Human Rights, International Criminal Law, Law of Armed Conflict & Humanitarian L
Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:27 PM
I am keen to find out which are the top ranking Universities that provide a LLM programme that cover one or more of the subject areas of the law (i.e Human Rights Law, Public International Law, International Criminal Law, Law of Armed Conflict, & Humanitarian Law).

How do they compare in terms of fees?

How do they compare in terms of cost of living in the city / town in which one will be residing as a full fee paying student, if fee paying is applicable, which is not in Sweden, for instance?

No, UK Universities please since their fees tend to be higher than what most not from the UK can afford, compounding with the fact that the strength of the British Pound aggravates the financial burden one needs to contend with.

Please do not hijack this thread by discussing the status of ones applications with a particular university as I have witnessed taking place with another board discussion thread where a similar query was raised but was never quite responded to because a number of folks who'd applied to Lund decided to discuss the prospects of their application in the said thread.

I look forward to hearing from anyone with relevant information pertaining to the aforesaid three queries regarding the subject areas of the law.

Thank you..

hey there .. are you an EU citizen ? if so, if you study the LLM in Public International Law at Leiden University, Netherlands, you are eligible for the "home fee" which is approx 1500 Euro. I'm actually going there myself for the coming year 07/08. I have heard many good things about it: many threads on this discussion board refer to Leiden. Good luck :o)

Hi Illy! Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am not an EU citizen so I will have to contend with massive fees and living costs, hence my decision to exclude UK universities altogether. Do you have an off the cuff take on what the fees are for non-EU citizens?

Thanks.

hey PD ... I'm with you on the whole "leaving UK to one side" thing as well ... the fees are higher and also my poor Aussie dollar will take a bit of beating over there! :)
Fees for non-EU citizens for the course I am doing is approx. 11,000 Euro. I think Utrecht's fees for the same course are 9,000 Euro.

Hi Illy! Guess my kiwi dollar will be somewhat worse off. In any case, notwithstanding the whole oxbridge bandwagon, I seem to get the impression that the european institutions tend to be far more progressive in the field of human rights law, international criminal law and the such. That might have something to do with why most international organisations connected with these fields are set up within europe (excl. britain).

In any case, any further thoughts on which are the best tertiary institutions in Europe for the pursuit of knowledge in these fields will be much appreciated...Danki!

I am not sure how this site works, but here it goes.
Well, can anyone give some tips about the doctorate in Leiden - Human Rights/ International Criminal Law/ Public International Law? In case you're there, planning to apply, know someone, or something... Thank you so much.
The Human Rights in Oxford University, Uk, it's very good, but as you said, too many buts maybe... Part of your studies are online, so you begin your studies from wherever you are, but i don't know if you would like that, and then you have to go there for 2 summers, i think.
And check this out, if you didn't already, cause there you have a lot of european universities for human rights www.emahumanrights.org/
