Anyone taking an tax law LLM in the academic year 2008/2009. I applied to LSE, KCL and Queen Mary. Any other suggestions? Hope to get some replies. Thanks Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#39824 Hi, I am planning on doing a LLM in tax law for the academic year 2008/2009. I have applied for KCL and LSE. Got an offer from KCL, but haven't heard anything from LSE yet... Will probably choose LSE over KCL. Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#39878 Interesting, so LSE is the place to be! How long did you wait for your offer from KCL? I was pretty late with my application... Congrats to your offer! Where you from? Fri, 08 Feb 2008 09:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#39897 KCL replied superfast. I submitted my application in early January and they replied within one week. 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?

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? Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#40114 I am actually thinking about where to apply. Looking to enter 2009, but you never know. 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). Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#40125 I have applied to Leiden, Maastricht and the European Tax College. But I dont have any information about the last two institutions. Please any current student of Maastricht or ETC, help us???

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.

I love this city!! but..what can I say.. there is really a lot of work here, we need to read given articles days and nights.. sometimes I'm really fed up! but one thing is sure! you will easily find a good job after this course. Good luck! Sun, 09 Mar 2008 09:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/39724/last#42027 I am going to study tax law at LSE - I had similar consideration as you, Thumy, concerning language improvement, why I would choose a law school in a english speaking country. 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.
