Category: EBS Law Summer School

Pre-departure:

I read up about all the summer schools and the one that immediately stood out for me was the EBS Law Summer School. It seemed to be an excellent course with interesting subjects relating to commercial law and exciting study trips. The school started on 6 June and my final exam was on 4 June, so I knew I could attend it after the completion of all my exams without missing any classes abroad.

By mid-April I was informed by Stellenbosch University that I was nominated to participate in the summer school. However, I didn’t start making bookings before I received an acceptance letter from the EBS institution.

Pre-departure:

From the first moment I heard that my summer school in Germany has been approved, my excitement levels shot through the roof. I literally could not stop thinking about it for a period of two weeks and I could not help myself from downloading all the information I could get about Germany. I also forced all my friends in South-Africa that could speak German to teach me the basics and this itself really helped a lot with my time overseas. Unfortunately this feeling only lasted for a short while because there was so much that had to be done before Germany could become a reality. Apart from the fact that all the paperwork and administration had to be taken care of, there was a massive exam waiting for me, and because neither a rewrite nor a second opportunity was available for me, the pressure was on. Luckily that forced myself to take charge and the exam went relatively well taking everything into consideration.
