LLM Public International Law + Private International Law + Dispute Resolution?


Hello!



I am interested in public international law and would like to gain a solid foundation in that area during my LLM studies. However, I am also very interested in private international law (conflict of laws) and Dispute Resolution (Arbitration).



Is there a program which combines the best out of these 3 worlds? Or something which comes close to that with a substantial content in the three fields?



I would greatly appreciate any recommendations!



Best regards,

Ivo

There are number of law programs offering Public International Law.
If you are looking for affordable programs in Europe, Saarland is a good choice.  Leiden, University of Amsterdam, and Groningen are strong in Public International Law too. I recommend you major in Public International Law. If budget is not your main concern, look up for Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. 

You may be interested in International Investment Law as one of the alternative investment dispute resolutions for investors. It should be the closest to what you would be interested in.

Thank you very much "p" for your help!

The LLM in Saarbrücken was not on my radar. The program looks interesting and it combines private international law and dispute resolution. What lacks is a bit the public international law side, but maybe you could take courses in this field aswell. I will have to ask the program manager.

I am from Germany though, so I would like to spend some time abroad. The program in Leiden offers PIL or Dispute Resolution but has no connection to private international law, as far as I could see. Amsterdam has International Investment law and PIL but no private international law. I will check out Groningen!

Thanks again! And probably I just have to make a compromise...

Thank you for your reply. I'd probably suggest you go for international law instead. With a flexible course structure, you will be able to enroll in many classes as you want. 
The top-notch law graduate program would be the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. 
It is likely that you may have to make a compromise with your interdisciplinary field. I bet you already have some research topic interests. Other schools are Radbound (there is a number of scholarships!!), University of Vienna, and KU Leuven. If you are comfortable with going to Australia, ANU and UniMelb are strong in Public international law as well.

Thank you p again and thank you gatsond!

The KCL programme looks good, but unfortunately it is a bit too pricy for me.

Hello p,

may I ask you again? What do you think of the Leiden Dispute Resolution LLM?

It seems a bit academic to me without many practitioners as lecturers. Do you know if that is true? Do you have on opinion on whether the Saarbrücken program or the Leiden program is better?


Best regards,

Ivo

One of my seniors from my law school graduated from this program if I recall. The cohort consisted of practitioners from many countries. There are field trips in many international organizations. The class is seminar based. From what I heard from his experience, his experience is positive. I have not heard about Saarbruken so far but I know that their public international program is strong.
