I just applied today for the LLM International Law at the University of Edinburgh. I also applied to 4 others unis at the same time, I hope at least one accepts me!!

Lets keep track of the progress of our applications here!!

Regards, :)

I wish you very good luck with your Edi application. I did my LLM in international law at Edi and am now writing my PhD here. I am on of the convenors for the International Law Discussion group which is for students to introduce them to international law topics outwith the classroom. I hope you are able to join us here in 2009!

Hi! I just saw on the website of Ed that the on-line application was not yet active... how did you apply?

I did it by post because I did not wanted to waste any time. I wanted to use the online application but I was afraid I may lose some valuable time. I am an overseas student and I think early applications have more chance than late applications. That's my opinion but maybe I'm wrong.

Cheers :)

They sent me an email on november 11 with my username and password to track my application online.

I'll keep you informed!

I just received today an unconditional offer from the University of Edinburgh to attend the LLM International Law starting September 14, 2009. I m waiting for an answer from 3 other universities (UCL, LSE and Queen Mary). I think I like UCL better but if they dont accept me Ill be glad to attend Edinburgh.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Congratulations on your acceptance at Edinburgh. You'll be extremely happy if you choose to attend.
All the best.

Thank you very much. I'll see what I decide

Hi everyone..
im also planning to apply for EDI Llm in european law, but im still waiting to receive my last signed reference letter, which should be soon...Is it difficult to get there..I see some people r applying for more unis at the same time..Is it really necessary?
Thanks a lot for any info..

I applied to 5 unis just in case! Specially because the universities I applied are top universities and I knew it would a tough competition.

I cannot tell you exactly if its difficult but well i had good grades but not like extremely excellent. I have work experience and also volunteering experience. I got 7.5 at IELTS and Im also a certified translator in english/french/spanish since the year 2004. I also did the Toles exam (Test of legal english skills) and scored red. So i think maybe this helped me more than my actual grades, in my opinion. Besides I am an overseas student and maybe me paying a tuition of over 12,000 also convinced them,,i really dont know, but just give it a try,,you never know,,i think it also depends on your luck sometimes,,its a combination of different factors (grades, qualifications, luck etc).

nice, nice...im impressed...but if this suppose to calm me down:)
i see i have to give a try and maybe also secure my position by applying for more unis, but i prefer Edinburgh, as im currently living here...
thanks anyway and good luck for your studies..

Actually, yes i was trying to calm you down hehe but hey dont worry give it a try, you never know. Are your grades good??

thanks:)
thats what im trying to find out...i need to understand what is equivalent in my country for UK 2:1
i dont think my grades are exxtremely good, but they are not bad at all, but sometimes i had bad luck and my strategy never was to repeat just to get better grade after i once passed an exam, maybe mistake if im looking at it right now..
but who knows, maybe i ll be lucky and maybe not...
im little bit deceived at the moment...
wish me luck, im going to submit it next week as soon as i got original refernce letter from my teacher...
and one more question?i want to take IELTS exam in March, if they decide to accept me conditionally as soon as i give them english certificate will they accept me or it is also possible they will reject me?

If they gave you a conditional offer they should accept you if you meet the ielts requirements afterwards. I think they give like two months for you to fullfil their requirements.

Just received an unconditional offer for the LLM by research in the history and philosophy of law from Edinburgh.

I like the program but am concerned about Edinburgh's ranking vis a vis UCL and KCL.

Can anyone comment on

(i) Edinburgh's standing especially vis a vis Schools like UCL and KCL, is there a big difference in prestige?

(ii) the facilities available in Edinburgh. How's the law school and particularly the library. Is the library well-stocked?

Thanks

Edinburgh is a top UK law school and, in the subject you talk about, one of the best places worldwide.Are you intending to focus on the history or theory side of things?! I'm considering applying for the same course but haven't put together my research proposal yet.

I applied in mid of Jan.. Am i late for Edinburgh?

Not at all, its not the same as Oxbridge and some of the UOL. I'd say people still have about 8-10 weeks or so for Edinburgh.

Hi S_Dimelow,

I'm interested in the theoretical side of law, especially with regards to corrective justice. MY heart lies with legal theory, but the pragmatic side of me is siding towards going to UCL which has a better reputation. Not sure which i will choose.
