Have anybody else applied for the new LLM in International Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation at Warwick University?

I have an offer from the University of Warwick and I like to accept it. I have also offers from Edinburgh, Bristol, Nottingham, Kent, Dundee and Exeter (Commercial or Corporate Law) but in my view the course in Warwick is more well designed and the response of the University was always professional and very helpful.

If there any reason why I should not chose Warwick?

Thanks for responses!

hi Luv and ETOM (if thats wot u call it),

need a help!! is this course that you guys have opted for, amongst the best in the rating of courses that are offered in the UK or only in this university of Warwick. Further, Luv, i believe you are from India. Do you intend to take up employment in the UK only coz i have heard that getting a job there is not so easy!! do reply and all the best to both of you :-)

Hi Shikha,

As far as I know there are no "Course Rankings" at all in UK. Furthermore the course "Int. Corp. Govern. a. Fin. Regul." starts in October for the first time. The rankings concern the University or the School of Law. You may find the current rankings here:

browse.guardian.co.uk/education?SearchBySubject=&F…

www.timesonline.co.uk/displayPopup/0,,13425,00.htm…

Hope this will help you a little bit.

Hey Shikha...........The modules tht Warwick is giving are simply outstandin....This was the main reason tht i opted fr it...however i must tell u tht Warwick is a very sought after university and is widely reputed in the world..it is quite popular among recruiters in India too....it had max. no. of co. visits in U.K. last yr.....Job in U.K is nt easy bt Warwick definitely enhances ur prospects....it stands right alongwith the best (it is one of the best)..I had offers from diff. universities bt i opted fr warwick.anyways as per the new scheme after the succesful completion of the PG course we can stay bak in U.K fr an year nd then get the visa extended..job is not easy so it is in imp. tht u opt 4 an univ. which gives u an edge...frst concentrate on the studies job wil follow....if the employer likes u in an interview there is no reason y he wnt take u..thts where a gud univ. is imp. cause it grooms u.....besides warwick enjoys grt reputation all over the wrld and so even if u dnt land up with a job in U.K ( there is no reason y u cant..jst presuming)u have bright future in India ...jst go to a gud univ., study hard, choose ur modules well & job wil follow....I know its a long reply bt solely depending on the rankings is nt good..the best univer. are oxbridge, king's , lse, warwick & UCL..iam nt ranking thm bt this is where u wana go if u wana land up with job.
cheers,
Luv

hi again Luv,

It seems that u have studied the modules at Warwick very well.. I have secured offer for Int. Cor. Gov and ... ., but I dont have much of a corporate background as I have studied Company Law as one of the subjects for my final year of LL.B course.. The module seems to be quite technical n tough n vast.. But looking at ur enthusiasm to study these modules., I guess its gonna be interesting!!

its true..but every coin has two sides...success & failure goes hand in hand.....bt my aim is to equip myself with a fair knowledge of law which will open many opportunities bak here as well..wrking there wud b grt..bt its ok even if i land up bak here...u r the best person to decide wat u want....if u wanna equip urself with specialised knowledge thn u shud opt fr it....again i believe quality education is the best investment which will definitely pay u bak.....bt everyone is entitled to their opinion i guess...

Hi all

This forum is quite informative and helpful & I would like to commend everyone for their contributions.

Luv & Etom, I believe U're are already running the Int CG & FR LLM programme in Warwick. Could you please let me know your assessment of this course as I intend to apply. Thanks.

Hi

I've also applied for the LLM in International Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation at Warwick. I agree with what's been written above that the courses offered are definitely interesting.

I sent my application quite some time back but only managed to send my supporting documents today. So let's see what they decide.

Congrats to everyone who got their admission already.

Cheers
Prashant

I understand the admission process is rigorous. I can only hope we are not applying too late. I am yet to send my supporting documents - hope to do that very soon.

Good luck to U!

Hi SuzyQ

FYI, I got my admission to King's College London, Univ of Manchester (which was the first to respond) and Univ of Dundee (CEPMLP). Still waiting for Warwick to reply.

Not sure which one to take up but a lot will depend on which Univ gives me a partial scholarship, if at all, since I'm going to finance my studies with a loan.

What's your take on which of the above Colleges to choose?

Cheers
Prash

Hi Prashbez

Congratulations on the offers you have!

I think that, in addition to ranking, your choice of course is also relevant in choosing a University. All three Universities are good; but for Commercial law, I would choose Kings College from the list. Aside the positive comments I have read about Kings College on this site, my friend, who studied Commerial law in that school talked positively about the modules and teaching method.

Dundee's CEPMLP has an excellent reputation; I would recommend Dundee for oil & gas related courses.

Manchester is a good school as well; but for commercial law, I prefer Kings College.

Good luck to you with the scholarship search!

Hi SuzyQ

Thanks for your wishes and response.

I've decided to take up the King's College London offer for the moment. I'm interested in doing the LLM in International Finance, so KCL seems the best for me right now. Of course if I do get a substantial scholarship at one of the other Universities, then I'll need to sit down and decide whether it's worth giving up the KCL brand for a lesser known brand but with a scholarship.

Even I've gotten positive feedback from friends on KCL and the teachers. In fact my friend studied with the same teachers as I would be studying with and he said they were excellent.

Suzy where are you going for your studies? Or have you finished already?

Hi Prashbez

I think I agree with your choice.

I have an offer from Dundee for Pet law & Policy. Warwick is my preferred choice but I haven't heard from them yet.

Well Dundee is good for that course for sure though the fees is 13500 pounds compared to KCL which is 12500. But your living cost will be much lower in Dundee, maybe about 8500 pounds.

All the best for Warwick. They didn't even consider my application. I've posted a feedback on that whole fiasco in another post on this site. lol.

Didn't you apply to KCL?
