Arthur Ddamulira

Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Beacon Scholar who graduated from Cardiff University in 2023.

Arthur Ddamulira was a Beacon Scholar who graduated from Cardiff University in 2023 with a First-Class Honours degree in Law. He is currently working in the disputes practice at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Dubai, and will commence his SQE in March 2024, and start his legal career at Freshfields London office as a trainee associate.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. Arthur is already making a difference in people’s lives, leading by example and mentoring others.

He sits on various panels, on the board of a charity in Uganda and is passing on his experience to others through events on career paths, leadership and his own journey into law. At Cardiff, he organised socials to help first years to settle into halls, and as Corporate Relations Officer for the 93% club, he hosted panels and helped raise money by securing long-term partners for the cause.

His work with students from the Sutton Trust has encouraged more than 30 students this year to apply for university places, and his contact with Pro Bono Uganda has led to facilitating book clubs remotely and encouraging partnership with Aga Khan schools.
