hey everybody
i've been admitted at leiden university, but i cant decide at the moment i'm waiting answers from other unis.
does anyone have some suggestions about the llm in leiden
thanks a lot

hi ! Leiden LL.M. is very good . It has great vaue. Further it has top notch faculties and staff. But can u be more specific so as to in which particular line you are planning to pursue LLM . Once it is known then i may give u better idea. But in general LL.M. in Leiden is perfect.

i've been accepted by leiden, utrecht and some colleges in london. am intending to read llm in public international law. please advise which school will be a better choice.

I've just been admitted to Leiden ont the LLM European Law. Quite a surprise, they only require of me that I graduate in my French university in July.
Does anyone know whether Leiden is a good choice in EU Law? I know it enjoys a high reputation, but according to a law lecturer I talked to recently, Leiden is a bit "on the drop", in his words.

How does it compare to London universities? I mean the King's, UCL etc.

as I said before, I was admitted too at the LLM in european business law. people who are studying there told me good things about the program, professors and evironment.
i'm waiting admission results also from utrech, rotterdam and leuven, but i'm well oriented to leiden. untill now i've heard good judgements about the european law in leiden

bubble,
i would choose utrecht for int.law

Not so sure, I have heard many good things about leiden in PIL. The LLM is co-directed by John Dugard and Nico Schrijver, both of which are good experts. The staff generally look good too. Plus Leiden is located a few miles away from The Hague.

As far as international law is concerned, I would rather recommend Leiden. but I guess this is all about the good old Leiden-Utrecht rivalry. And since I've been admitted to Leiden (but I'm still awaiting a reply from Utrecht), I might well be slightly biased...

why would you suggest utrecht for intl law?

Now Utrecht have admitted me as well to study in their European Law LLM. The godd old classical choice between Leiden and Utrecht is back again...
Do any of you know whether Utrecht is better than Leiden in EU Law? Leiden have the Common Market Law Review and a European law centre, and only require me to pay the home fees (1500 euros), whereas the UU fees are 9 000 euros. IS there any big gap between both unis in EU Law?

etienne,
I would choose leiden. I've applied to utrecht too, but I'll choose leiden because the EU business law programme (that's my option) is more specifithan a general EUlaw programme like the one in Utrecht. It depends on what you are looking for and what you need from the llm. The CML Rev. is just something more, but no so relevant.
good luck

I'm actually applying for the LL.M. in European Law, not EU Business Law (but one of my friends will attend it). I can't see any big difference between Utrecht and Leiden as to the level of their respective general European Law programmes. It is just that UU allows for a wider range of courses, but I'm actually more looking for the classical EU law courses, which are all in Leiden's LL.M.
The fees will make the choice: Leiden it will be, then.

Good choice, so see u in leiden!
I've been admitted too at uu, but it was since the beginning the second choice.
I'm still waiting an answer from the colege d'europe, but I'm honest, it will be very difficult.
good luck for your studies.

Hi, everyone!
Im currently studying at Leiden University, Adv. European Business Law. What I can say?
This place is very good. Programme definitely high-level; very qualified academic staff (Tax Law, WTO Law, Competition Law, etc.) One of the best scholars of Europe are teaching here. Moreover the course is very-very tuff and busy. Its not a good idea to come to Leiden to get a fun! Be sure.
But what I like best of all is that teachers are current practitioners on theirs fields (International Arbitration, WTO Law, etc.)
By the way, recently I had Moot Arbitration in Peace Palace (the Hague) where Permanent Court of Arbitration located. And the president arbitrator was Marten Hunter!
At least sun is shining in Leiden!!! ; )

Hi kemal

I was admitted in leiden in European Law, but it is not what they call an "international master", even though they still call it an LLM (it's not the same as the EU Business Law one). From what I have heard so far, it is a good program, but I still have doubts: do you know people studying on that Master? Is it worth it?

Hi,
I advise you to contact to one of the coordinators. They will forward your request to students.

hi,
