http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694 en Master Degree in Law of Human rights - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Thu, 03 Feb 2005 05:55:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#694 Any of you guys know about a good Human rights master in Europe? Thanks! Sat, 05 Feb 2005 09:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#763 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.

Thu, 10 Mar 2005 21:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#1621 Hi, You should check out the program at Lunds University, Sweden – The Raoul Wallenberg institute http://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. Best Tomas (law student at Lunds University) Fri, 18 Mar 2005 15:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#1866 Hi, Sir, I am student of Department of Law,University of Chittagong,Bangladesh.My graduation will be complete within couple of months.I want to take admissinon In LL.M Course(Human Rights) in ur University.Will i be able to take admission?if then, what criteria i will have to fullfil.May know about ur tution fee,scholarships etc. yours sincerly Md.Abu Boker Siddique(Bakul) Student of 4th Year Roll:2001/40 Department of Law University of Chittagong, Bangladesh Fri, 18 Mar 2005 15:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#1869 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 ;-) Mon, 21 Mar 2005 20:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#1987 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.

Hope to see you there! Jenny Thu, 09 Jun 2005 05:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#6110 Hi!

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 06:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#6222 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. Thu, 07 Jul 2005 11:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#6592 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 Mon, 08 Aug 2005 18:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#7202 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? Tue, 09 Aug 2005 19:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#7225 HELLO! I have just been admitted to the LL.M. in GRONINGEN!! Is there anyone that lives or has lived there?? Tell me....do you know anything about the city or the university? I have just general information....an insider view would be GREAT!! Thank you..........let me know!! Ciao! Sun, 28 Aug 2005 12:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#7438 Dear ricarda, There is a online learning programme of LLM Human Right in the Continuing Education Dept. of Oxford. http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/international/mastersdegreeininternationalhumanrightslaw.asp Hope this help =) Sun, 28 Aug 2005 16:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#7443 It's actually not an LLM but a Master of Studies (MSt), see http://www.llm-guide.com/university/118 or http://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/international/mastersdegreeininternationalhumanrightslaw.asp "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." Russ Wed, 09 Nov 2005 22:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8458 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. Thu, 10 Nov 2005 08:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8465 I think thomascrown - http://www.llm-guide.com/board/2868 - should be able to answer your question about Lund. He is a student there. Fri, 11 Nov 2005 23:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8479 Hi i wana study in humane rights Law in Leidn University.Can any one help me out for for this.I am from Pakistan. thanks in advance Diati Mon, 14 Nov 2005 10:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8508 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 :) Sun, 27 Nov 2005 16:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8714 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. Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8736 Hi, I'm finishing up my J.D. from a US university in June. Currently, I am participating in an internship in Geneva in an international non-profit. I would love to stay and work in Geneva in the field of international law and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions about whether it is preferable to attend say the University of Geneva and get a Master in Advanced Studies degree (I am interested in the intersection of human rights and environmental conservation.) or to just jump in and move here when I'm done with school and look for a job directly out of university? Thank you for any advice you can provide. Mon, 28 Nov 2005 17:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8739 I would check the programme at the University of Aberdeen as well: They teach various human rights systems but also exploring global human rights issues as well as the responses thereto afforded at an international, regional or domestic level. They have courses on offer such as International Human Rights Law, Regional Human Rights Systems, Human Rights, War and Terrorism, Peoples, Indigenous Peoples and Minorities in International Law, Issues in North American Human Rights Law, Legal Issues in Equal Treatment and Free Movement in EC Law. (see http://www.abdn.ac.uk/law/graduate/index.shtml) All the best Guinness Mon, 28 Nov 2005 22:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#8746 Hi, I'm a currently studying Social Anthropology and Public Law. I will finish up receiving a bachelor in both subjects. I would like to continue studying International Law with specialization on Human Rights in a Master's programme. But I don't know if my degree (just in public law) is enough for admission. Does anybody know of a good reputated university programme for Human Rights/International Law that doesn't ask for a bachelor in law? Thu, 15 Dec 2005 04:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#9076 I am planning to apply at the University of Lund (Masters Programme in Intellectual Property Law and Human Rights Law), although I found out from its website that they only accept around 15 students for the program. Does anybody know anyone who has qualified and taken the program? What qualifications are necessary to ensure acceptance? Thanks.. Wed, 04 Jan 2006 06:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#9445 hi, im a sri Lankan who just completed my LLB in july 2005. i am currently working at the UNDP in sri lanka. I am iterested in doing a masters programme in international human rights, International criminal law and humanitarian law.... I checked out the UCHL programme and having heard that it is not an LLM per se, lost my enthusiasm to apply there.... Could someone help me out with some suggestions for good universities for those subjects...? i am also hoping to apply for financial aid so if anyone has an idea of any particular scholarships awarded by the universities please let me know... I have also checked out the University of London external LLM. The programme did not offer the exact subjects i am keen on. Are there any other good universities in Geneva that offer LLM programmes in the subjects that i mentioned... ? Mon, 13 Mar 2006 14:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#12548 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. hey everybody ; I also applied for the same programme. Do you have further information about admission? I mean whether they are very selective or not? thank you Tue, 21 Mar 2006 02:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#13403 Hi, I've also applied for the master in human rights and intellectual property rights in Lund. I'm really looking forward for the results and hoping to get accepted. I would appreciate ANY information about the program, the university or the city. It seems the last message had the most interesting part censored. If someone want to discuss it via email, mine is ulyssesmf@hotmail.com A hug, Ulysses. Tue, 21 Mar 2006 13:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#13450 Hi, I finished my LL.M studies at Lund university in 2005. I can tell you that it is a very charming medieval city, small but with a tremendous supply for international students. With Malmö and Copenhagen within close proximity (20 and 50 minutes by train) it's an ideal place to study. The ordinary LL.M program (for Swedish students) is the hardest and most prestigous in Sweden. Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#13484 Hi! I also applied to LLM in Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights in Lund. Problem is that the results will be only in June. It's a bit too long to wait and i'm not sure they will choose me, they accept just 15 students. I already received answers from UK universities and Leiden University in the Netherlands. I'm not sure if it's wise to wait.what do you think? The programme in Lund seems to be very good and known around the world. I've been to Lund last year, it's really nice cosy city. I Wed, 05 Apr 2006 04:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#15406 Hi! I also applied to LLM in Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights in Lund.

