Hi Amy and Steph
Its been so many years since applying to Lund.What are u guys up to.I decided to take on an LLM in trade and IP ,i find the combination exciting.Ciao.

Hi, everyone! At last i also received an offer from Lund for LLM in HRs and IP. I already decided to accept the offer from Essex university, UK, then i suddenly received e-mail from Lund. Lund was my first priority, so i'm really happy and decided to accept it. But i still have some questions, i read on Lund website that studying starts August 31, but August 21 it's going to be some kind of meeting, but arrival day is August 16. Are you going to come so early? Has someone applied for Orientation program and Swedish language course week for International students? Have they really accepted just 15 students for LLM in HRs and IP? BUt it looks like that first semester all three LLM programs have similar subjects.
See you soon, Lea

Congratulations Lea.
When did you hear from them? This means that you can live with your boyfriend I guess?
I think the pages you got the info from were the International Students pages. I think this is just for 'exchange students' but it might be an idea to ask Hanna to check. The official letters I got from Lund say that registration is 31st August and doesn't mention anything before then.
The first semester subjects are exactly the same for all HRs subjects. They usually only admit around 15 students for HRs and IP and according to the list I have they only admitted 12 this year.
Congratulations again!
Steph

hello,

I have some question about the LLM Programme in HR at the Lund University. I read az its homepage, that there : "Lunnd University is a state university, and according to the Swedish legislation it is not allowed to charge the students for the courses.
However, students have to pay an obligatory membership fee to the Students Association, totalling approximately 300 SEK per semester "
Does it go for foreign students (EU) as well??
And what are the criteria at the application. I mean which students are favoured? I have a master degree at the best hungarian iniversity and I study there actually as a Phd student. What are my chances?
thanks

S.

hello everyone

i have been accepted to the lund hr llm myself and am quite glad to have found some of my future colleagues. by the way, congratulations! :)

i sincerely hope we can share useful information on residence procedures, accomodation, travel arrangements etc.

i'm thinking a yahoo group would be a good idea. send me a personal message if you're interested.

Hi Satine,
EU students don't have to pay fees to go to uni in Sweden but they do have to pay the 300 SEK to the students' association (300sek is nothing when you consider that you get a free education).
As far as I can 't tell there isn't anything that they look for apart from a solid interest in Human Rights. I think they just look at each student's individual merits and make an assessment on that. I only have an LLB but I have done quite a lot of Human Rights based work experience. I know in the past they have admitted students that have worked as lawyers with little, if any, HRs experience and they have accepted people on mainly their academic qualifications.
In other words the criteria is a good statement of purpose.
I think one thing they will wonder about is why you want to do an LLM when you are already doing a Phd. Is your Phd on something HRs related?
I hope that this was helpful.
Steph

Dear Steph,

Thanks for your answer, you've helped me a lot!
I have actually suspended my phd studies, and my theme is of course related with HR. :)
I haven't got many experience, but set purpose!
I hope, one day I'll be a Lund student as well......
thanks a lot

Hi everybody,

I've just received an email from Lund telling me I was accepted for the LLM at Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights, but I didn't receive the letter by post yet. My main concern now is get the visa (I'm from Brazil), since it takes 8 weeks (!!) to be delivered. It's SO good to see people who is going to be my classmates. I've applied for accomodation and orientation guide and everything, so i'm reall in doubt about when to arrive in Lund. August 16th? 21th? 31th? Any idea? Does someone know when they let you know if there's accomodation for you? Have I any chances being number 26100?
A big hug to all,
Ulysses.

Hey Lea,
I think the Swedish course is just compulsory for the scholarship people- although I would like to learn Swedish. I couldn't find the link though. Can you send it to me?
Shouldn't we continue this conversation on Yahoogroups?

The programme at the University of Geneva isn't in human rights law per se, nor is it an LL.M. programme exactly. First, it offers a degree in humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict), not human rights law. Secondly, it no longer offers an LL.M., but a 'Master in Advanced Studies', which is regarded as the equivelant of an LL.M.

As far as its reputation: for those interested in humanitarian law in particular, it provides excellent instruction and career opportunities. Because of its proximity to the ICRC (also located in Geneva), many of the world's foremost scholars in this field research there. It is also affiliated offically with the ICRC, which provides students with opportunities not available at locations more distant from Geneva.

Hi,
Withought an international law previous experience (only a bachelor degree in law), do you think it would be quite easy to find a job in the field after the graduation of the programm at University if Geneva?

Tks,

Daniela

Hi,
My name is Ranyta Yusran and I come from Indonesia. I've been accepted in the international human rights law program in Lund university. But I'm a bit confused now since I cannot track down my housing application progress in the University's website (my name is not in it and I've already sent the pre-registration form) neither the faculty administrator nor the RWI administrator can help me in this matter. Up untill now, I haven't got a place to stay in Lund (I've also had put announcement in the Bopoolen website but I haven't got any reply). Do you guys have any suggestion on this issue?
Thank you

Regards,

Ranyta

Hi everyone!
I am a 4th year student majoring in economics. I am thinking of applying for the international human rights programme in Lund University. I'd like to learn whether only students with very high GPAs are accepted. My cumulative GPA is about 2.90, what are yours? Do you think that my GPA is low? I do not have any publications, I have written a few articles so far, but they haven't been published given that I am still an undergraduate student. I wonder what my chances are of being accepted.
Thanks in advance,
Seyhan.
