg and FGV Rio Law, making new friends from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.

“During this time, I formed strong bonds with Colombian peers from the University of Los Andes, enriching my experience in Bogotá with their warm hospitality and vibrant culture.”

He added: “Thank you, Queen’s University Belfast, and thank you, LSGL Summer School, for this incredible opportunity.

“My experience has truly been a highlight of my academic journey, and I look forward to applying the insights and skills I have gained in my future endeavours, particularly as I plan to pursue a PhD focused on regulating technology and addressing the associated inequalities within corporate governance.”

Professor Loughrey said: “As an outward-facing global law school we are proud to provide these transformative global opportunities for our students and I am really pleased that Denizhan’s time with us has been so beneficial while he studied for his masters in LLM law.

“We wish Denizhan every success as he returns to his position as rapporteur judge at the Ministry of Justice in Turkey and good luck with his further studies.”
