Programme: Bachelor of Civil Law
Moayad was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Commercial Bar Association (COMBAR) to pursue the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL).
Moayad, who studied Law as an undergraduate at Oxford, now continues his legal journey at postgraduate level with the support of the scholarship.
I was born in Ireland to Sudanese parents, and since then I’ve moved around a fair bit, spending time in Ireland, Sudan, Scotland, and now Oxford. Living in different legal and political systems has definitely shaped my interest in the law. I was struck by the contrast between the different impacts the law had on people’s lives across these countries.
Coming to study at Worcester College as an undergraduate changed the course of my life in a big way. Now, the BCL offers a unique chance to take a diversity of options, and to go deeper into various areas of law before heading into practice.
The Restitution of Unjust Enrichment and Commercial Remedies are two subjects that are hugely important in private law and that raise big theoretical issues, which I’m particularly interested in. I’m also excited to study the Principles of Civil Procedure and the International Law of Armed Conflict, which I haven’t had the chance to explore previously.
I’m truly grateful to COMBAR and to the Faculty for giving me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise.
