Hey, Sat Feb 09, 2008 09:28 PM About the Huygens scholarship, as much as I've understood it should be a full scholarship covering both your tuition fee as well as everyday living costs. However, applying for it requires that the institution that you're applying for provides you with a nomination letter that you have to send to Nuffic altogether with other documents they want. I've just gone through that process (the deadline for applying for next year was unfortunately already February 1st) and am now waiting to hear from them - something that I think might take months even. Would be good to hear from someone who's done the same and/or knows more about it. |

Indeed, I guess the decisions should start coming in May or so. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Wonder what the chances are though...

Well, I'm still going to do my best to get to Leiden. I've been saving up some, but nothing near the actual amount that I would need. Might also go for a study loan....will see. I guess it would be smart to think of alternatives since nothing guarantees I'd be among this 14-or so-% to get the scholarship.

Hi all,Sat Apr 05, 2008 02:47 PM I've been accepted from Tilburg, Int. Business Law programme. And I am going to start in Aug. 2008. I have found out that Tilburg is a great university. But do you have any updated info about its law faculty ranking in year 2007? (There are some info on Tilburg's web site, but it does not seem much updated for year 2007.) I hope you have such info for year 2007.. I could not find any. But I guess there may be some info in Dutch sources, newspapers, magazines, etc. And I can't speak Dutch. :( You know that such ranking lists are much more available for US law schools, but I guess not much for Dutch law schools. If you can somehow reach some info, a law ranking list, would you please share with me? Thanks in advance. Mehmet |

Ams.Taking into account that I am from non-EEA country and may finance my studies only by scholarship( HSP Huygens) can you please rank these universities or give me advice which one to choose? And about HSP Huygens scholarship-is it full or partial scholarship? I found some rankings on their website from Elsevier (seems like a dutch paper or magazine) and Keuzegids (don't know exaxtly what kind of organisation made this one up). Elsevier ranking of Law in the Netherlands (according to professors in 2007): 1. Tilburg University 2. Utrecht University 3. Nijmegen University 4. Leiden University 5. Groningen University 6. Amsterdam University (UvA) 7. Maastricht University 8. Amsterdam University (VU) 9. Rotterdam University Elsevier ranking according to students 1. Nijmegen Univeristy 2. Tilburg University 3. Maastricht University 4. Leiden University 5. Groningen Univeristy 6. Amsterdam Univeristy (VU) 7. Rotterdam Univeristy 8. Utrecht Univeristy 9. Amsterdam University (UvA) Keuzegids (2008) 1. Nijmegen Univeristy 2. Groningen University 3. Tilburg University 4. Leiden University 5. Rotterdam University 6. Maastricht Univeristy 7. Amsterdam University (VU) 8. Utrecht University 9. Amsterdam University I got accepted to Utrecht, Amsterdam (UvA) and Tilburg. According to these rankings, Tilburg is definately the best choice. My parents will be happy too, cause it is a smaller university, smaller city and nice compact campus. Tilburg here i come ;) |

I would not rely on 'Elsevier (seems like a dutch paper or magazine) and Keuzegids (don't know exaxtly what kind of organisation made this one up)'. What kind of sources are those.Mon Apr 21, 2008 02:02 PM And what the hell is 'Nijmegen University' in the number 1 spot? |

Mon Apr 21, 2008 04:49 PM I would not rely on 'Elsevier (seems like a dutch paper or magazine) and Keuzegids (don't know exaxtly what kind of organisation made this one up)'. What kind of sources are those. I asked a Dutch friend and it seems that Elsevier publishes a ranking of all universities and programmes every year. For students this one is important. Keuzegids is an independent organisation sponsored by the Dutch Department of Education. So I think this one is reliable too. I don't know why Nijmegen is on the top position. Nijmegen hasn't got many international programmes, but maybe they are very good with their dutch programmes. |

I just checked. Nijmege has one LLM programme. But the ranking concerns law schools. So it must be a good dutch orientated law school. That means Tilburg is the next best thing :) Mon Apr 21, 2008 06:04 PM Well it has to be dutch programme rankings, since Nijmegen is nowhere to be seen in international ones. |

Hey guys,Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:04 AM I do agree that Tilburg University is a great choice for Business Law studies. This University is young, but at the same time very well-know. What I like about it that lawyers are being tought by professors who have double degrees (Law & Economics or Finance) so they can provide students with a different view of Law & Business synergy. |

Hey guys, I am currently studying the Master in International Business Law at Tilburg University and I can tell you that I am extremely happy with my choice. Beyond the University's good reputation, the professors are very good and top professionals in their field of experience, therefore we deal only with up to date issues. The course coordinator, who is also one of our great teachers, is excepcionally helpful and proactive, besides being an important character in the business law field. In my opinion, for those who want to study business law, Tilburg is by far the best option.

Hello Samanthaya,Tue Apr 22, 2008 01:30 PM I have just been admitted to the Master in International Business Law at Tilburg (starting August 2008), and I would appreciate if you could give more details about this programme. I would like to know about its orientation... financial law? contract law? competition? I am highly interested in the field of Law & Economics given that I have formal studies in both law and in economics. I am also applying to Utrecht L&E master and I will have to choose among those two. I thank you in advance for all your help! |
