I've made it to both Edinburgh and Kings for international law. Which one is better?

Here is a rank comparison:

World University Rankings
Edinburgh - 22 (world) -14 (law)
King's - 21(world) - 26 (law)

Times Higher Education
Edinburgh - 40 (World) - 16 (law)
King's - 77 (World) - 40 (law)

My questions being:

- Which of the two is better known for its llm?
- Which one is better acknowledged globally?

i'd say they're both roughly comparable. i would choose between them based on a) which of the the specific courses i found most interesting, and b) which of the academics i wanted to work with! congrats on your achievement and good luck with your decision!

I agree with Good Gosh. You must choose based on your interests. As I went to Edi, I can give you info on this, much of which has been posted to other threads. Essentially, Edi's programme is spearheaded by Profs Alan Boyle and Bill Gilmore. Both highly active in both practice and academia. Boyle organises the general International Law course and brings in great people to speak on some subjects, such as Anthony Aust for treaty specific modules, though he himself is a great source of information. There are very strong faculty members in Climate Change and Economic Law as well as other public law areas.
The best thing you can do is look into what the staff on both programmes are doing and what courses are offered and see what peaks your interest. Also look at the extracurricular activities in the field for students. Edi, for example, has a very active reading group on International Law and the Scottish Centre for International Law brings in fantastic speakers throughout the semester.
Plus, Edinburgh quality of life is great!
Good luck with your decision.

I say go for Edinburgh. I think Edinburgh has a stronger public international law program
