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!

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44863 hi, Rachie, I was admitted by Tilburg and decided to go there in August. Oh thats nice! Where are u from?

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44912 Hi, I am also admitted to International Business Law programme. I am from Turkey. See you all in August 2008 there. I have a little question in between: Do you have any ranking info about the Tilburg law faculty for year 2007??? Thanks in advance.. by Sat, 05 Apr 2008 16:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44914 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? Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44960 I am Chinese. How about you? There is still some time till the deadline. If you really want to know the result soon, just write them a mail. I did that. Well the answer I am more excited about is Utrecht... But that takes 12 weeks. I'm gonna e-mail them now as you said. I'll let you know once I got the answer hehe! I already am in touch with other people who are going to Tilburg next year. :) Sun, 06 Apr 2008 23:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44980 Hey! I am going to do EU law LLM at Leiden University. Anyone else here going there? Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#44983 Hey! I am going to do EU law LLM at Leiden University. Anyone else here going there? I applied to Leiden as well but I don't think I'll like to live there so I gave up on that one :P Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45003 Hey! I am going to do EU law LLM at Leiden University. Anyone else here going there? I've applied to Leiden. But still no answer. I don't have a legal background, maybe that's why they are hesitating. :-) Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45017 I was admitted today at Tilburg too! :) Fully confirmed! :DD Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45197 Hi, 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! Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45202 Hi, 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! That's exactly the same 4 universities I applied to! :P Let me know when u have an answer from Utrecht! We might be colleagues in Utrecht then! Where are u from? Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45244 Hi, I've been admitted in Tilburg, but like you Rachie, Utrecht is my first choice, so I'm waiting to hear from them.

We might be colleagues in Utrecht then! Where are u from? 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.

(I'm a Law of the Sea nut...) I'm French, currently studying Political Science in Strasbourg. 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 :) Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45592 Hey there I m Alex from Switzerland. I got accepted to Tilburg and i ll definitely go there in august. It would be nice to make some pre-contacts. So if anybody goes there as well, feel free to contact me. I m looking forward to it. Cheers Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45709 Hey guys, make up your final decision to Tilburg? I did. The programme I chose is The International Business Law. Hope to find some classmates here. here is my MSN: heiyabo@126.com Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45731 I'm wondering how many people have received an answer from Utrecht, and how many are still waiting. 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?

Does anyone have tips on how to find a room in a shared apartment that wouldn't make me completely broke? 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! Wed, 16 Apr 2008 18:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45750 Ooops... You already told me you are from France! Ill send u a PM now! :) Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45909 Hi everyone, iīve 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. juliettelucie, you write that youīre 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 wonīt be a lawyer... Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#45924 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. If any former LLM students are around, can you tell us what kind of jobs you got? Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46099 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? Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46105 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 I think that if they are asking is because they are interested and considering your application. :) That's only my opinion tho! Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46173 Hey all, 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! Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46175 Hello everyone, I just got an answer from Utrecht, they say my background in law isnīt sufficient. And this with 12 credits in public and international law and honours...well well well i donīt know what to say except that this leaves me with tilburg as first option. Anyone else replies from Utrecht already? Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46186 Hello everyone, I just got an answer from Utrecht, they say my background in law isnīt sufficient. And this with 12 credits in public and international law and honours...well well well i donīt know what to say except that this leaves me with tilburg as first option. Anyone else replies from Utrecht already? Still waiting... but your answer worries with, as I don't have the biggest background in law either... Did you apply for PIL? Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46193 Hey all, 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 also applied to Utrecht but to International and European Law (specialization in european law)... Hope to see you there anyway :) Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46237 I applied both to the EU Law and to the International Business Law programme. I should say I was really quite confused with their answer, as I had first sent them an inquiry about whether my background in law was sufficient. They said they needed 6 credits preferably in International and European Law, which was exactly one of my minors at Bonn. So I have quite more than 6 credits, and an honours. By the way, I got the impression that something was very wrong with the selection and organization at Utrecht, as they kept sending me all kinds of questions and were sometimes not familiar with their own application requirements. Oh, and the application form was also quite strange.... Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46242 Hey guys, Anybody knows a bit about the MAS in PIL at Leiden University? I am really interested in doing it, but would be great if I could have an insight about the quality of the program, lectures and job perspectives after that. Tks Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46268 Yesterday I received the acceptance letter from Utrecht, for the Master in Law & Economics! Does anyone applied for this master? I'm not sure if I should choose Tilburg IBL or Utrecht L&E. I appreciate if someone has some backgroung from Utrecht L&E. Good luck to all with te admission process. I also hope to meet some of you in August. Thanks, Angela Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46373 hey Rafael, I applied to the LLM in PIL at Leiden and got accepted. My background is a International Relations BA from Germany. From all I heard Leiden is one of the best place to study PIL in Europe, if not world wide. Just read a review yesterday that confirmed this impression. Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46405 Hey all, 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...

Anyway I think you should choose the one that suits u the most (per example, compare the courses and all of that)... I am gonna choose Utrecht over Tilburg, mostly because of what I heard about the reputation of their law school and master degrees, but also because they have very interesting courses and because they offer me the chance to do an internship! So yes, this is why I prefer Utrecht. It also seems to have more practical courses, than theory itself, and that's def, what I think I need. I delivered my application in hand (on the 14th of March) and although I know I was accepted I didn't receive any official letter of acceptance yet. They say it can take up to 12 weeks, so we'll see! I won't deny the offer to Tilburg until I receive the letter of acceptance from Utrecht, that's for sure! Good luck :) Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46408 Hey, I got admitted for the MAS in PIL at Leiden University. Quite nice, but still thinking. Rafael Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46573 Hey, I've just been admitted to PIL in Amsterdam! Still waiting for Utrecht, but that means I won't be going to Tilburg... Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#46626 Hey, I've just been admitted to PIL in Amsterdam! Still waiting for Utrecht, but that means I won't be going to Tilburg...

Hello Angela, I got accepted to Tilburg as well (not in Law but in another master) and I was wondering how did you get the scholarship acceptance? I got nominated for HSP Huygens scholarship, but I didn't get. And I was wondering if you know how they make their choices about the Tilburg Scholarship? Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/44656/last#48652 Hello everyone. I begun to study my llm eu law in Amsterdam in Feb. 2008. So I will continue with you till Feb. 2009. If U have any questions just ask. But I have to say that I am very satisfied with UvA programme. We have a lot of elective courses. I have friends studying in other univ.(leiden) and their programme is almost totally compulsory. Even thoug in was also in doubts sometimes now I know that UvA is a very good choice! And its good to live in Adam, moreover the accommodation is much cheaper than in smaller university towns.
