I am very interested in Vienna University too. I know about its School of Law and it is good enough. But unfortunately they teach only in german. As for english classes Vienna University offer us only LLM in International Legal Studies. I want to apply, but the deadline is 1 Mrach 2008. I haven't passed TOEFL yet. Write if you have any information

There are no alumni of this LLM-prgram because it takes place first time this (or next?) year I think.Mon Nov 05, 2007 03:34 PM I studied at University of Vienna's Law School and can really recommend all professors of the International Law-Institute. They belong to the best qualified jurists among the whole law school and partly are world class scholars. Just read their CVs and you get an idea of their strong qualifications. I really enjoyed (mandatory) international law courses during my curriculum due to the faculty's quality. Strong recommendation so far. As you might have considered on your own, the program is - as it takes place first time - not renowned (it can't be). That might be a minus. |

Hmmm... but is it absurd to think that you'd get a great job after completing this degree?

Not necessarily. It's hard for me to assess your career opportunitites after having finished this program. It would probably be best for you to ask people working in international law (perhaps at an international organisation)!

So basically... its a risky situation... even though the university is great, the faculty is great and even the location is great... the only problem is... we dont know the future after doing a llm from here...Wed Nov 07, 2007 04:49 AM but considering its location... im thinking it would have influence on the major international organizations... nO? Basically what im trying to ask is... would it have the brand power to gets its students into the best organizations in the world? |

Actually, there are more International Organisations located in Geneva, Switzerland than in Vienna.Sun Nov 11, 2007 09:38 AM I recommend you to have a look to the website of the University of Geneva (Graduate Institute of International Studies). It's your best option in Europe. International organizations in Geneva : World Trade Organization (WTO) The WTO, established on 1 January 1995, is the legal and institutional foundation of the multilateral trading system. It provides the principal contractual obligations determining how governments frame and implement domestic trade legislation and regulations. It is also the platform on which trade relations among countries evolve through collective debate, negotiation and adjudication United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) UNCTAD is the principal organ of the United Nations General Assembly in the field of trade and development. UNCTAD members aim to achieve steady sustained growth in all countries and to accelerate the development of developing countries, so that all people can enjoy economic and social well-being The World Bank - Geneva Office United Nations Development Program (UNDP) The UNDP promotes human development, seeking to create opportunities through which people's abilities, talents and creativity can find full expression. International Trade Center (ITC) The ITC UNCTAD/WTO is the focal point in the United Nations system for technical cooperation with developing countries in trade promotion. As an executing agency of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), ITC is directly responsible for implementing UNDP-financed projects in developing countries and economies in transition related to trade promotion. Bank for International Settlements (BIS) United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) Geneva is home to the second largest United Nations office, after the New York Headquarters. UNOG is the largest and most active centre for conference diplomacy in the world and the site of many historic negotiations. Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) The Inter-Parliamentary Union, the focal point for world-wide parliamentary dialogue, works for peace and co-operation among peoples and for the firm establishment of representative democracy. International Law Commission (ILC) The ILC is a UN body devoted to the codification and progressive development of international law. Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) The UN/ECE is the forum at which the countries of North America, western, central and eastern Europe and central Asia come together to forge the tools of their economic cooperation. International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) The ICRC, independent of all governments and international organisations, endeavours to promote international humanitarian law and the fundamental human values underlying that law. The ICRC was founded by Geneva citizens in 1863 and has its headquarters in Geneva. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) The UNHCR provides protection and assistance to the world's refugees. Today, the UNHCR is one of the world's principal humanitarian agencies, with headquarters in Geneva, and offices in some 115 countries. More than 80 percent of UNHCR's 5,000-member staff work in the field, often in isolated, dangerous and difficult conditions. The UNHCR has twice been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its work. United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) The focal point for the activities of the United Nations in the field of human rights is located in Geneva at the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). International Telecommunications Union (ITU) The ITU, which became a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1947, is an intergovernmental organization, within which the public and private sectors cooperate for the development of telecommunications. European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) was established in 1960 by the Stockholm Convention to eliminate tariffs and other restrictions on trade between EFTA members. World Economic Forum (WEF) The Geneva-based Word Economic Forum is widely known through its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The WEF is an NGO in consultative status (Category 1) with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Other economic forum based in Geneva: Crans-montana forum United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is an autonomous agency engaging in multi-disciplinary research on the social dimensions of contemporary problems affecting development. International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD or the Centre) was established in Geneva in September 1996 to contribute to a better understanding of development and environment concerns in the context of international trade. South Centre The South Centre works for the benefit of the South as a whole, making efforts to ensure that all developing countries and interested groups and persons have access to its publications and the results of its work, irrespective of membership. etc etc etc [Edited 11 Nov 2007 by RR] |
