Any comments on Clare Hall?
I know someone who completed the LLM as a member of Clare Hall several years ago. She loved the college--friendly people, good food, nice accommodations. It's also where I will be living!

I just got accepted into Wolfson College. Has anyone received funding decisions yet?
I haven't of any but I emailed Cambridge Trust to find out if I was being considered for funding and received a prompt response. You could try checking with the college directly.

Guys I have a question please.. I received an offer for LLM but I almost failed to get any scholarships (so far). do you think I should pay the whole fees, which will amount to about one million Egyptian Pound, which is a large amount in Egypt, especially relative to my family's and my abilities. Thus I am trying to assess the benefits and costs of paying for the LLM, doing a sort of cost benefit analysis. I wish to know how much the LLM from Cambridge will affect my career, both academically and professionally. I am a teaching assistant in a top Egyptian university and an arbitration lawyer in a top law firm in Egypt.
Professionally, will the LLM make it easier to work in a law firm in Europe (especially in the UK)? or working in top law firms there needs much more than an LLM even from Cambridge? will I have to take internships first before I have a job? I have three years of experience in arbitration in Egypt.
Academically, will the LLM make it easier to be admitted for PhD in Cambridge or other top universities? or one can be admitted even without an LLM, taking into consideration that I already have a masters degree from my Egyptian university
Alternatively, if I choose to re-apply next year, how will my rejection of the current offer affect my next application?
sorry for such a long question, and I appreciate your advice :)

This is my honest view as a former LLM student at Cambridge.
Cambridge is worth every single investment you will make in it. Always remember that Cambridge is Cambridge and that the masters degree you will have from Egypt will never count towards a job search in Europe, unfortunately. 99 out of every 100 people will probably have never heard about it and clearly it will not be on the rankings table to start with.
It is therefore important to look at Cambridge, in this specific case, as the only degree that will count.
However, you have to note that an LLM does not make it easier for you as an international student to get a job in the UK because of the immigration restrictions that are in place that require certain tests to be undertaken before recruitment of an international student. The UK legal system has the concept of a training contract which would mean 2 years of a training contract (more like an internship) before you are even considered for an associate role.
If you do get a first class LLM, it may be easier to get an associate role with your work experience. However I noticed that even in such cases, firms generally took students from countries where they have business connections e.g, India, Australia, Singapore, Japan etc. Being from Egypt may put you at a disadvantage on this front. Also, remeber that the UK Legal system is divided into barristers and solicitors and the system of admission to both is very different. You need to consider this carefully.
On the academia side however, absolutely yes. You will neeed that LLM to be admitted to a reputable PHD programme in Europe. It helps to have Cambridge on your transcript when trying to pursue a PHD. However if you want to return to Cambridge for a PHD, you will need to get a 1st class in the LLM. This one is a must. Do not forget it.
Lastly, if you reapply next year, a rejection of an offer will not affect you. Just be polite enough to drop an email to Suzan Wade and explain that you could not afford the fees and will reapply next year.
PS: If you can get the money, take the risk and enrol. Cambridge is a once in a lifetime opportunity that may never return.

@legalLife thank you so so much.. you gave me the encouragement that I needed just in the right time :)
One last question.. you stated jobs in UK law firms.. is having a job (associate role) in a law firm anywhere else in Europe (like France or Germany for instance) as difficult as in the UK? do they have similar requirements regarding international students?
Many thanks again.

For the rest of Europe, you need to be fluent in their language. In addition, you need to be enroled to practice in those countries as well. So if you are fluent in French or Germany, then absolutely give it a chance. The reason why I mentioned UK is because there is a possibility of doing the QLTS tests which quslify you to practice as a solicitor without taking the TC route.

Hi,
have you heard whether Cambridge and/or Oxford are offering places at LLM and/or MLitt programmes for those who already have LLM or PhD from another university? Any informed comments appreciated even if not answering the question directly.
I think it's possible - at least there were two comments in the current Offer Holders Facebook Group by persons who appeared to study for a LL.M. degree this year. Otherwise, just send an email to the Law Faculty?

Yes they do. It is routine to find LLM students at Cambridge who already have an LLM from elsewhere or even a PHD.
