Nottingham or Glasgow for LL.M ?


Shatha

I received conditional offers from both universities but i'm unable to make up my mind as to which one i want to go for..
also, still waiting to hear back from LSE..
Which one of the first 2 universities do you recommend ?
I would realy appreciate any input.

I reckon Nottingham enjoys of better reputation... and one other thing to take in account whilst making your decision: Nottingham teaches English law (i.e. pure common law) and Glasgow teaches Scots law (i.e. a mixed system with some codified rules). Neither will allow you to practice law in the UK (England or Scotland) but you should give some thought to what exactly you want to learn

Thank you very much for ur advice. To be honest i do find myself leaning towards Nottingham, I am mostly interested in international law and i'm hoping for a career in an international law firm or organization, and i'm not british so didnt realy have high hopes of working in the u.k - would like to though, i love it there :)

If it's international law you're after, Glasgow has one of the best departments in the United Kingdom. The university, more broadly, is a member of the prestigious Russell Group and, in my opinion, the campus and location is far more attractive than that of Nottingham. I would also argue, conversly, that Glasgow's reputation is better than that of Nottingham's...

Glasgow for legal theory, and for an academic career. Nottingham is good too, but it does'nt have 600 years of history like Glasgow. Nor does it have alumni like Adam Smith....I am a tad biast though, as I went to Glasgow Law.

The campus is amazing! And English students tend not to know about Glasgow, untill Glas. grads take their jobs lol.
