Beverly Ng

“The Juris Doctor at UTS really prepares graduates well for “life after the JD”, not just in terms of the academic program but also with student support and the inclusion of practical legal training.”

Beverly Ng always wanted a career in Government and the public sector and her undergraduate degree reflects that - a Bachelor of Arts and Science with Majors in Government, International Relations and Human Geography.

She says Government studies sparked her interest in Law:

“My major in government had a lot of cross over with law. So, pursuing a JD was always the next logical step and I also knew a JD would open a lot more career opportunities.”

When she looked at the different JDs on offer, Beverly was working part-time so the flexible timetabling of the UTS JD was a major attraction:

“I could do evening, weekend and summer classes with a small cohort. There’s also a very supportive law student mentoring program which provides valuable insights into the legal industry and career opportunities.”

Beverly now works as a senior lawyer at the Department of Customer Service and specialises in regulatory prosecutions for various agencies.

She has a continuing connection with UTS Law and participates in the UTS Law Society Women's Mentoring Program to help assist young students in their legal journey.

And, because the UTS JD offers a range of master level subject options, Beverly is looking at studying a Master of Laws at UTS in the future.
