Hi all,
Seeking a career advice from u people.
I'm A business graduate(Business Manegement). Planning to do LLM in International commercial law from Dundee University(Jan '08).

Is it a sutibale pairing? As an international student I may get 2 years time to search job in scotland.
How is the opportunity in real?

seeking ur kind suggesition

Murshed:

I don't know if you will find many "non-law" students (not a derogatory term) here. Hopefully there are some, and maybe they will be able to tell you what kind of experience an LL.M. is without legal training. I know it can be done because there are programmes which do not require a prior law degree, but your best option is to contact the schools with those programmes and ask how non-law students have performed in the past.

I would think a business degree and an LL.M. in international commercial law would complement each other, though. Go for it.

And, last, if you wanted advice about getting a job after your LL.M., you're going to have to find somebody from Scotland.

Good luck!

Hi Murshed,

I know it is a bit late to reply, but .....
I think that you will find that to study on the LL.M most universities will require an undergraduate in Law, either LL.B or GDL/CPE.
You may find some MA programmes which offer Business Law options which don't require the LL.B.
