Queen Mary or other
Hi everyone, Sun Jun 15, 2008 07:02 PM I need some help and advice to choose the best school and programme in UK. I got offers from Queen Mary, Kent and Nottingham Trent but I also want to apply for Liverpool and Manchester. I want to study medical law (health law; health care law). I can't decide which one to prefer. Maybe there are other schools for LLM in medical law that is much more better. If nobody knows about medical law, maybe there is any other advice for LLM in above mentioned schools. Which is better and why, how many students, quality, attitude, etc. Thanks. |

Queen Mary or other
I am currently doing an LLM at Nottingham Law School (Nottingham Trent University) in European Law. However, I know some of the people from the Health Law LLM. They all seem to be very happy with their course. As I am not from England, but from Germany, I cannot tell you much about the other Universities. If you only look on the rankings, Queen Mary seems to be the "best" University (whatever that means...). Nottingham Law School is however, also very high ranked in the ranking of this website. I really enjoy my time here (apart from the crime in Nottingham...which might be similar in Liverpool and Manchester...London anyway...dont know Kent). I think the standard and the work load is quite high (more than I thought). You have to write 7 essays of 4,000 words, a research proposal of 1,500 words and a dissertation at the end of 18,000-20,0000 words. The teachers in my course were without exception very motivated and seemed to be very well educated. The overall climate on the campus and among the courses is quite familar. Although the Law School is in fact rather big (I think 2500 law students), the teachers and staff are mostly friendly and help you wherever they can. I was not used to that from Germany. The courses mostly consist of 5-15 students which is really excellent for learning progress. The library is very new and has excellent online facilities. The Law School itself is also situated in a very new (and posh!) building...with a great cantine ;-) ! Btw: Dean is Keith Gaines, former partner of Lovells.Mon Jun 16, 2008 02:13 PM In Germany the Law School is very high ranked (although we are not that crazy about rankings): www.azur-online.de/pic/2005_01_LLM-GB.pdf (p. 8 of 9, 29 respectively) www.anwaltsblatt-karriere.de/downloads/Heft1/LLM-R… (p. 2) Both articles are in German. The Law School's website is: www.ntu.ac.uk/nls/ Hope, that helps! If you need more information, just let me know. |
