Hello current or ex LLM students,
Which LLM subjects are most difficult and time consuming in your view? I've heard from some students that commercial/business/economic law is more difficult than human rights, criminal or gender law; But then, others did claim just the opposite.

Kind regards,

I' heard about human rights that sometimes it's a lot of "bla bla bla" and discussing everything - not that kind of learning what some lawyers are usually used to.

maybe not a subject für students who want hard facts, but that is not my own impression - just what someone told me.

I don't know. I think you can find courses which are easier than others. I wouldn't be comfortable making generalizations, however. You can sometimes get a sense of how a course will be by looking at past exams or from the course format otherwise. A lot of it has to do with your own aptitude and the kind of course you prefer. Some courses that others have found "easy", I've found frustrating because of the way they are instructed. At times I've also found courses "easy" simply because the area of law is organized logically or because it was presented in a logical way. But, again, "logical" is "logical to me", and that's an individual perspective.

By the time you get to an LL.M. program, you have too much educational experience to be able to make a general statement about what is generally easy and what is generally difficult. The fact that you're coming to the LL.M. with past training is going to make it a different experience for just about everyone. That's not to say you shouldn't discuss it with friends or bat it about in the comments here, because you will come across people who are very similar to you in terms of their education and how they think; but it is to say that you sort of have to know whether someone is of a like mind. That's my opinion, anyway.
