I'm in!!!!......two questions...is anyone also specialising in PIL and are any of u applying for the mischon de reya scolarship??? xx

Congrats pixie! I also plan to follow the PIL specialization. I did not, however, apply for that scholarship.

Are any of you familiar with the housing application process? I submitted my application via fax and email around the end of April, and sent a hard copy by mail (which should have been received after 3 weeks). When can we expect the results thereof?

Any idea how to go about defferin the admission for the next yr.....

I have recently contacted with UCL as to Deferal Process and they told me only sending an e-mail including the expression of your deferal requisition and your existing offer, which must be accepted, via fax would be enough . by the way anybody knows that how many weeks i have to attend for Pre-Sessional in the event of holding 6.5 from ielts?

many thanks

Oh thnks a lot for that info!

hi people,

I have accepted the offer from UCL. Has anyone received any further information from there end??

Cheers!!

OK, I am getting confused by all the abbreviations. This is a question for those planning to attend the ADH - Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights: when exactly does the program starts and ends? Has anybody received a formal schedule so to speak? I am not sure for which dates to look for accommodations - from the beginning of September, from the middle... and till what date - till end of may, end of June, October? Any advice is welcome and if anybody has found a decent apartment to share, write back!

hi i have received conditional offer from ucl.. is there any indian student out here hoping to be admitted for the acad year 2008-09?

Hi everyone, I recently got accepted to UCL for the 2008-2009 LL.M..... Has any one else been accepted???

It would be great to hear from everyone... maybe discuss accommodation, budgeting or any other interesting topics...

pd.: if you participate in this thread then it must be because you were also accepted, so, congrats!

is there any greek admitted to ucl for 2008-2009?
Tnx

hi!
i have accepted a conditional offer from ucl. I have to score 7.5. at ielts but unfortunately i had 7. So probably i will go for the pre-sessional courses. Is there anyone else having the same problem?? Of course i will retake ielts but it is hard to achieve 7.5. So does anyone have any idea about how difficult is to achieve 75% at pre-sessional courses?
Tnx!!

hi, even I am having same problem. I scored 7 bands in IELTS and require 7.5 bands for UCL. So i am so much confused regarding the same. I am thinking to re appear for IELTS again and try. ALso i have requested for the offer letter for Pre sessional classes. they have given me 5 weeks classes. So even i am thinking that it would be difficult to get 75% over there. I dont know what to do??

hi.. I think the best we can do is just to retake ielts in case...it is always a matter of luck...Presessional courses seems to me the last solution, as of course it is really streesful to go there and to be obliged to pass 75%,...By the way,they have also offered me a 5 week place..
So good luck to all of us...

Does anyone have any info on accommodation (beyond the info on the Accommodation Booklet and that posted on UCLs web site)?

I recently did the virtual tour on the Intercollegiate Halls (http://www.london.ac.uk/810.html) and they look awful (to say the least)!

Even though I chose the Student Houses as my first choice, I'm starting to get worried over the fact that I might be spending nearly 7000 GBP on accommodation that is not on par with private accommodation.

Any comments?

cheers,

Hi,
I need a score of 7.5 too whereas i ve already 7.0.
WHAT TO DO??? What s the deadline ?
please HEEEELP!!
Regards

even i got a 7.0 in ielts...all univerisities except ucl accepts this score...i spoke to the faculty of law today at ucl..they said the test could be re-taken anytime b4 september...
ive already given the ielts exam twice and i got 7.0 both times...ucl isnt considering it and it doesnt even accept an ielts waiver letter...
so too bad!

i was also a little mislead when i received a postcard from ucl saying "congratuations for your success, we look forward to welcoming you in september"...i found out today that it was just a letter acknoledging that i accepted their offer...

so has anyone met the coniditions of their offer letter and have got an official admission letter?

i have an upper second class and my offer letter mentioned a first class i.e. 60%
i have no idea wats gonna happen...keeping my fingers crossed :)

Let us go for the presessional!

i feel ucl is just acting pricy...why d hell cant d accept 7.0 !!

We can write lots of posts here with the questions "Why don't they just accept my 7.0 score on IELTS" and nothing will happend.

I am surprised that UCL Admissions has prolonged deadline for meeting English Language Requirements. On the UCL LLM official site it is mentioned that you have to meet your language requirements by 30 June 2008 (see Section "Language Requirements"). So I am surprised that in fact they allow students to make it by September.

As for me, after some considerations, I will take pre-sessional courses.

Hope to see you all in September!
