Hi guys!

I'm new to this board but I'd like to start off by saying that any help with my query would be greatly appreciated. And I'm sorry if its one thats been asked before - I've searched and it hasn't seemed to be but I could be wrong.

I'm a newly-graduated LLB student from the LSE, currently holding offers from LSE, King's and UCL to do an LLM. I've met my offer criteria for all three and wish to specialise in Human Rights and/or PIL.

My question is simple: does anyone know which of the three would be the best place for the job? I love LSE at the moment but am aware that King's and UCL are great too. I've heard UCL in particular has a great PIL field. So if anyone could shed some light on the matter it would be great.

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

the choice, were i in your shoes, would be between ucl and lse. i would go with the lse because of connor gearty, who is a luminary in the HR field, and apparently a bit of a god as a teacher/lecturer as well. in general as well lse's llm is perceived to be slightly more difficult to be accepted on than ucl's, so that's another thing to bear in mind. the differences are marginal, and it entirely depends on the courses you want to take and who you'd like to be taught by. good luck with your decision..

Hi! First off, I will be a bit off topic.
I'm just curious why you didn't apply to any PIL/HR programmes in the continental Europe or the US? You already have a degree from a top UK uni, so you don't have to worry much about the prestige on your CV. I think you could find some good European or US programmes in the chosen field to diversify your knowledge by studying in another legal system (if in cont. Europe), especially when you want to specialise in Itnernational public law, so an international exposure could add much value. And you could also stand out if not following a widespread route.
I must say that I speak from my own perspective since I'm a corporate lawyer from a civil law country and am really interested in gaining a legal knowledge of the common law system hence I'm pursuing a UK LLM.
Regarding the original question I'm biased since I plan to study financial law at King's. But I heard some strong arguments on this board in favour of studying PIL/HR at LSE so I think your alma mater is the place for that.
