Hi, sorry if this has been done already.

Basically I have been offered the LLM (International Economic Law) at Warwick and the LLM (International Commercial Law) at the Uni of Birmingham for 2010/2011.

I am moving to the West Midlands from abroad for personal reason and these were the only courses I applied for. This would also be my first time in the UK university system.

I like both courses but I would greatly appreciate some feedback or some points to consider as to which one I should pick.

Thank you.

Since my student days in the UK about 30 years ago, when there were no rankings, Birmingham has been generally regarded as a very good university. Its law school has also been lately rising to eminence: just look at its impressive staff profiles. Warwick is also good, but my personal choice is definitely Birmingham.

Bump..!

I am a LLB student at the university of Birmingham-and have many friends on their LLM program. That being said, I am extremely biased! I've enjoyed my program very much, and am considering doing an LLM at my programs conclusion next year-Thus I understand your dilemma! I can say for a fact that Birmingham's staff are attentive, and ready to help. I know when I chose where to do my LLB Warwick was one of my choices. Both are extremely good schools, but being an international student (I'm from the USA) I chose Birmingham for the city, as well as its academics. Hope that helps!
