Hello!

I need some advise:
I have received offers from 2 prominent UK Universities: The University of Leicester (LL.M. Public International Law) and The University of Aberdeen (LL.M. Human Rights and Criminal Justice). My dilemma now is that I am faced with a difficult decision of choosing between the two LLM Programmes.
My intention upon graduating is to find work in academia or the UN, IGO or NGO.
Career prospects and jobwise, which programme is a better option in the long run?
Thank you for your invaluable input.

Hey! I'm facing a similar situation. That is, I've received offers from KCL (International Peace and Security MA) and University of Leicester (LL.M Public International Law). As I am not a law undergraduate, but have found out since applying to the above mentioned universities that I can also still apply to some LL.M's in Human Rights and Criminal Justice.

I don't know how valuable my advice to you is, but I'm currently an intern at a human rights NGO dealing with victims rights in the former Yugoslavia. At my organisation only a small amount of employees have a degree in transitional justice. They are selected due to their interest in the field, personal qualities etc. Careerwise I would say that both LL.Ms would be good.

If you are interested in pursuing an academic career, look at interesting research centers.
I will probably accept the offer from Leicester as I can specialise in transitional justice, but still have a broad qualification. I can't help you with Aberdeen unfortunately.
