LLM in ICGFREL

Being a new member of the club, I firstly extend my warmest regards to all before I type my first post...
The new LLM in International Corporate Governance, Financial Regulation and Economic Law from School of Advanced Legal studies, University of London.
I've heard members exchanging views about the one at Warwick but not SAS.
Opinions requested please...

I think this LLM in ICGFREL is the same programme that was offered at Warwick. The Course designer is the same, but there may be differences in the modules offered.

I was also planning to apply for LLM in International Corporate Governance, Financial Regulation and Economic Law at IALS but as you rightly pointed out, IALS doesn't figure in any rankings and I believe this course has been recently started by IALS.

Just curious, what were the major deciding factors that prompted/motivated you to join this course?

Any idea about the names of Lecturers who would be teaching in this programme (IALS just mentions the name of Dr Kern Alexander on their site for this course).

And if you don't mind me asking, do you have a law background and what sort of career do you intend pursuing after completing this course?

Hi Reeta

My entire reason to pursue this course is the course content. To be honest I am not much bothered about the paper certifications or their ranking in terms of TIME's caliberations. At the end of the day what it essentially boils down to is the degree of your ability that you incorporate the scholarisation of it with.

Apart from my personal opinion recorded above, the very reason for the SAS's existence is to advance the legal research at national level, which means that these research theses are going to be used as basis for UK's national policies especially in the field of financial law. Which, in my opinion again, is absolutely worth doing a research in...and why not acquire an LLM from Uni of London at the same time.

My background goes as: I hold two degrees, one in Town Planning and the other is LL.B....and have been Assistant Director for a National Financial Investigation organisation for a while. After the completion of this course I look forward to working as compliance director in a multi-national financial activity. And as I am going to become a registered solicitor next year as well, so evetually I plan set up my own firm exercising legal, financial, anti-money laundering consultancy.
