European Tax College or LLM in Saarbrücken
hello,Mon Aug 04, 2008 10:53 AM I am accepted to ETC to LLM in taxation law and LLM in economic law in Saarbrucken, but I'm realy hesitating. first of all, tuition fee is different. in Saarbrucken it is € 4000, in ETC € 8750. About future perspective, I am sure about work opportunities in Holland and Germany. Please advise. thanks [Edited 04 Aug 2008 by swissch] |

Mon Aug 04, 2008 07:17 PM hello, Hi! As an (almost) alumni of the Saarbrücken program I definitely can recommend it. The level is quite high and the atmosphere amongst the students is very international. Your choice should be based on your future job-perspective. If you already know, that you want to work in financial/tax law, the specific tax-law program might be the better choice. The range of the economic-law program at the Europa-Institute is broader. It covers for example competition law, intellectual property, tax law, corporate law... So if you want to have a broader knowledge/background of (European) economic law, this is your (and was my) choice. Best, E. www.europainstitut.de |

hello,Thu Aug 07, 2008 11:39 AM I'm accepted into the LLM program in English (master of European law) at Europa-Institute of Saarland, however, I'm confused about what language on earth the curriculum will use. Are there any compulsory courses that are taught in German? I don't know German, so I will give up this program, if part of courses are taught in German. Does anyone know this? thanks! |

Thu Aug 07, 2008 12:00 PM hello, Hi Karen, you have three possibilities to absolve the program concerning the language: 1. completely in English 2. completely in German 3. a mix of both There are compulsory courses (eg Introduction to EC-law), but if so, there will always be a German and an English course. So no worries about not speaking German! It is absolutely and without any problems possible to absolve the course completely in English. Hope I could help... :-) E. www.europainstitut.de |

I do not really recommend Saarbrücken for postgraduate studies even if the University has a good reputation. Thu Aug 07, 2008 07:00 PM Actually, the city is very old and ugly. It is not like Heidelberg, Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt. By the way, t is very depressing to live in Saarbrücken if you come from a big city (specially during the winter). good luck |

Thu Aug 07, 2008 07:08 PM I do not really recommend Saarbrücken for postgraduate studies even if the University has a good reputation. Actually the majority of last year's students see this differently... :-) We had a VERY nice time in Saarbrücken! Best, Eric |
