I've been accepted in Groningen and Tilburg and I'm still waiting to hear from Utrecht.

Is there anyone else going to the Netherlands for 2009 - 2010?

I am considering Utrecht... but I am not sure yet...

Hey LookingforLLM:

I am also undecided on which university to go. when did you receive your acceptance notice from Utrecht?, they told me they woud make a decision until april.

Hey!!!
I received the response back in December, as I applied for Utrecht very early...
I am still considering other options... I have also been accepted in Nottingham, but I don't know which one is best. I am still waiting LSE too... I havent decided at all...
How about you?

Hey I only applied to unis in the netherlands, but i still have to make a decision. Good luck with LSE¡

I've been accepted in Tilburg, still waiting from Utrecht, Leiden and Amsterdam,

Does anyone know which one would have the best LLM Program and is better ranked: Utrecht or Tilburg?

hey i have got the admission in Grongen but i dont have scholarship yet.any clue

Congratulations to all on your acceptances. Does anyone knows the pros and cons of each university?, I understand that the academic level of all the dutch universities are similar and therefore it's very hard to make a decision.

Thanks.
Yesterday i spoke with one of my professors eho happened to be in Geneva by now as me, that Grongen and Ultrich are best unis for law.
Any help 4 scholarships
regards

Hello. I found accidentally this topic and read Your posts with great interest, since we face familiar problems. I have been admitted to Nottingham, Newcastle, Leeds (and waiting for Edinburgh) in UK, and Groningen (waiting for Tilburg) in Netherlands. And I'm completely at a loss. Both Unis in Netherlands look very appealing. I read that Tilburg is extremely highly ranked in terms of Economics (best in Europe) and Law (second in whole Europe according to Times). With unbelievably low tuition fees Holland seems a great place. I have two questions and would be grateful if You share Your opinions. First, how long does it take for Tilburg to make a decision? They have received my docs on Jan. 16. Second, do You think LLM degree in one of those Uni can help in my route to PhD degree?

Hey Zathanel, Tilburg was very fast to give me an answer (about a week after they received my documentation), maybe you should send them an e-mail to check on the status of your application. Good luck

Vicencia, thanks for your references on Groningen and Utrecht, I don't really have any special information on scholarship, but maybe you can find somenthing on www.nuffic.nl they have such kind of information.

I have applied to the LLM in Law and Economics for Utrecht. I didn t apply to any other University, I hope I made a good choice. Anyone applied to the same LLM?

Is there anyone else going to the Netherlands for 2009 - 2010?

Well, I received an offer from Tilburg few days ago. Fantastic people are working there in my opinion. As I haven't decided yet I think Tilburg is a great option. I ponder about job prospects after completing it's LLM programme, though.

Hi All!
I have been conditionally admitted to Amsterdam Law School. Is there anybody who had applied too?

hi there. I am Filipino lawyer. I applied for a scholarship in Utrecht but havent got a word yet. Anyone here who applied for Oxfam Novib? Anyone here who is a recipient of scholarship at Utrecht?

Hello,

I have been accepted to Amsterdam on the LLM EU Business Law. I chose this for 2 reasons:

1) Amsterdam is the best ranked university in NL
2) I think job prospects after graduation are higher with an LLM from AMsterdam (prestigious and well know) as oppose to Tilmburg (very good but still lacks a reputation).

Your thoughts? should I also apply to Tilburg?

Hi there,
I've been accepted by Tilburg for the IEPL LLM programme. They've moved fast and according to their website and Dutch ratings, they are among the best in Europe.
My problem resides in the fact that according to some of their LLM students (opinions expressed on student forums) there seems to be a problem with accommodation. I plan to take my family for the duration of the LLM studies. Can anyone help me out with some suggestions on how to find and secure a cheap 2 bedroom studio or apartment for one year? Also, is there somebody who can tell me more about this university from personal experience? I am open to any ideas.

The problem with Tilburg is; I do not see it on any rankings. Groningen, A'dam, Leiden and Utrecht all appear; but not Tilburg. Due to this, I worry about future employment prospects as if it does not have the renound reputation; employers may not respect the LLM. Any thoughts?

I agree that it might present a problem with potential employers, but I plan to pursue with a PhD in International law, that might not be at UvT. While in the LLM programme I will asses the PhD options offered by the ranked universities and I will apply to the one that will suit my purpose.

Still, on the this link : http://www.llm-guide.com/university/542/tilburg-university, it states:
"Law School
On the international level, the Faculty ranks first in Europe in the Social Science Research Network, and is increasingly successful in obtaining European research grants. Some of the leading Law Faculties in Europe and the US belong to the Facultys international network. Its partners include Georgetown, Sorbonne, Science Po, Bocconi, Heidelberg, and Queen Mary and Westfield."
Any opinions on this?
