Could someone please tell me as to what is the quality of this course and how does it compare with QM/KC/UCL/SOAS?

The institutions you list are all quite similar at first glance, but when you look in to the approach to research and teaching in the subjects covered by the tutors in each place you will see many differences.

The standard of intellectual property postgraduate research and tuition here at Edinburgh School of Law is very high, but I should say I work alongside Professor Hector MacQueen, Professor Graeme Laurie, Dr. Charlotte Waelde and Mr Andres Guadamuz at the School of Law here at Edinburgh, so I'm not ubiaised.

Try googling their research and see if you like what you see. They are co-directors in the AHRC Research Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law, and their cutting-edge research is input directly in to the course material they teach, so it's up-to-the-minute learning. More often than not a quick look through the morning newspapers will reveal headlines directly relevant to the subjects you are studying, it can make such a difference to have such a range of fresh subjects to study.

The focus of their classes may be different from the other institutions you have listed, so it would be worth checking The University of Edinburgh LLM course syllabi here: http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/courses/viewcourse.aspx?ref=74 (and also check out other IP and related courses that form part of the LL.M in Innovation, Technology and the Law).

Compare what you see with the other institutions. Does that look to be an approach in line with your own expectations? Would you prefer to study those subjects rather than the other institutions?

When are you considering applying? Next year? Have you thought about distance learning this year which is available part-time and full-time and taught by the same tutors on-line as on-campus. (www.law.ed.ac.uk/distancelearning/ for further information)?

Entrance requirements are reasonably high, a "very good" or "excellent" undergaduate degree and good language skills (an score of 7.0 in IELTS).

Assessment is mostly via essay, and strong research and writing skills will be required to gain good scores.

Hope this may be of some help.
