my academic interest is in public law/public international law - specifically, the management of ethnic and religious minorities. i have an undergraduate llb, recently acquired an oxon bcl (but didn't do any international law at oxford for various reasons) and am working outside of my academic interests at the moment. but my intention is, and has always been, to teach the subjects i love at my local university. i want to go back to school and eventually work towards a phd in this area. as a first step, i'd like to get a topical llm, but i won't be able to do this without funding (pref merit-based, since i fall in that excluded middle - i wouldn't qualify for a needs-based award, but i am not swimming in funds either). i am considering either the cantab llm (with the gates scholarship) or the nyu llm (with the hauser). having spent a year in england, i don't know if i want to go back there so soon - but what is the sense of those of you in the know? would my second llm year be better spent at cambridge, or at nyu? i know both institutions are very strong indeed, but i have never known anyone to do a lateral comparison. would be very grateful for insights!
