Hi,
I am Urvashi (from India), I got a conditional offer from Queen Mary, for the IP program, i just wanted to know how good is the program and is it better than Kings...
And is there anyone from Delhi going this year to Queen Mary.......

for IP QM is arguably the best in London and highly regarded in Europe. Kings is extremely good in finance law and is more reputed overall as a law department and university than the former.

In any case lectures will only take place for 9-12 hrs per week with additional tutorials forthnightly and other academic support. therefore everything depends upon your self study.

is there anyone going from New Delhi....I would like to connect with anyone from Delhi going there......

Hi urvashi..
This is Nidhi from India precisely from Delhi...
I have received my confirmation from queens just 2 weeks back...
so wt r ur plans for going dere and r u applying for any scholarships dere?

Hi to all......
I am new this blog and have received conditional offer from queens and I wanted to know how good is international business law prog there?
and I would be really obliged if any one could guide me regarding the job opportunities in uk after passing out with a llm degree from queens.

Hi Nidhi,
Great to connect from someone from Delhi......I do plan to apply for scholarships as well. So when do u intend to go and intend to take the college accomodation

@ nidhi
I would rather address your second query first. If your motive is to hunt for a job in UK legal sector then LLM from anywhere wont serve much purpose. Rather its better to go for GDL + LPC for solicitorship or GDL + BPTC for being a barrister, all of which are for two years. If you're already enrolled in any of the bar in India then you can appear for QLTS I believe. You can seek further information from www.sra.org.uk. If you apply for a traineeship in any of the firms in UK and succeed in bagging one then they will sponsor your whole course which will start from 2013 if you apply now. In case of barrister, the chamber will only provide you funds for BPTC which means you will have to pay from your own pocket fo GDL at first and then after clearing that you can apply for pupillage in any of the chambers. However for a legal position in any corporate sector/companies there are no such requisites. There are some schools which provide such courses along with LLM simultaneously such as City Univ, Nottingham Trent, Cardiff but I'm not sure how credible are they. LLM being specifically an academic degree wont be given much weightage compared to your LLB ( which is your qualifying degree) as far as the profession is concerned.

Secondly, Business Law programme in QM is ok but nothing great.

Thanku so much reet. I think it will now help me for moving forward.:)
where are u from and I think u r alredy done wid ur llm?

Hi everyone

I'm spanish and I have just received a condicional offer for the general LLM. I have to think about, but I'll probably accept it. I'm on my last year at university and quite nervous and excited!

I have a doubt about location: we are supposed to have most of the classes at Lincoln Inn Fields near Covent Garden, but the main QM campus is at Mile End right? I know that we have several accomodation options, both in the city centre and in the campus, what will you choose? I would like to live with other international and national students, anyone knows what would be the best place for this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi leeco, well I hrd dt lincoln's inn is jst ? bus away frm mile end,so transportation shld nt be ? problem,? I guess if ? stay on the campus(mile end),it wil give ? d????? oppurtunity ? need to interact wif oda international students,coupled with d????? fact dt ? don't have to worry bout paying for bills ? stuffs lyk dt!I wil be staying @ mile end.

But if all the courses are not in mile end, why should you go all the way to bloomsbury?

Hi leeco, well I heard that lincoln's inn is just a bus away from mile end,so transportation should not be a problem,and I guess if you stay on the campus(mile end),it will give you the opportunity you need to interact with other international students,coupled with the fact that u don't have to worry bout paying for bills and stuffs like that! I will be staying @ mile end.

I heard that It's about 30 minutes bus ride from Mile end to Bloomsbury. I don't know if I am up for it. and usually the accommodation in campus is filled with very young and noisy undergraduates.

I guess It all depends on how many classes will we have to take in Bloomsbury. Does anyone know?

Lol @ very young and noisy undergraduates. The tube is a lot faster though,about 10-15mins,I don't know how many classes we will be having

I have created a group on lawyrs.net for the QMUL batch of 2011-2012 .... Please join... And we can continue discussion so that we are aware about our future classmates before we get to London!
I am Shibumi Raje, from Bombay, India .. and I have accepted a conditional offer for a specialisation in Media Law.

Regards,
Shibumi

Hi,
I have also accepted my conditional offer from QMUL. I was wondering what are all of u doing about the accommodation bit.Would a campus accomodation be better or sharing a flat.
Urvashi

Hi Urvashi,

Their campus accommodation looks pretty good. Also, a flat will turn out to be more expensive and if you don't get along with your roommates, you're stuck!

Maybe we should start a group on FACEBOOK? that way we will be able to meet each other better!

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks shibumi for opening a group on lawyers.net!facebook would not be a bad idea too!I
