Hey guys i got into UCL for my LLM course starting later on this year, but have not decided whether or not 2 do a general llm course as opposed 2 one specialising in a particular area. alot of people have told me its not really worth doing an llm unless u are going 2 specialise. is that true or not? does it really make a difference? i mean of course it displays knowledge in a certain area of law, which is great if u want 2 go into a firm specialising in that area of law. but if your uncertain as to what area of law u want 2 specialise in like me - is it such a big problem?

any help would b great
cheers

I ´d always suggest to choose a specialized LL.M. over a general LL.M. This way you´ll have a special subject written on your certificate (or whatever we will get afterwards, lol). And the subject you choose for your Master isn´t automatically the field you will (have to) work in afterwards too. Choose what you are interested in for now... This will guide you into the right direction.
