UNICRI - LL.M: Int. Organisations,Int. Criminal Law and Crime Prevention
Hi everybody!! any of you, guys, can help me?Tue Mar 27, 2007 04:46 PM I've studied law in Spain and I'm thinking in taking the UNICRI LL.M in International Organisations,International Criminal Law and Crime Prevention, but before applying I would like to know the opinion of those who are just right now doing the LL.M or somebody who knows something about it... What do you think about the real job perspectives after doing this LL.M? I mean, i know, where I live ( in a small village; by the way I'm from Spain) I dont have real opportunities to develop a career in the Human Rights field (maybe only as a tecaher, but is not what I want...) and also I am not pretty sure about the kind of job we will be able to apply after doing the LL.M. I mean, I know we will be able to work in an International Organization; but what kind of work?Only as a researcher? and it could be possible to work in UN or in an International Court? As you can see I'm a little bit confused and lost, so I will appreciate any kind of advice.... Thank you very much!!! [Edited 10 May 2007 by Saba] |

I actually did an internship at UNICRI and did meet some of the people that were doing the LL.M. I think they enjoyed it a lot. But I would not expect this LL.M. to open all doors to international organizations. In fact, no LL.M. will do that. Securing a job at an international organization requires a lot of efforts, good connections and relevant working experience probably. That said, there have been one or two cases of LL.M.s that could stay to work at UNICRI as a consultant. Also, I think the LL.Ms can compete for an internship. Don't get your hopes up too high and you will probably enjoy. Torino is a great city to live too!

UNICRI - LL.M: Int. Organisations,Int. Criminal Law and Crime Prevention
Hi All,Sat Apr 14, 2007 01:11 PM I was accepted at UNICRI last year but had to turn down the offer for personal reasons. I am looking forward to apply again this year.. I have a frnd who is studyin there rite now. What she had to say was that the course is really tough and that there were too many reading materials handed out... About the job prospects, a LLM in human rights or international relation would fetch you a job in a NGO concentrating on human right and the other option are getting in to the goverment, inter-goverment or the international agencies. For international bodies like UN, they require knowledge of one of the UN official languages and preferably 2 years of work experience in a related field. There are lot of oppurtunities for human rights professionals but u hve to prepared for a salary that is not very competitive and a job in one of the developing nations... BTW- Does anyone have any info about this years application. Have they published it yet ?? BTW- This year i am also applyin to University of Kent at Brussels. Seems like a good univ. Kent was top 20 in UK this year [Edited 14 Apr 2007 by simiroy] |

Very odd, says information will be posted in April and its the middle of the month with nothing -- they have not responded to my emails inquiring either! Maybe someone should just call and ask!

Hi.... I am wondering if anyone has received any information about the 07/08 program? I have sent a few emails requesting the info now that the April deadline has passed and have not received any response?Wed May 16, 2007 10:26 PM Also - I'd be interested to hear from anyone who was successful in getting a scholarship for last year's course i.e. what they are looking for - is it academic merit, financial disadvantage? |

Hey, the only responses I've got back from them are as soon as they finalize the course instruction and all, they will post information about applying, they told me early May, but now that we're in mid-May, I assume it'll be very soon!

I had my friend who is currently studying at UNICRI to enquire about the LLM course..the response she got was very vague. She was told that they are not very sure if they will have the english taught course again this year.Mon May 21, 2007 05:13 PM FYI- It was first time last year that UNICRI had a LLM in english, earlier the course was conducted only in Italian. And also my friend was not about the course structure in UNICRI. She told me that the course module was highly unstructured and had no proper direction. She also went to strongly advise me against applying again this year !! Please note- That the opinion expressed was as per her personal experience with UNICRI and not a general opinion. |

Just received word from the UNICRI that there will not be a 2007/2008 LL.M. The program is being revamped and relaunched. The next LL.M. cycle will be in 2008/2009.

Hi! I've heard that the UNICRI LLM is been launched again, for year 2008. I could read in the website that it starts in January 2008 with a distance learning unit and then continues in March until July in the UN Campus in Turin. Deadline for applications is 10 December 2007, soon. Good luck!
