Hello there,

I am thinking about applying to the Oxford MJur and the Cambridge LLM. However, as I am in a relationship I am having a hard time deciding whether to go and leave my girlfriend behind for a couple of month or not.

Once admitted, it would make it all much easier for me if it were possible to spend the TWO FIVE-WEEK BREAKS BETWEEN THE THREE TERMS in my home country. Is it possible to approach and plan the LLM year like this? Or are there exams during the breaks so that you have to be there anyway?

I know that my motivation might sound childish and that it might be suboptimal to impair the "LLM experience" by being away between the terms. It might however be the only way I could realistically do it at all.

Of course, I would have no problem with taking all the relevant books with me while being away in order to learn and prepare for the exams in my home country.

Looking forward to any helpful answers!

90% of people go away for all of xmas and easter, you're fine!

Thank you very much!

With all "all of xmas and easter" you really mean all five to six weeks? That would be fantastic - no need to worry for me then!?

You can stay away for all the vacation time!!!you can leave Oxford one day after the end of the term and come back just a few days before the beginning of the next!!!

Thank you so much, guys - looks like my worries have dissolved into thin air!
