Laura De Sutter

I am a belgian student in human rights and democratization, currently writing my thesis at the university of Hamburg (Germany). Priorly I already obtained a master degree in international law at the university of Leuven.

Professionally, I completed several legal internships in law firms and at the Public Prosecutor’s office. They trained me to be efficient, organized and hardworking. As to my personal experiences: I have been volunteering for several years in a Moroccan orphanage and taught

English in Peru. Next to that, I am socially engaged in ESN Leuven and am yearbook coordinator. All of the opportunities above, taught me to be open minded, flexible, as well as how to discuss and operate within a team.

I am currently completing a master’s degree in Human Rights and Democratization at the

University of Hamburg in Germany. Priorly, I obtained a Master of Laws degree at KU Leuven

(Belgium) with a specialization in International and European Law. My academic experiences led me to develop a strong work ethic, as well as the ability to conduct high-quality research. To enhance my skills, I followed an optional practical course on diplomacy, as well as an introductory course on International Humanitarian law, organised by the Belgian Red Cross. Lastly, I participated in several moot courts during my studies that allowed me to improve my practical knowledge.
