Hi there,
I have applied for a LLM program in 3 universities in the Netherlands: Erasmus, Groningen and Leiden.
Which one have you heard of as the best one offering LLMs?
Just in case I get admitted by all of them and it becomes really difficult for me to decide .... !! : )

Leiden is the best one! Then Groningen, and the Rotterdam is not so good law school.

Hi again!!
I've been searching on some dutch universities websites and i discovered that the tuition fees are really high in some of them, and much lower on the others. For example, the LLM in International Law is more a less 1,500 in Gronigen, but almost 9,000 in Maastrich and Utrecht, all this if you're EU citizen! How is this possible?? Are the expensive ones so much better than the others??
Thanks!

I have no idea on this difference in tuition fees. I am not a EU citizen and I still have to pay some aproximately 9000 Euros at Groningen too.
In your case, if you have no financial problem with affording 10.000 Euro fees, I'd say you'd better decide depending on the reputation of the universities.

Otherwise go for the cheapest!
Posted Jan 23, 2006 19:44
yeah sure!!
but from what i saw it seems to me that Groningen its really a good choice then - it's the cheapest and it seems it has a really good reputation (http://www.llm-guide.com/board/488 and http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2005/ARWU2005_TopEuro.htm).

Leiden and Groningen are the 2 oldest universities in the Netherlands. Both cities are really crowded with students.
Groningen was considered the best law school in the netherlands in 2005, according to a government ranking: http://www.rug.nl/Rechten/nieuws/
However, Leiden has historically a stronger international law reputation.

And, apart from the reputation of the universities, what about the LLMs on International Law they offer?!?
Which do you recommend?! Leiden or Groningen!?!
Thanks!

Hi again. I am also between Groningen and Leiden, though Leiden is far more expencive than Groningen. 11,750 euros are lots of money. I am also thinking about Amsterdam. I am so confused.....heeeeeelp!!!!!!!
Posted Feb 13, 2006 11:12
I have been admitted to Groningen. I have no reply from Leiden. I think I'll choose Groningen. I don't know what to suggest, pal.
Anyway, I think they're both very reputable universities, so just go ahead and choose one. If you think Leiden is more expensive then you might opt for Groningen.

Hi Geoman, are you Georgian?!
I'd suggest you not to think too much. Just pick Amsterdam. Even though other cities may be calm and student oriented, Amsterdam is the place to spend time.
I'm currently studying at Vrije University .. doing LLM in Commercial and Trade Law.

There is not really a big quality difference in law schools... There is not a particular 'bad' law school, only Leyden and UvA were rated bad for a few years but I think they are working hard to fight back.
At Groningen law school it is hard to pass exams, harder than elsewhere, and domestic law firms seem to like that. Vrije is the Christian (sometimes better rated) university of Amsterdam, but is located further from the city centre than UvA, which is the top choice for Amsterdam-lovers.
International rankings are not to be taken too seriously, I guess it is not really a top priority of law schools in the netherlands to get a high ranking.
