The funding, however, seems rather hard to sort out. I am a Bulgarian national currently studying in Germany, that means no student loans available and limited eligibilty for most scholarship programs. Are there any law firms who sponsor this kind of a degree? If anyone has any ideas or the same problem, would be nice to hear from you.

I'm still waiting for a decision, but I was looking for scholarships already. I have no idea if law firms sponsore LLM except from the scholarship over the DAAD (alfred gleiss). Good luck in finding a sponsore anyway!

I wouldn't worry if I were you, I'm still waiting for Oxford and KCL... Am just trying to persuade the DAAD to accept a late application on their LLM-program:) Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:08:00 +0200 thumy: Funding a LLM at the LSE http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45606/last#45634 Okay, good luck then. Did think of trying to persuade some german institution :) If you get in LSE you schouldn't have problems with getting an offer from KCL, if this is an option for you. Did you write the Erstes Staatsexamen? What is the entry requirement for LSE? Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:40:00 +0200 Ella: Funding a LLM at the LSE http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45606/last#45638 Yes, wrote in March, still waiting for the results... Entry requirements are a high VB to a Gut, which is, of course, differently tough to get depending on the Bundesland. If you get some ridiculous condition (e.g. 14 in Baden-Württemberg), you can try and talk to the admission office about that. There was somebody on the site with a totally unrealistic offer from Cambridge, I think. Although funding may turn out tougher than even a Gut in Bayern, as it seems :) Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:21:00 +0200 thumy: Funding a LLM at the LSE http://www.llm-guide.com/board/45606/last#45663 Might be true ;-) I'm anxious to know what a high VB is supposed to be... Hopefully they finalise their decisions these days. Could be a good sign you got an offer today, so they might be moving on. Fingers crossed for your State Exam and Funding!
