Hi,

I am planning to do a LLM in international taxation from UK/ Europe. I have looked at a few schools based on rankings but I am new to do this and not sure how I should be evaluating these schools. I am a Chartered Accountant from India and also have a 3 year Law degree (Law) plus a decade's experience in taxation. My primary objective for doing a LLM in international taxation to study international taxation in an international setting. Having worked for all this while, I am looking for an enriching change for a year. And, post this if possible get a job in Europe.

Can anyone kindly let me know how I should go about evaluating the schools or which schools I should be looking at?

Thanks & regards,

Please take a look at the top ten list of this website. That should be a good start. I can only give you a general view as someone who was in your position, looking for international tax program.  WU in Vienna and in UvA in Amsterdam are well renowned. There are also many good international tax program in the Netherlands. You should check the course catalogue whether any of those courses are your preference or not. 

Talking about UK, many of my friends went to QMUL and King’s. The feedback is positive. I find that QMUL does provide a variety of courses in terms of tax laws. 

If I were you, I would apply to UvA, WU, and QMUL. Any alumni’s view should be helpful.
