At the end of April, our third year students enjoyed a short and busy trip to Brussels with law colleagues. Here is a rundown of the itinerary.

After an incredibly early start (Tuesday 2.30am departure!) they arrived in Brussels before lunch and enjoyed a walking tour of Brussels with John Maas followed by a visit to the European Parliament.

The following day began with a visit to NATO headquarters and meetings with Ross McKenzie (Unmanned Aircraft Systems Portfolio Lead) and Justin Wismer, who completed a NATO internship before getting a contract working with Ross.

This was followed by a visit to the British Mission in Brussles and meetings with Grace Barningham, Campaign Manager, Tom Broadbent, Transport and Space Attache and Rosalind Kenny, Second Secretary for Research and Innovation

There was some downtime in the evenings when students were free to explore the delights of Brussels cuisine and nightlife before a more civilised departure on Thursday, allowing students to get home and rest that afternoon.

Thank you so much to Matthew Stubbins, Thahmina Begum Thaniya and John Mass for planning and coordinating the trip and ensure the students had a fantastic and informative time.
