Dear all,

I was just admitted in the LLM program in European and Financial Law at the University of Luxembourg. On the one hand I'm very happy (since I've been in Luxembourg a couple of years ago and it seemed to be a great city to live in) but on the other hand I'm a little worried (since the University is quite new and there is not much information about it or about its programs).

Thus , if some of you graduated the aforementioned program, please let me know, because I have a few very urgent questions for you. :) I guarantee that your replies would be of tremendous help and greatly appreciated.


Hoping that I won't use too much of your time

Hey Andreé,

Are you enrolling for the first year or directly to any specialization?

Hello Joan.

I'm enrolling in the second year - Droit bancaire et financier européen

Thank you for your answer.
:)

Great! I will undertake the tax one.

Great! I will undertake the tax one.

And what do you think about the University? what are your expectations after the LLM?

Hi guys,

how are you?I have been admitted to the specialization in "droit bancaire et financier" too!
I have just to submit my English exam!
If you want we can keep in touch to share more information about this programme!

All the best,

danjus

Andrée: I think the University will provide us with a know how with great demand in Luxembourg, there seems to be tons of opotunities after it. What do u think?

Congrats Danjus!

The postgraduate programs offered by the University of Luxembourg do not have a good reputation in the market, Note that financilal institutions and law firms prefer to hire graduate students from French, UK, Belgian and German Universities. I suggest you to attend an LLM either in the UK or France.

Regards,

Sorry, but you are wrong.

I personally graduated in June 2012 (LL.M in European Banking and Financial Law), and am now a lawyer in a Magic Circle law firm in Luxembourg (I was actually hired 6 months before the end of the LL.M programme). Most of my friends and colleagues from that particular programme have jobs as well - law firms, banks, Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Some of my friends who graduated this year have found interships or even jobs as well. I friend of mine started a one month internship in my law firm and was hired directly.

I can't speak for all the LL.M specialisations of course, but I can also tell you that one of my friends who did the European Litigation specialisation was hired by another Magic Circle firm, and my GF got a job a the Court of Justice of the European Union after graduating...

Obviously the programmes in Luxembourg cannot compete with the big names out there yet; but if you want a job in Luxembourg, then the programmes are fine. Since the programmes are taught by the Judges from the CJEU, partners from the biggest law firms, bankers, lawyers from the EIB/EIF etc., you can easily make contacts and find internships/jobs.

Kind regards

Hi everyone,
I am studying in third year LLM Bachelor in Law in Lille.
I am really interesting in the LLM programs of the University of Luxembourg, particularly in the financial one.
I would like to know how selective was the LLM to know if I have a chance to be accepted. And when exactly the university give its response to the applying students?
Kind regards,
Emma
