There are some good programs in the Netherlands such as Leiden University (LL.M. Public International Law), Utrecht University, University of Groningen, Maastricht University. University of Lund (Sweden), University of Oslo and University of Malta also offer a Human Rights LL.M. I am not sure if the one in Malta is actually an LL.M. It is called "Mediterranean Master of Arts in Human Rights and Democratization" and looks really intersting for lawyers planning to practice Human Rights Law in the Mediterranean area.

Hi,

You should check out the program at Lunds University, Sweden – The Raoul Wallenberg institute www.rwi.lu.se/index.shtml . One of the advantages of taking a LLM in Sweden is that you don’t have to pay any tuition – education is funded by the government.

Hey Md.Abu Boker, I think you got things a litlle wrong here: If you want to apply to a university you should contact them directly, in this forum you will only meet other students, also, I am not sure you want your personal details to be shared with the whole world ;-)

Hi Ricarda,
I think University of Lund has a very good program in Human Rights, to which I have also applied for their Human Rights and Intellectual Property LLM. I hope this information will be of help to you.

Utrecht University (where the Netherlands' Institute of Human Rights has its seat) also has an interesting well appreciated program.
Hope to see you there!

University of Essex. It is the oldest LLM in human rights in Europe and the professors work also in the UN Human Rights Commission as Special Rapporteurs and legal adviser. Well known also in UN.

Hey,
I got accepted into the Utrecht LLM international and european protection of human rights. This is great, but brutally expensive (9000) for a dutch program. I cannot aply for any scholarship sincde I am actaully a dutch student, and then you just cant apply. Anyway. How well appreciated is the degree of this masters, how did other students get the money together, and does anyone know stories of people that did the degree, concerning the level and career perspectives afterwards?
Cheers,
Sanne

I would in anyway prefer to apply for the MA in human rights and conflict studies in Utrecht, except for it's MA and not a LL.M. Thats a choice I guess! The MA is a regular programme.

The University of Groningen is starting a LL.M in international Human Rights this year I guess, but if you want to be sure send an email to the faculty. Groningen had been awarded the best Law faculty of the Netherlands, if that means anything.

Does anyone know anything about the programme at Oslo's university?

Oxford Human Rights

It's actually not an LLM but a Master of Studies (MSt), see www.llm-guide.com/university/118 or www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/international/mastersd…

"Q: What is a Master of Studies degree and how does it differ from an LLM?

A: In Oxford the primary one-year post-graduate degree in the humanities and social sciences, including law, is the Masters of Studies (MSt). The University of Oxford offers no LLM degree in any field of law. This course is an MSt because it is taken part-time over two years and thus is equivalent to one year of full-time study. Oxford offers a Master of Studies (MSt) rather than an LLM degree for historical reasons unrelated to the content or sophistication of the course of study. Is the MSt equivalent to an LLM? Yes. In both cases students normally are expected to have a first degree in Law. In both cases the level of instruction and subject offerings are similar."

Doubts about Lund
Wed Nov 09, 2005 09:36 PM
Hi,
I've applied for Lund's LLM in human rights and intellectual property rights this year and I was nominatted for a scholarship. However, I was not awarded and I didn't have enough money to support myself for a year in Sweden (I'm form Brazil - not an european citizen), I had to let it go. I had no idea of aforum like this. Can anyone tell me how is it to live in Lund? Is it an expensive town? Are there job opportunities?

Does any one knows about other universities who have LLMprograms in the human rights field which are free like Lund's?

Cheers from Brazil,
Ulysses.

I think thomascrown - www.llm-guide.com/board/2868 - should be able to answer your question about Lund. He is a student there.

Hi Ricarda and everybody,

I'm from Russia and looking for LL.M in Human Rights too.
I've found one more LL.M in Human Rights in
The UCIHL (University Centre for International Humanitarian Law) in Geneva.

But unfortunantelly it's a new one program (since 2002) and i'm not sure it's well known in the world of education...

Does enybody know about the reputation of the LL.M in this place?? Please help..

Thanks a lot in Advance.

Good luck guys :)

Master Degree in Law of Human rights
Sun Nov 27, 2005 03:01 PM
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.
