Finally, if you want to consider all the LLM programs EUwide, I think we are just missing the LLm at the College of Europe, where many renowned professors and practicioners -besides a unique network if you want to end up in EU affairs- and the LLM in Ip/Competition law at the University of Liege, where you would have good training on this specific subject area. Note, though, that both these programs are bilingual, meaning that a good knowledge of the French language is necessary.
Hope this helps

Not sure for the marketability of the LLM at the University of Liege, sorry. I have looked at it more from an academic viewpoint, like I did with LSE.
Best of luck with your applications

When you say:
But competition (in competition law LLMs) is fierceDo you mean that competition to get into the program, or competition within the program (once you are admitted), is fierce? And how might it be different at KCL than a school like LSE?
Thanks!

I don't know much about KCL/LSE admission process, I only know the names of the academics who teach there...and for that KCL seems better, unless you want to focus on competition economics.
One thing that I can say about the admission process, though, is that to enter into LSE you need a 115 score in the TOEFL, which is quite an amazing score...over 120!I think they are a bit exagerating there.

In my opinion, Ulg (Liège, Belgium) LLM is a good one for at least three reasons.
Firstly, due to its proximity to Brussels and the European Institutions, the course boasts a team of eminent practitionners and academics in the field.
Secondly, this LLM is tailored to needs of the profession and provides practical training so that students are prepared fo immediate entry into a demanding international workforce.
And thirdly, the comprehensive teaching, the multi-disciplinay training, the assistance with drafting your CV, securing internship and publishing your work are valuable assets you will be sure to find in this LLM.
And this is really like that on the field.
I hope this will help u.
Please don't hesitate for further information on this LLM.

it's obvious that the courses really go into great detail. Plus, both Prof. Whish and Prof. Jones and Prof. Biondi are famous experts concerning this field of law.

Kings is known for Competition Law, but UCL is very strong in this area. Kings does not offer more courses than UCL. The LSE does not offer a Competition law specialism. Queen Mary does.

Here is a link to KCL's website, with the information on the LLM in Competition Law:
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/law/prospective/grad/llm/competitionpath
It is worth listening to the podcast recorded by Professor Whish.
As you will see, there are several modules you can choose from, all of which are very interesting. The EC Competition Law, Economics for Competition Law and Competition Law & Regulated Network Industries are the best, in my opinion... but it all depends of what you want to do afterwards.
All of the modules are coordinated and what you learn in one will surely complement what you are doing in another class.
Take a look at the profiles of the lecturers, which can help you make up your mind. For example, Ecomomics is given by a former chief economist of the UK's Office of Fair Trading; you get first hand knowledge on how economics are used by a competition authority.
Other universities in London like UCL and City are good. But in my (of course byassed) opinion, King's ranks first.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I cannot promise a fast answer, as the reading here is very time demanding.
Cheers,
Patricio

for competition law, there is only one place to go: KCL and Richard Wish.

The best for law and economics are probably UEA (UK), LSE (UK) and Tilburg (Netherlands) with intensive teaching.
That said, if you want a degree and a job, you probably don't want to be that stretched - so standard 'marquee name' courses will be better. Any of your options offers that.

no offense , but you got it all wrong. Ask anyone in the field,
for competition law, there is only one place to go: KCL and Richard Wish.
What a joke ?!
I agree that Professor Richard Wish is well-known, that he is probably an eminent academic in European law, and that he wrote many books (well, it is his business after all).
However does that sole presence of professor Wish determine the value of an education programme ?
To know the true value of an education programme, you have assess the value of the whole faculty, not only of one teacher.
Furthermore, I would add that places like the Kings College of London (KCL) or the College of Europe are often overrated. Yes, they have big reputations and big names. But what is the interest in having famous teachers who have no time to answer your questions or to talk with the students at the end of the course because "he has most important concerns" ?
Eminent scholars and practitioners lecture in other universities too.
Personally, I have followed the LL.M. in European Competition and IP law of the Institute of European Legal Studies (which is also located in Belgium), and I really don't regret it ! The faculty is composed of an international team of leading practitioners as well, but who are more accessibles than in many other places. The courses are practice-oriented, demanding and provide to the students the opportunity to acquire a good knowledge on both IP and competition law.
(And last but not least, the LL.M. of the Institute of European Legal Studies is affordable - You don't have to pay an average of 30.000 euros for an academic year).
