Anybody here, who participated in a program at aberdeen law school ? I'm interested in international commercial law, international law and european law.
It would be helpful to get some information about the quality of the different programs - and the workload. I'm also interested in the students structure. Are there mainly people whose mother tongue is english - or also a lot of international people (continental europe, afrika, asia) ?
At last, how about the weather? Especially in the winter - is it hard to take ?
Aberdeen programs?

I can't find the link right now, but if you log into the guardian education guide you will find a table showing the percentage of foreign students at each university in the UK at graduate level...

Hi,
I'm about half way through my LLM in International Commercial Law at Aberdeen (I started in January 2010). The program is not bad, although I do not find that there is much "teaching" per se. It really is much more of a directed studies type program, where you get a reading list and prepare to debate what you read in each class. The class schedule is not very labour intensive: you only do 2 regular classes per module and one "reseach methods" class you get a pass or fail in. The dissertation you do over the summer (I'm about done my first draft) and submit 1 September. Compared to law school in North America, this program is really a walk in the park.
With regards to the mix of students, I find that in my classes I am one of the few whose native laguage is English. There really is a diverse student population here.
