LLM Discussion Board

[Edited by Vaho on 31 Jan 2007]

I posted my application form to the Lund University few days ago. My second option is the Essex University (both LLM in HR). In the UK there is a quiet high fee (for me it is high, but I'm not from the UK) so Lund would be better for me. On the other hand I've heard so much good about scandinavian countries, especially Sweden, so actually my biggest dream is to get access at Lund.
I'm looking for other applicants to Lund, sharing our experiences, information, etc.

The programme at the University of Geneva isn't in human rights law per se, nor is it an LL.M. programme exactly. First, it offers a degree in humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict), not human rights law. Secondly, it no longer offers an LL.M., but a 'Master in Advanced Studies', which is regarded as the equivelant of an LL.M.

As far as its reputation: for those interested in humanitarian law in particular, it provides excellent instruction and career opportunities. Because of its proximity to the ICRC (also located in Geneva), many of the world's foremost scholars in this field research there. It is also affiliated offically with the ICRC, which provides students with opportunities not available at locations more distant from Geneva.
