Hi, my name is Rita and I'm just finishing my degree in laws at the University of Coimbra, Portugal.I 'd like to apply for an llm (september 2008) at the UK but I have not quite decided which one,as I don't have any professional experience,only my Academic degree and an Erasmus experience in a foreign country. I like International law, public,maritime,european,comercial.do you think you could give me an idea about wiich universities are the best in these areas?according to its project,lecturer support,professional prospects post-llm, etc.
By the way, here in my country, we have a different system of grades and degrees (there´s no credit system and the marks are in a scale of 0 to 20). mine is between 12 and 13 on 20. am i a lost case according to your scale??

Can you enlighten me?
thank you

Rita

Thank you booth by the information. seems like I will have to do something about my grades here at the university... I will check every university to get a more accurate idea. at the first sight, KCL is far from what I can offer in the appliance:(

Thanks anyway
