Guys,

Let's discuss any topic relating to 2017-2018 applications here, and hopefully get through it together!

I wonder why we have to provide the TOEFL/IELTS as early as December. As far as I can see other universities as LSE are more generous and let students send in their results till June, July or even later. I´ve never done the TOEFL before and will try it for the first time in Oct. So there´s a lot of uncertainty for me.

Otherwise it will be very interesting to see if Brexit affects the number of applicants from continental Europe.

Thanks for creating this thread!

I was wondering who other people choose as their referees. The Cambridge website says that, as an undergraduate student, you need to ask a tutor from your own course, but everybody keeps telling me that I should ask the most prominent people I could possibly ask, and definitely no tutors.

Also, anybody applying for the Oxford BCL/MJur as well?

Hi guys! I am looking to apply for LLM in the UK for the 2017-18 session. Any idea when the applications will be opened?

@Ayushi Kundu, applications for the Cambridge LLM are open already!

@ Pjoedie Hi. Could you kindly elaborate on what you mean by no tutors? I thought the referees were supposed to be lecturers who have taught us and are familiar with our academic abilities. Thanks for your help.

Hey guys, my name is Alfie (pretty obvious but I like to start off like that lool). I'm a third year law student at Lancaster University Ghana and I'm projected to graduate in July 2017. Lancaster Ghana is a branch campus of Lancaster University in the UK. I am studying a hybrid English and Ghanaian LL.B. However, my degree is awarded by Lancs UK and theoretically has the same value as it would if I had studied my modules in the UK. In my first and second years I was a first class scholar consistently ranked in the top 3 in my class and top five in the entire university. I intend to apply for the Cambridge 2017 llm (that why I'm on the page, you know. Lool) but I dunno what my chances realistically are especially considering the fact that it may be imperative that I get awarded a scholarship in order to fund my llm. So please please please is there anyone else in the same boat or anyone who has advice for me? And also, I'm not exactly sure if I have to write IELTS because I have a Cambridge O level certificate and I achieved an A in English language. Thanks Guys.

Hi to everyone
I have a more general question about the Cambridge LLM. Maybe someone who did the course or the quite similar MJUR Course at Oxford can answer it.
How difficult is the Cambridge LLM? I mean how much do you have to study? How many students fail their exams? I am aware of the fact that it will not be easy, but is it really about studying day and night? Or do you have enough time for college activites or some type of sport?

Hi Alfie. I think you may have to write IELTS or TOEFL. However, you should follow the information on the Cambridge website and not what anyone says. It might be best to email Cambridge if you're unsure. I think you have a good chance of getting into Cambridge. For scholarships, you should apply for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship and the Commonwealth Scholarship. Be sure to read their terms and conditions.

Hi everyone,

I have a questions about colleges in Cambridge. On the website they mention that some of the colleges are wealthier than the others so are able to provide more scholarships. However I could not find to where I should look for that particular information. I would much appreciate if you can tell me some tips on this.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm not completely sure, but the Cambridge website states: "A tutor from your Undergraduate degree course." (http://www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/how-do-i-apply/supporting-documentation/academic-references). In my university, "tutor" means someone who teaches tutorials, and this is a much less prominent position than "lecturer." That's why I was confused. Anyone who can clear this up?

Hey Adebolaxx. Thank you very much for your reply. Are you considering an LLM or have you studied for one already. And just out of curiosity, are you Nigerian? I am.
