I found an interesting programme offer by this Academy. Is a Master of Advanced international Studies. I would like to know about it's reputation, the quality of the programme, job prospetcs, etc. Anyone applying there? Thanks in advanced.

Best regards.

The program does not start until next September, so the course has no reputation at all. Check back in May 2009 when the first group of candidates are finishing up the Masters. I've been looking at it as well, but I am a bit iffy on doing a new untested program. Vienna has a very good reputation. It is the best school in Austria, and in the top 5 between Austria and Germany.

Hi Lofty!! thaks for your response. Well, I don't know if i'm right but I have understood that the Academy is offering this programme since 1999 as a one year programme with the prerequisite of a year diploma, and since 2007-2008 a two year programme. I agree with you, but maybe there are people here who are in the programme 2007-2008, so they could tell us if the programme worths. Is anyone studying in Vienna?

Are you talking about this program? www.llm-guide.com/university/693/universitaet-wien…

If you are, then it is a new Masters. I thought it was starting in September 2008, but according to the first line on the website listed below, it commenced in September 2007.
public.univie.ac.at/index.php?id=11549

As far as I know, it is a one year LLM in International Legal Studies. That's the way it's advertised.

It does look interesting, but I'm weary of trying new things. I'd rather do a tried and tested Masters. Not rightly sure how a Masters in International Legal Studies would help me as a Barrister in Ireland anyway!

There may be a few people popping up that have just finished it with info about it over the next few weeks or months. So, keep your ear to the ground.

Hello Lofty!! Well, the programme that I'm talking about you could find it here www.da-vienna.ac.at/ViewPage.asp?Site=DAVIENNA&Lan…
I'm more interested in this one since it's core courses consist in history, diplomacy, law, economics and politics.

Well, I can honestly say I have never heard of the place. I never trust a college that doesn't tell you on their main page who the governing/awarding body of their degrees are, and I can't find anything about who recognises them on their site.

However, a quick Google and I found a few reputable sites saying the place is a good institution. Honestly though, I know nothing about the course and the place, so I'm not going to be much help.

The fact that it isn't listed on LLM-Guide is probably the reason there's nobody to answer your questions about the pace. Try dropping the moderators an email asking them to add the institution and its programs.
