King's/UCL and LSE in the top 10 for LLM's?
Wed Sep 30, 2009 11:45 PM UCL is probably better is international public law and legal theory and jurisprudence. KCL is better for finance law and competition law. Check the teachers and modules ......For the remaining specializations, both institutions are similar but UCL has a slightly better reputation in the UK while KCL has an edge is central Europe and Asia. LSE is obviously excellent but overrated for law (very reputable in the Americas) . I agree with this (a good realistic appraisal). |

UCL offers 85 courses, the LSE offers 80. (The LSE includes dissertation support courses in the list, which UCL offers but does not list). Thu Oct 01, 2009 09:52 AM I do not agree that KCL is better for finance and competition law than UCL. Go to the websites and compare the courses offered, and see for yourself . UCL is however, lacking in courses in taxation, which are offered at the LSE and Kings. [Edited by joseph s on 01 Oct 2009] |

So you're cherry-picking off LSE dissertation courses to prove your point, Joseph? (Though, last time I looked, QM and KCL had more courses on their books). But putting this pettiness aside, all the colleges offer around 80-90 courses on the LLM - whether one offers more or less has very little bearing on the quality of the programme. Thu Oct 01, 2009 05:10 PM I've attended courses at all the colleges, so I can judge their quality beyond just looking at the publicity material on their websites.

I absolutely agree. One having more breadth of courses does not result in quality being better. That being said, each university has its strengths. I'm currently in the process of an LLM at UCL specialising in Law and Economics. Having been accepted for all three universities, the advice of thr careers counsellor during my undergrad really altered my perception. I was gung-ho towards LSE but she mentioned that UCL has a very good program in corporate law, so my decision was swayed. What is everyone else's specialisation?

Dear Kerfuffle: No, I was not cherry picking off courses to prove a point. The point was simply to reply to two statements. Someone had said that the LSE offered more courses overall, and someone else had said that Kings offered more commercial courses. Neither of these statements is true.Fri Oct 02, 2009 08:14 AM I reiterate what I said about the websites: they are informative about the courses on offer, so have a look. .
