They require some original copies of documents.

Can anyone here please write the exact LSE address of where they should be sent to?

Thanks!

I have applied January 12, but my second reference was received just January 24. So, which is the day that really counts as the submission day: 12 or 24?

Thanks in advance ;)

Just my opinion, but i think it's more likely to be the 24th as it's then that your application would be complete.

As per the LSE web site

"Your application is held in the admissions office whilst we wait for your outstanding documents to be arrive.

Once your application is complete you will receive a final email informing you that your file has been sent to the department. This is the beginning of the selection process. On average, final decisions will be made 6-8 weeks from the time your application is sent to the department."

Hence, your application would be processed on 24th and not 12th.

UCL or LSE for LLM in Public International Law?

It seems to be the general perception, gauged from discussions with several solictors in practice in the UK, that LSE is no longer what it was, and that UCL is a far better option. LSE's global university rankings also leave a lot to be desired - UCL consistently outperfoms it.

Apologies if this is more of the same but I am not inclined to empty my savings account for what may amount to an average LLM.

Does anybody have any insightful comments? How do the two really compare in the LLM field? I accept that LSE has a better name brand globally - but has anybody received feedback as to the quality of the teaching at LSE these days?

I am in the same boat as you, receiving both UCL and LSE offers and not sure how to decide.

My interest areas are public law and human rights law. On the modules it seems UCL has better (and more interesting) choices but its reputation in my country is not to be compared with LSE.

In terms of quality of teaching, I have this feeling that they are at the similar level. In fact I have heard this theory that quite often it is not so much to do with the quality of teaching but the quality of students they accepted to make them a (perceived) great school. This is a chicken and egg situation: you produce the best students because you only take the best ones in the first place.

It follows that, if LSE is in the position to take the best students to study for a UK LLM (or most of them apart from those went to Oxbridge), its leading position will be safe despite whether its "quality of teaching" is deteriorating,

The sad reality (at least in my country) is that, most people, even the legal field as I understand it, tend to ignore what you actually learned from the LLM but to think that "he must be good because that school is difficult to get in."

Hi, I'm in the same position as you (received offers both from LSE and UCL). Regarding to what you wrote - which one of those universities is harder to be accepted to?

I also received an offer from LSE and UCL and really can't decide where to go. Of course LSE is famous for its Economics department etc but if someone's interested in a "classic" Law education wouldn't UCL be the better choice?

Nevertheless I have the same problem... in Italy where I'm from most people would only know LSE.
IMHO - compared to UCL - LSE doesn't offer such a wide range of interesting Law courses. But maybe the few one's they offer are fabulous... who knows...

I'd be thankful if people would share their LSE/UCL-opinions.
