Overall, LSE stands out as the strongest choice given its reputation, specialised curriculum and network. UCL has a more interdisciplinary approach and KCL has a strong emphasis on practical scenarios and case studies.

Please beware that the KCL LLM is merely a cash-cow for milking International Students. There is no substantive value in comparison to the undergraduate degree. This is reflected in how it is even taught and the administration of LLM students. Before you waste time, money and precious resources, please look to see who is actually in a senior position of employment because of a KCL LLM.

If you want to work as a lawyer within this field, the International Financial Law pathway at King's is unbeatable because the three modules in "Law of International Finance" are all taught by former and current practitioners who made it to partner at very distinguished law firms. These modules include an analysis of
- Syndicated Loan Agreements,
- Bonds,
- Project Finance,
- (OTC-)Derivatives, and
- Securitisation.
You not only debate the broader legal framework surrounding these transactions, but actually engage in in-depth analysis of specific clauses that you would expect to see in market standard documentation. Each of the modules also includes seminars where you can present your own written legal advice on a fact pattern and discuss it with the lecturer.

The answer directly above is clearly trolling, he copy-pasted that message into multiple threads.
