Does anyone know when the courses for 2005-2006 will be listed for the Oxford BCL?

Expected course availability in 2005-6 will be shown from around May 2005, and a final list will be available in September 2005.

In case anyone's interested, the course list for 2005-2006 has been posted on Oxford's Faculty of Law website.

Corporate finance is back but no corporate insolvency. I'm a bit disappointed actually. Maybe I'll go to Cambridge after all.

Hi Joseph,

Yes I've heard that the Cambridge LLM is the better option if you are considering courses of a corporate nature. However, it does mean you miss out on the Global Comparative Financial Law course that is apparently amazingly taught by Philip Wood (but if you were not considering taking that course anyway then no harm considering Cambridge further at this point).

Did you see my other post to you and campos re: the Yale waiting list?

Which colleges have you got offers from at Cambridge/Oxford respectively?

Doesn't Wood teach the Cambridge course as well?

I was a bit worried about the caps - 35 for most courses, and lower for some (esp. Intl. Dispute Settlement (35) and Intl. Law and Armed Conflicts (20)) - does anyone have a sense of whether it is likely that these caps would be met or exceeded and that it would be a problem to get into these courses? (it seems like most of those who are going to Oxford are more corporate in focus, so perhaps not) . .

Yes Wood does have a visiting position at Cambridge but apparently his main focus is the GCFL course for the BCL. Last year he just did the general lectures at Cambridge and tutorials were done by other professors on the course.

Yes - no "tutorials" in the traditional sense of the word - they call them seminars which are actually offered for most courses as I have been told by a student who did the LLM 2 years ago. Although these seminars are fairly large in number - 15-20 students at a minimum. This is what I was referring to.

Are there seminars for all the courses at Cambridge or just the last three or four in the list, which are labelled "Seminar"?
