Hi Alessandra and Armando!
I think the publishing it's a very good idea, unfortunately the Lund Uniersity isn't very communicable..... I've tried to get answers via email, but the administrator refused answering them.
It's a very long period until May, and for me it will be a very important decision. I have to quick my job, let my flat, move to an other country.....it needs time ....

Hey Alessandra and Esther,
I know, we r all getting a little frustrated with the long wait...It is just the way things work I guess. We'll just have to go with the flow...
Alessandra, I'm from El Salvador but I got my law degree from a Canadian University.
Anyway, good luck again...we'll be in touch
Hey Armando,
So you're from Central America? Nice! I've heard your country is very beautiful. I have some relatives living in Toronto. What about Canada? Are there good LLM in Human Rights area in Canada?

Hello Esther, Alessandra and Esther,
I'm from Turkey and I applied to the human rights LLM as well. I just want to add that the administration at Lund Uni does not confirm acceptance of any documentation received. So, don't waste your time to try to receive a reply. I think that we will receive a final response in june.
Good luck to you all

No worries cigdem! I got it...I knew you meant me ...lol
And Alessandra...Yeah, there are pretty good LLM programmes in Canada but I need a change. I also want to get as much international education and/or experiences as I can. The no tuition thing at Lund is a pretty big incentive too. And I have a swedish friend who is doing her undergrad at Lund. I also like the fact that pretty much everyone who I've talked to knows about their human rights programme, it seems to have a very good reputation.
Esther, I checked their wesbsite again and it says you can work in Sweden with a student visa, although they don't recommend it because of the heavy work load.

do you know (anybody) how much lessons will students have at the LLM Programme per week?
Posted Mar 01, 2007 23:29
Hi Satine, I don't know anybody doing the LLM. The girl I know is doing her undergrad. I don't have any idea how many courses you have to take in the LLM. Sorry

Hello again,
Last year, I met someone from Lund Uni. He told me that most of the students taken at the LLM are foreigners. So, I think that you guys have big chance. However, I advice you to apply to other LLM programmes as well. I know that Essex and Leiden have a good reputation too. But of course, there are quite expensive tuition fees.

Guys, my brother went to Lund three years ago and describes it as the best kept secret in the academic world. The LL.M class was only 26, mainly from Sweden and around the world. I must caution that you don't start out with this amount of students as the graduate law course is part of a wider programme including politics, business studies and economics. Consequently, expect around 60 students in the beginning, before you branch into your specialist field sometime in the first semester. The idea, I think, is to ensure that you are truly given a proper education. I can confirm that Lund is a great city and Swedish girls...ooh mama mia!!!

thanks for the information. maybe I'm to tired now, but I didn't understand your opinion... I mean what is the conclusion? Is it worth it? To move there and quir my job here? That's my biggest question. So around 60 students. So we should no the number of the applicants! Sorry, to much question for Friday... :-)))

I have no opinion on your situation, just telling you about the Lund experience. As with life in general, take your chances and see what comes off it!!
Posted Mar 02, 2007 19:29
Yes, I know, it's my decision, but I couldn't deceid whether your opinion is positiv or or negativ. Maybe the expression "best kept secret in the academic world" wasn't clear for me, but it's my falut of course. Wold You please explain it to me? :-)))
Thanx a lot!
Esther

Esther,
It depends on what you expect from the future on a professionnal basis. Most of the job opportunities at the UN for intance require a master degree and job experience of at least 5 years. Have a look at the employment website of different international organisations. You'll see if it's necessary or not. As to me, I prefer to have an LLM degree next year, because it's very difficult to study again when you get older. So, here is my point: if you really want to have a master degree, then do it next year because it will be more difficult to return in the classrooms later.

Esther, I've heard there are just a few classes during the week (two classes of two hours twice a week), but there is too much to read.

Oh, so we're two trying to get international education and/or experience. No tuition fee, excelent education, etc... that's what makes Lund my first option. But I'd like to try LLM in Human Rights Law in other places too. Can you indicate me some Uni in Canada?

Hello,
I've already a master degree. By us the the faculty of law gives you a master degree, because the programme is 5 years long. I'm very interested in human rights and I would like to find a job in this field. I've work experience as well, but not exactly in connection with HR. I hope that a HR LLM would be a great adventage when I want to get a job at the UN or other international organisations. But maybe I'm wrong... :(( Or I'm a dreamhunter :-))
Yes Alessandra, I found at the website, that there is 2 subject per semester. (2 lessons per week)

I haven't heard anything from them either. It is crazy because there are so many things we have to do. We also have to look for other options if we don't get in. I think we should all send them an e-mail and ask them if we are supposed to register for housing even if we haven't been accepted yet.
