I am currently deciding on whether to attend Leiden or Edinburgh for a LLM in european business law. I am a US student. All I know about the two schools is that which i can gather from their websites. I have never been to Europe before. Factors weighing on my decision: city life, people at school, professors, coursework, etc. If someone could give me some information regarding these and other considerations, I would be much obliged.

For quality of life, I would recommand Edinburgh, but that's just me. Scotland is quieter than the NL, and while NL has beautiful towns, Scotland has both beautiful towns and a great countryside.Fri May 02, 2008 01:57 PM For the programs themselves, both schools are well rated, but Edinburgh slightly more so. I don't think you should let that be the key to your choice. Compare the optionnal courses and see what you like more. I know Leiden doesn't offer much flexibility, not sure about Edinburgh. |

All I can tell you is that Leiden is recognized as one of the best law schools around Europe. It has a very good reputation both in bachelors and master degrees...

I chose Holland, afterall :D hehe! |
