I have been admitted to an llm programme in European and Comparative Law.I am really interested in the topic and have some other reasons to study it. But I don't know where I can work after graduation. I am aware of some possibilities like working in nationwide governmental institutions but I want to work privately,I mean in a law firm as an attorney or consultant.

Does anybody know the working areas and possibilities after graduating from such a program?

Also are there other people studying such a programme and what are their reasons to study it?

The answers are really important for me.Thanks to everyone.

As a specialist in European law you would be able to work for any company that has connections or relations with the EU. Also , if you're a European citizen , you would get the chance to work in European capitals on european cases . I live in luxembourg and i can tell you that the search for English-speaking lawyers/jurists is desperate and constant .

It is really a satifactory answer,thank you.

I am not a citizen of Eu member state,I am from Turkey.So we can only go to European Court of Human Rights and human rights is not a subject that I want to study.

Can you please explain the other option a little bit more?
For the companies having relations with EU,are the jurists work as consultants?

Do you happen to know what are the possibilities of fonding a job in Europe after the graduation? Are there any internship offered?
Do you have any other info of how to get a job when you are not a EU citizen?
Are there big possibilities though to find a job in a International Organization and if so, which are the legal fields where we could easily find a job?
I live in Canada now, but willing to relocate in Europe.

Thanks,

Daniela

normally a big part of he course will be about competition law (that is ruled by EU) so u could work with that

Hi!
As far as I know, in what regards European law, you have to ask yourself who's the employer. If the employer is a European institution (the Comission, Parliament, OHIM, etc.) citizenship of a EU member state is required. But, if the employer is a private institution, company, law firm, etc., you will just have to face the market. In some cases employers might want to have a "european" lawyer, but, in some cases, they might look for a cocktail of education and experience, so they might favour a lawyer with european and, let's say, canadian experience.
Regarding internship, EU institutions generally require EU citizenship, but in many cases they mention that they might consider applicants from a candidate state. And Turkey is one of them.
