I would be very surprised if Cambridge suddenly decided to re-introduce a raft of International law options in response to your requests. In the final analysis, Cambridge is best placed to assess - from a staffing and logistical perspective - which courses it can offer next year. Cambridge is also in poll position to decide on LL.M. options because it has the details of the class numbers for each and every option offered in 2010-2011. Often, options attracting small numbers are run in alternate years. So, by all means petition Cambridge. But I would have thought your pleas will fall on deaf ears. It's difficult enough to schedule an LL.M. (without receiving pleas from incoming LL.M. students as regards the exact subjects they think are desireable).

Does anyone know whether Professor Christine Gray and Dr Roger O'Keefe are leaving? If so, where are they going?


O'Keefe is going on a sabbatical next year. Not sure about Gray.

same story here - I was considering calling Ms. Wade to ask if its normal at least... it is quite important to know what kind of academic conditions are going to be required and how high...
hi Tills, So, have you had any success getting in touch with Mrs. Wade via telephone? I tried calling her three times but only got voicemail system reply. Since I applied in paper application, I don't have any online account that I can check the progress of my application after the offer on Feb 26. I am meeting a deadline to deposit for Us. School so I would appreciate if you have any update info.

OK_C Greetings! I have not received any e-mail. I checked the Camsis webpage (after clicking the view/amend button) and there is an indication below the table of status (in this table the status has not been changet at all - it is still "papers with Degree Committee".

By the way, has anyone heard of the outcome of the AHRC Studentship? Or has anyone any idea when the decisions are going to be released?

I was interviewed, so I asked when I might hear. They said I'd hear of the final decision around May. But it seems decisions for other subjects are made a lot later, so I'm not entirely sure really. Just fingers crossed and wait I guess! I thought the interview went terribly so not too optimistic!

I'm in the same boat. I emailed last week, but have not heard a peep back.

Have any more decisions come out in the last couple weeks?

I have not seen any posts in the last last two weeks stating any decisions from Cambridge.

Hi Sapphire,

I am in the same situation ( but a little different) since I am meeting the deadline to accept the offer of another school but I have not received a formal offering letter in the mail yet.

Here is Mrs. Wade's number. +44 (0) 1223 330034. I tried calling her yesterday but only receive automatic voice mail. So, I don't feel hopeful about getting in touch with her. But I am sure it does not hurt if you try calling. Good luck!

Lawgeek,
Do you mind telling me whether you have received the formal offering letter. Inaddition, your academic condition is a first- did they specify a minimum grade point average you must obtain? if so, is it pretty strict when compared to the GPA you used as part of your application?

I still haven't had a letter! So I'm just going on what it says on Camsis. They don't specify an average, so I imagine just a first will do.

22nd February. I think some people got the email offer on the same date and their Camsis updated a while ago, so I guess there's no rhyme or reason!

Does anyone know whether or not it is reasonable to expect another "round" of acceptances at some point?