Well, I was trying to say that if I was chosen to a LLM program besides Lund that I could afford, I wouldn't wait for Lund's results, since it's very selective (just 15 people). However, Lund's programme seems just wonderful to me. I really hope to be accepted. Sun, 16 Apr 2006 00:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#16562 Hi! The Lund Master's degree in International Human Rights Law sounds fantastic, and I'd love to apply for it (as well as the scholarship, which I'm going to need!). I will be finishing my LLB in December this year - does anyone know whether there's much chance of getting into Lund without work experience? Mon, 17 Apr 2006 18:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#16651 Hi everybody! Good to talk to people interested in the same things I am... I applied to the Master in International Human Rights Law Program at Lund University and I didn't receiveid an answer... I would like to know if somebody has any information from the University... In the web site, they said they'll make contact by mail only in June or July, but if someone already have any information, I would appreciate to have any news... Thanks in advance! Tue, 18 Apr 2006 22:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#16733 Hi Carol, I applied to Lund too and still haven't heard from them. I know 2 people that did the HRs LLM at Lund last year, 1 of them recieved a letter at the end of April and the other in the middle of May. Don't start worrying yet. Remember that they will have had some time off for Easter. It is on the otherhand a good idea to have a backup university as Lund is very competative. Good luck!!! Wed, 19 Apr 2006 17:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#16810 Thank you very much for the attention, I really appreciated that. Maybe we'll be classmates soon (I hope so). If you have any further information, would you please, be in touch?! Good luck for you too! Sun, 30 Apr 2006 02:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17556 Hi Carol, I applied to Lund too and still haven't heard from them. I know 2 people that did the HRs LLM at Lund last year, 1 of them recieved a letter at the end of April and the other in the middle of May. Hi Steph, I also applied to do the HR LLM at Lund. I was wondering, did the 2 people you know who did it get scholarships? I know it is really competetive - what kind of grades and experience do you need in order to get in? I appreciate any information you have - I don't want to get my hopes up too much! Mon, 01 May 2006 21:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17615 Hi Patricia, I actually don't know if they had scholarships, they are both from Central Europe so they would apply to a different fund than me (so it never came up). 1 of them finished top of his class and had won several awards although he had little experience as far as I know- on the other hand he read an LLM in European Law at Lund in the year before applying. The other girl had worked as a lawyer for a few years before applying although she had little experience with Human Rights. I think it is very hard to guess what Lund want, although good grades and work experience can't hurt. Apparently they like people with language skills. The only thing you can do is wait unfortunately. Sorry I can't be more help. Let me know when you hear- I want to know when it is time to give up hope!!!! Steph Tue, 02 May 2006 01:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17625 Thanks, that is helpful, and you're right, all we can do is wait! Thu, 04 May 2006 18:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17732 Hi Patricia and Carol, I thought I would let you know that I recieved an offer from Lund today via email. I hope you did too. Good luck, Steph Thu, 04 May 2006 18:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17733 Hi Patricia and Carol, I thought I would let you know that I recieved an offer from Lund today via email. I hope you did too. Good luck, Steph Hi! To which progammme you applied? Human rights or Human rights and Intellectual property rights? Thu, 04 May 2006 19:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17734 The LLM in International Human Rights. They requested a reply in 14days or I would lose my place. I guess then they start to give the places to people on the waiting list. Hope that helped Steph Thu, 04 May 2006 19:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17735 Thanks, Steph. I applied for HRs and Intellectual property rights. Have you applied to any other unis or just Lund? Maybe Lund hasn't started to send offers to the programme in Hrs and IP yet. Has anybody else received an offer from Lund? Thu, 04 May 2006 20:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17737 Hi Lea, I applied to Utrecht, Groningen and Warwick (I got places at Utrecht and Groningen and haven't heard off Warwick yet). I have already accepted my place at Lund as it was my 1st choice. No idea about other offer from Lund. It is very possible that they haven't started with offers for the HRs and IP LLM but I have no idea to be honest. I hope you hear soon, Steph Thu, 04 May 2006 21:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17738 Steph! Thanks for your answer. What country are you