KCL is ranked 4th in the latest rankings. It's below Oxford, Cambridge and LSE. But don't go by the rankings for the LLM since the rankings are more for the LL.B course than the LLM.

As far as reputation of KCL is concerned you can't go wrong.

People, are you going crazy?.. Like what, the position of the university in ranking table will provide you with the dream job?! It never will! Accept it... the reputation matters, the Professors, the courses, which you have chosen, the potential award... BUT NOT RANKINGS!

KCL has the reputation, it has a good academics... What else do you need?..

Hi

I did my LL.B in 1997 from Delhi University. Have been working since then. Have done both litigation and corporate law work.

Now I'm running my own law firm but will let my professional colleagues handle my clients' and pending work while I go for the LLM to KCL.

I'm taking the International Finance LLM at KCL. Basically taking up M&A, Corporate Finance and International Finance I, II and III. But will decide finally after I reach KCL and attend the first week of classes.

I agree with what MariArti has written above. Don't go by the rankings. With names like Oxford, Cambridge, LSE. UCL, KCL you can't go wrong at all. Any of them will be good enough if you do well. What matters more is what subjects you take up, your areas of interest and how well you do in the LLM.

In any case doing a LLM is no guarantee of a job. So decide based on what you want to do rather than on rankings and job perspective/ opportunities after the LLM.

Thats very right... IS it that competition for more sought after subjects is intense than the others? I mean in terms of admission in a university....

I don't think the subjects you choose will affect the admission decision so long as you meet the criteria.

More so as you only choose the final subjects you're going to study after you enroll and attend the first week of classes at KCL. I might put certain subjects in my application form but may attend the first week of classes and change my final choices.
