I don't think there is much difference between KCL and LSE. But i'm going for LSE's strong international reputation. However, if you are interested in tax law, you should maybe consider Leiden and Vienna as well. I have heard they are good... And by the way, I'm from Norway.

Really nice city and the programme sounds excellent, but since my mother tongue is German, this wouldn't help to improve my English so much. Leiden seems a bit expensive... Now waiting on some answers..... Do you think tax law programmes are popular? Most people seem to go for different programmes?

Bush Joined: 18 Jan 2006 Posts: 24	LLM in tax law Sun Feb 10, 2008 06:23 AM I see your point conserning the language. However, i am pretty sure that the LSE fee is higher than Leiden's. I have no idea if LLM in tax is especially popular. But I guess someone has to learn tax law :) I have lately considered int' tax programs on the continent as an alternative to a London LLM in tax. Do you know if the int' tax programs in Leiden, Vienna, European Tax College (Tilburg/Leuven) and Maastricht have a solid reputation among scholars and the big law firms compared to the tax programs at LSE and KCL?

I really would want to go to LSE, but am not sure were else has a good reputation as it regards tax law. Any suggestions. By the way I am from Jamaica (West Indies).

If you plan to work in London - better to study there - you are closer for interviews with potential employers. But at least two people from our class got London offers studying in Leiden now. Other prefer Luxembourg - busy place for international tax people as lot of Leiden alumni work there and you get in touch and get job offers. There are also recruiting here in Holland, but your Dutch language skills are very important for further integration on the workplace. Starting from this year Leiden program organises career events (first due this April) to help students and companies meet each other.

Got also admitted to NYU international tax law programme, which definitely has the best reputation, but even with the current dollar rate it's much more expensive than anything in Europe.
