Int. / EU - The Netherlands 2008/2009
Hey there!Wed Apr 02, 2008 02:14 PM So... After a long journey I am almost graduating in my home country (Portugal) and already applied for several Universities/LLMs in The Netherlands. The LLM of my choice is International / European Law (with specialization in EU Law) and I applied to: uVa (Ams) - I was already accepted Tilburg Utrecht (my first option, but they take sooo long to give you an answer ai ai ai...) Leiden I am (hopefully) starting in September (2008). Is anyone also applying for this LLM in any of these Universities? Hope to hear from you guys! [Edited 03 Apr 2008 by Rachie] |

hi, Mehmet, you can check the rank on Tilburg website to see its ranking. As far as I know, it ranked 1st in Europe according to the Social Science Research Network and this might be the latest one. Have you received the letter of intent and a letter about the visa? I haven't received the former but the later. Did they asked you to transfer the money within to weeks?

Mon Apr 07, 2008 10:27 AM Hey! I've applied to Leiden. But still no answer. I don't have a legal background, maybe that's why they are hesitating. :-) |

Hi,Wed Apr 09, 2008 05:50 PM I've been admitted in Tilburg, but like you Rachie, Utrecht is my first choice, so I'm waiting to hear from them. I'd love to get in Amsterdal and Leiden too, but Tilburg is already awesome! |

Thu Apr 10, 2008 09:14 AM Hi, Hi, I also applied to Rotterdam, but now that I'm taken in Tilburg, I decided to forget it, even if I'm taken there. What made you choose Utrecht out of all the others? For me, it was the Law of Sea department they have there, and also the fact that they're the only ones to offer an elective in that subject. (I'm a Law of the Sea nut...) I'm French, currently studying Political Science in Strasbourg. |

Thu Apr 10, 2008 05:08 PM Hi, I was also accepted in Tilburg as I said above, but Utrecht's reputation is way better than Tilburg or so. Leiden and Utrecht are considered top universities around Europe that's why I prefer to accept the place in Utrecht. Anyway, as far as I can see a lot of people here are applying and taking the place that was offered to them in Tilburg. Utrecht also offers an internship during the LLM (on the elective course u can choose it) and the other subjects are also pretty interesting too! :) So you are gonna accept Tilburg, right? I received their letter through the post today by the way hehe! Good luck! I'm Portuguese, I live in Lisbon and I study here too :) |

Who will definitely go to Tilburg in August 2008
I'm wondering how many people have received an answer from Utrecht, and how many are still waiting.Wed Apr 16, 2008 01:44 PM Their information says the answers comes in 12 weeks, does it really take that long? I'm really anxious to hear from them, as they're my first choice. Also, quite unrelated: I'm doing an internship in Amsterdam this summer, from June 1st to August 31st, and it looks like housing is a nightmare. Does anyone have tips on how to find a room in a shared apartment that wouldn't make me completely broke? [Edited 16 Apr 2008 by juliettelucie] |

Wed Apr 16, 2008 04:10 PM I'm wondering how many people have received an answer from Utrecht, and how many are still waiting. The best way to find a room in The Netherlands is through the website www.kamernet.nl I already know I was accepted in Utrecht but it wasn't an official acceptance letter, so we have to wait I guess. where are you from by the way ( I guess I didn't ask before)? Well I hope we can meet in Utrecht, it means we were both (officially) accepted! |

Hi everyone, i´ve also been admitted to the IBL at Tilburg. Still wondering though, am waiting for the replies from UvA, EMLE and Utrecht. But Tilburg is already great.Fri Apr 18, 2008 10:49 AM juliettelucie, you write that you´re currently studying political science. What do you plan to do with the llm afterwards? I am asking because my first masters was also in PA, I studied at the University of Bonn, Germany, with minors economics and european law. On the one hand i really want to do the LLM, on the other though, I sometimes have my doubts whether this would actually be that wise, since I won´t be a lawyer... |

after the LLM...
After the LLM, I hope to work for NGOs in legal counsel and international relations. I'd love to be a lawyer, but I don't have enough knowledge of any national law to try out for a bar exam, and honestly, I'm kind of tired of studying, so after this, I want to start working instead of starting over.Fri Apr 18, 2008 03:12 PM If any former LLM students are around, can you tell us what kind of jobs you got? |

I got an e-mail from Amsterdam today asking for more details about my background in law, as I come from political science. Has anyone else recieved that e-mail? Is this a good sign?

Hey all,Tue Apr 22, 2008 01:54 PM I am Angela, from Colombia (south america) and it's great to read that many of us around the world are in the same situation... I have also been admitted to IBL Master at Tilburg, and I also got the Tilburg Scholarship :D However, as many of you, I am also waiting for Utrecht to reply, which was my first option... I applied for the Master in Law & Economics (I have formal undergraduate studies both in law and in economics) Has anyone applied to the L&E Master there? Could anyone give me advise on what to do if I am admitted to Utrecht also? I thank you all in advance and hope to keep in touch Regards! |
