I am a student from Liberia, West Africa completing my BA degree in Criminal Justice from Metropolitan State University in Minnesota, USA. The B.A. in criminal justice provides students with a broad analysis of the relationship between law and society as well as a thorough examination of the interrelationships, functions and operations of the different components of the criminal
justice system (www.metrostate.edu/slc/cjsprogs.html).

I am currently seeking a University with good academic reputation to do my graduate studies in International Law or International Relations in the fall of 2008. Also I will like to choose a university that could help me to get into the UN or serve as foreign service official representing my country abroad.

Do I need to get LLB or can Criminal Justice get me in LLM International Law or International Relations program in the UK? Also which School is consider among the best in the UK for the LLM in Int'l Law or Int'l Relations?
