Costi is an Oxford graduate, law lecturer and experienced academic mentor with a passion for encouraging young people to engage confidently with the big questions at the heart of law, philosophy and the humanities. Costi graduated from the University of Oxford with a degree in Philosophy and Spanish, before completing the Graduate Diploma in Law at City St George’s, University of London and an LLM in Legal Practice at the University of Law. She achieved an exceptional result in her legal training, ranking 12th overall in her Graduate Diploma in Law and within the top 2% nationally in the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations. She has since returned to City St George’s as a Visiting Lecturer, teaching Contract Law and Equity & Trusts to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Her experience teaching law at university level makes her particularly well placed to introduce younger students to sophisticated legal and philosophical ideas in an accessible, engaging and thought-provoking way. At Oxford, she received an East Exhibition for exemplary academic achievement, as well as the Peter Street Memorial Prize for her contribution to college life. Alongside her studies, she coxed the Oxford–Cambridge Boat Race and directed multiple large-scale theatre productions, reflecting her enthusiasm for leadership, communication and collaboration. As host of both the Junior and Senior Humanities & Law Clubs, Costi will encourage students to question assumptions, consider competing perspectives, construct persuasive arguments and develop their own informed opinions. Drawing on her background across philosophy, languages and law, she will help students explore everything from landmark legal cases and ethical dilemmas to contemporary social debates and current affairs.
