I will be graduating next summer from a non-law bachelor called European studies, an interdisciplinary course of law, economics and politics focused on the EU/ European market. Throughout the program I realized that the law component interests me the most, which made me looking for European Law Master programs now to apply to (there are some highly ranked universities in the Netherlands which offer EU Law Master programs to non-law graduates). However, while doing some research on this webpage, I read that UK universities offer a 2 years graduate llb program, which made me thinking that it might a good opportunity to built up a stonger law foundation before doing an llm (or a LPC). I would appreciate if you could give me some advice on the following questions.
Is really worth it to invest another 2 years of university study when I could do a ll.m straight away?
What is your opinion on the job perspective after having done a non-law bachelor and a llm? Will EU law companies (for instance in Brussels) or EU institutions rather want someone with a ll.b & ll.m or is a llm sufficient for getting a good job?
I will be graduating from my first bachelor with 24. Since this is quite old in comparison to other bachelor graduates, would you advice me to do the llm straight away instead of investing two more years in a graduate llb?
Any opinion on one of these points would be really helpful!
Best regards!
