Hi everyone!

If you were to choose between Trinity College Dublin, Edinburgh, Durham, Nottingham and Bristol where would you go?(for a general LLM or International LLM)
Which has the best reputation?

Hahaha, thanks but the real choice for me is actually between Trinity and Ediburgh!!!
As you're at trinity at the moment could you tell me how many lectures per week you have and how many students are on the same course?

I don't have to be impartial.

I am teaching on a couple of postgrad law courses in Dublin and Edinburgh in the next couple of weeks. Both are great Universities in a Georgian setting. Trinity has a great international reputation and so does Edinburgh.

I have a partially to Edinburgh as I did my LLM and PhD there-but what I would say as a matter of practicality is to have a good look at the courses of both places and who teaches on them-and instead of asking on here contact Trinity and Edinburgh for more information.

Good Luck

hey, we have 3 exams each term - which means 6 lectures per weeek + there could be extra seminar classes.
there are ca. 70 of us alltogether, in some classes there might be 20 people, in others only 5 - it all depends on what subjects you've chosen to do.
if you'll have further questions, feel free to ask.

To Dr. Alan Riley - thanks for a great yesterday's lecture in Energy law, I've really enjoyed it especially taking into account the fact that I come from Belarus - one of the recent victims of Russian energy policy :).

SwedishBoy, have you followed Dr Riley's advice to contact Edinburgh or Trinity? if so, are you any closer to making a decision? it's always good to know.

If you're still interested in applying, you should apply to both, and continue your research whilst you're awaiting a verdict from them, the application deadlines are fast approaching.
