HI, guys!
what do you think about the LLM program in Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam ?

Thank you in advance!


HI Amy,
I had the same question sever weeks ago. nobody ever responded. I'm accepoted to Vrije University's International Commercial and Trade Law programme. Considering that I've got full scholarship for this course, I'm going there without hasitation as I don't have anything to loose. Well, if the programme is not very good, I can at least spend a year in Amsterdam :))..
Are you also accepted at Vrije? are you coming? which programme?

ONCE AGAIN, ANYBODY!!! PLEASE TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT VRIJE UNIVERSITY

Hi there everyone. It is very strange, but when I was registering fot Vrije University program, I was informed that no scholarship is available. Therefore, I prefered Pallas program. Does anyone knows about Pallas itself? I am concerned about studying quality.

Dear

Pallas is a very good program. A lot of law firms are involved in teaching. The program has also a quite good reputation so don t worry. I think it is a much better choice than the vrije universiteit of Amsterdam

Anyone going to Groningen,

Good choice! I myself are a student in Groningen (not a law student but international relations) and I can only say that Groningen was awarded the best law-faculty in the Netherlands plus it's the nicest city if you like to be among many many students... as far as the housing-office: be alarmed, be quick! Housing international students unfortunately isn't the best skill of the RUG. But if you are quick and persistent, you won't m have too many problems finding a room. Good luck! Mees

Hi there, the thing is that I have the scholarship from my own country's government... As far as I know Vrije University is not giving any financial aid.

Don t worry,

The pallas program s quality is quite good. A lot of prestigious law firms take part in the program. As you in the description the llm pallas consortium offers, you got at the end a llm that is recognised by ten universities. Professors of these ten universities take part in teaching.

So, now we all are busy with our studies :) Let's write our feedbacks here..
I'm busy with my LLM Int. Commercial and Trade law programm in Vrije University of Amsterdam. Program is really great... This is my second masters (so I'm really experienced in LLMs) and frankly speaking I was happy to discover that this program is much better than I expacted it to be..

What about others?

Dear all,

I am Dalek and I am a graduate school student from Taiwan.
Would you like to provide me with the information about law school in nl?

I am dealing with exchange program for my institution. Is there any law school focus on TELECOMMUNICATION LAW or WTO REGULATIONS and the program is taught in English?

Thanks for your kind reply.

Hi Guys,

I am a Dutch law student and I saw your questions regarding several dutch law schools. I just want to draw your attention to the latest Elsevier ranking for law schools
1. Tilburg University
2. Groningen
3. Utrecht
4. Amsterdam Free University
5. Nijmegen
6.Maastricht
7. University of Amsterdam
8. Leiden
9. Eurasmus Rotterdam

This ranking was made by Dutch Law Professors.
Also, Tilburg University is ranked # 35 in the world in the latest SSRN law school ranking, being the second European University after Cambridge. Its only a young university, but a really good one. Leiden is the oldest university in the Netherlands, and is therefore the most well-known one abroad, but its reputation is based on performance in the past, rather than on present achievements.

Maybe this is of any help for you in deciding wich university to choose.

Can you give a reference for your rankings?

The picture is a bit different if you look at the 2005 global university ranking by the Institute of Higher Education, Shanghai. Please note that this ranking does take into account the performance in the past, such as the number of Nobel prize winners, see ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2005/ ARWU2005Methodology.htm#Meth1
Also it's not a ranking of law schools, but of universities in general:

01 Univ Cambridge
02 Univ Oxford
03 Imperial Coll London
04 Univ Coll London
05 Swiss Fed Inst Tech - Zurich
06 Univ Utrecht
07 Karolinska Inst Stockholm
08 Univ Paris 06
09 Univ Edinburgh
10 Univ Munich
11 Tech Univ Munich
12 Univ Manchester
13 Univ Copenhagen
13 Univ Zurich
15 Uppsala Univ
16 Univ Paris 11
17 Univ Bristol
18 Univ Sheffield
19 Moscow State Univ
20 Univ Oslo
21 Univ Heidelberg
22 Univ Leiden
23 Univ Helsinki
24 King's Coll London
25 Univ Nottingham

Hi David,

I would suggest to check the programmes offered byTilburg University. Currently, it is the best university in NL. The content of International and European Business Law is much more interesting than in Amsterdam (at least for me).
