Hi,
I graduated in the summer from Warwick Uni with a high 2.2(58.5 %, no they didnt bump it up)studying the LLB for which I got a qualifying degree.
Anyways I am really interested in doing an llm in international law/human rights at some point anywhere in Europe(preferably a good school). right now I am applying to internships and jobs and hope to get something for 2014. I Have done internships at the Council of Europe and in the US at a Public defender's office and volunteered during my time at Uni. the good things is that I have good recommendations from the jobs Ive done and am trilingual in french, english and german. I want to break through in the EU eventually. Do I stand any chance? what are your suggestions?


I don't think the 59.5 will stop you from doing an LLM, in some UK unis the 58,5 is considered a 2:1 anyway! You should try applying to good universities, most of them ask for a 2:1 around 60 tbh!
