Wed Apr 01, 2009 04:12 PM I should be most grateful if you could please help me with the following: how far away is Nottingham Trent University from The University of Nottingham? I have got admission in NTU..I will really appreciate, I am completely in doubt.Thanks a lot. Far? you must be talking about the reputation in comparison, well i dont know much about, atleast i know that Nottingham Uni. has more reputation points as compared to NTU, however the Nottingham Law School has reasonable reputation in UK and its focused by many law firms. |

Thank you very much for your interest.I have heard a lot of things of both universities. I have heard that The NTU is better in post-graduate than The University of Nottingham, but if you have a look to the rankings is like…wow NTU is in the 30 position while the Unviersity of Nottingham is top10, so I do not know, I am very confused. Do not know if it is worh to attend a LLM in NTU. Imagine if the employer has 2 cv, one from NTU other from The University of Nottingham, what will he choose?

An employer doesn't only look at your LLM or the Uni you have studied at. It's the overall package that counts! You should have studied at an officially recognised University (ie not Cayman islands etc.), got good or better excellent marks, have done some nice internships, have studied or lived abroad for a while, speak more than 2 languages, have done some extracurricular activities, not be too old, be flexible, curious, polite and most important be at the right place at the right time or know the right people! ;-)

Don't really get your point. The link I posted gives an outline about what is covered by the LLM courses. For further information just try to get hold of a textbook and have a look at the content. Or write an e-mail to the law school and ask for additional information.

They provide a student handbook which contains very detailed information about each module you can choose. Usually you get it during the introduction week at the beginning of the LLM. Maybe you can get in touch with the law school and ask for a copy of it in advance. Guess it should not be a big deal unless they are currently rewriting the script.

Brother, its as if you are relying more on the University as compare to your own personality, go for a good university and give a chance to life, it will come out to some solution at the end, NTU is good University, specially for Law, what i say is Nottingham University would be entertaining more applications as compare to NTU, so what your academic and english language test (if required) contain is obviously the criteria to choose between, like if i have excellent academics i would go for London School of Economics. Hope it covered the solution for your logic to approach. |

NEED HELP. Got admission both The Universi of Amsterdam and the Nottingham Trent UniversityThu Apr 09, 2009 07:02 AM What I was wondering is that with the LLM Amsterdam you don t really get specialized and the clue of the LLM is to get specialized. All the law firm are divided by teams, namely:bankinf&finance, corporate, IP…where do you suit with and LLM International and European Law? Since in that course you study IP, market regulation, competition, company…is very general and an LLM does not have to be general. On the other hand taking the LLM Corporate Law at the NTU, one will be ONE YEAR getting knowledge only and only about company law…let me know your thoughts. Most probably I will accept NTU, but Amsterdam has a very good reptuation. |

Tue Apr 21, 2009 04:34 PM NEED HELP PLEASE: I should be most grateful if you could please help me with the following scenario: let s suppose that I get admission with the condition to meet the 7 IELTS requirement. Let s say that I achieve a 6.5. Am I able to attend the LLM anyway? Can I compensate with a English course at the uni? Brother, Nottingham Trend ask for LLM a band with minimum of 6.5, however if you get short of your desired IELTS band, you have to get the pre-session classes at the university you asked for program admission, depending on your IELTS score you have to take the classes ranging from 6 to 20 week, if you get short of 0.5 as you described, you have to take the course for 4 to 6 weeks, but in these sort of cases students dont get unconfirmed admission letter, it always subject to fulfill the English Language Course and passing can only led to your desired course. I also have given the IELTS and waiting for the results. best regards. |

Hey you guys... I have been accepted in the International Commercial Law LLM of the University of Nottingham... I am really excited about attending it, since it appears to me that they have courses really focused in Finance and Trade Finance (which are the subjects I am passiote about). Further, the University of Nottingham Law School has been ranked 4th equal among UK Law Schools in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (and I believe thats very good), what makes me even more excited about it.Tue Apr 21, 2009 09:54 PM However, I have also been accepted in the University of Edinburgh (Commercial Law LLM) - which has been ranked 5th among UK Law Schools in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. It appears that such LLM program is also very well regarded and that the city is really, really nice. Does anyone from this Post know how does Nottingham compare to Eddinburgh, as far as reputation, living costs, living style and content of the LLM courses? Best Regards!! |

Hey Guys,Tue Apr 21, 2009 10:04 PM Im a 26 yr old guy from India and I have been accepted for the Fall 09 LLM (General) Course at NLS. I have done my fair bit of research and have been able to deduce that it is a very prestigious University. Some people who have a general idea of how things regarding the legal profession are U.K are concerned, have told me that its a great university, but may this may not culminate in it being as recognized as any of the 4-5 London University Colleges viz. UCL,KCL, SOAS etc. Since the graduate prospects are slightly higher here. I personally believe that so long as one gets in any of the top Uni's, he may go further than even an LSE graduate, if he absorbs or takes home more knowledge rather than goofin around in those 9 months. So jus do full justice to it. |

Hey Colorado! I am sure you will get accepted in the University of Nottingham. Thu Apr 23, 2009 01:13 AM It appears to me that the International Commercial Law LLM of the University of Nottingham has GREAT modules (courses)... if you see, they are quite specialized... very good indeed. Thats one of the reasons I am leeding towards Nottingham... |

Yes, I agree with you. The International Commercial Law LLM is much more focused... its is not as general as the LLM of Commercial law of other Unis... thats the reason I am considering it so much. You see, if you are eager to pursue a career in Corporate law, it will be usefull to you. Law firms need people who know trade finance and banking. If you get accepted, go for it. Thats my opinion.