from? Thu, 04 May 2006 22:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17739 Hi, has anybody graduated, or know someone that has, from the HR master run by Utrecht? Feeback of the Uni and the course would be most appreciated. What/where do you gyes want to work once graduated? I'm a bit confused as to where in the field I wish to work! Thu, 04 May 2006 22:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17741 Hi Lea, I'm from the UK but I live in Denmark (Copenhagen) at the moment. What about you? Steph Thu, 04 May 2006 23:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17742 Hi, Steph! I'm from Latvia (Riga). But my boyfriend lives in Malmo, Sweden, that's why i really want to get offer from Lund, because if i go to study in the UK ( i got offers from Essex, Durham, Sheffiled and Sussex) it's rather far. Let's hope for the best. Fri, 05 May 2006 00:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17745 Hi Patricia and Carol, I thought I would let you know that I recieved an offer from Lund today via email. I hope you did too. Good luck, Steph Congratulations Steph!!! That is fantastic. I haven't heard anything from them, but am probably going to be checking my email every 5 minutes from now on! Mon, 08 May 2006 13:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17835 Hi Steph! Congratulations!!!!! This is amazing! I hope you enjoy a lot the course! Just as Patricia, I didn't have any news from Lund, but I still have hope... Once again, congratulations!!!! And Patricia, good luck for you! Mon, 08 May 2006 19:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17845 I also received an acceptance email from Lund today, for those who are wondering about timing. Steph, I'm wondering if you plan to continue to live in Copenhagen while you attend Lund? Mon, 08 May 2006 20:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17848 Hi Amy, I will continue to live in Copenhagen. It's only 45mins by train and I have an apartment which I share with my boyfriend (who is danish). I'm kind of hoping that I'll make some friends that won't mind me crashing on their floor if there's a party. Are you going to accept the offer? Was it for the HRs or the HRs and IP? Congratulations on your place. Steph Mon, 08 May 2006 21:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17849 Hi Steph, I was accepted to the new programme - International Human Rights and International Labour Rights. I haven't accepted the offer yet - I'm still mulling it over. If I do accept, I was hoping to live in Copenhagen as well, but can't figure out whether I would be allowed to do so as I would only have a Swedish residence permit. Any suggestions? Amy Mon, 08 May 2006 22:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#17851 Amy, It really depends where you come from. Assuming you are from an EU country then you just need to have a certain amount in your bank account to get a temporary residence permit- I think around 50000DKK (but it could have changed)- this money doesn't have to be there permanently (for example you can get your parents to transfer the money to you, get a copy of the bank statement and then give it back). On the otherhand I wouldn't suggest living in Copenhagen- living cost are much higher than in Sweden, especially re. rent . Additionally if you aren't entitled to the danish grant (SU) or the Swedish grant then you won't get reduced train fare-955dkk a month reduced and1580 dkk not reduced. Of course I'm not trying to put you off. It would be great for me to have someone to get the train with!!! Let me know what you think, Steph Tue, 16 May 2006 12:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18092 Hi Patricia and Carol, I thought I would let you know that I recieved an offer from Lund today via email. I hope you did too. Good luck, Steph Hi! To which progammme you applied? Human rights or Human rights and Intellectual property rights? Tue, 16 May 2006 12:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18093 hi steph I also received an offer from lund for human rights and intellectual property. But they did not anything mentain regarding scholarship. So do u have any idea regarding scholarship they provide for this course. Saroj, Nepal Tue, 16 May 2006 22:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18119 Hi Saroj, I was accepted on the International Human Rights LLM. The scholarships they provide are detailed on http://www.jur.lu.se/Internet/english/Master/human.nsf/(public.web.object)/8B128CD9207CB26EC1256DDA0058B2FB The deadline for this expired on 15th February. If you already applied for a scholarship, then you just need to wait. Both scholarships are from separate organisations and they probably wait to hear if you were accepted before they make a final decision. I hope that helps, Steph Thu, 18 May 2006 10:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18165 Hello All, I also have been accepted (LLM in Human Rights Law). Lund University sent me an e-mail on 3rd of May. I've decided to accept their offer. Could you please let me know about accommodation details, prices etc. I know that Lund estimated monthly cost of living expenses is around 7000 SEK, but I'm hoping to reduce it. I'm willing to share an accommodation. If you know anything about anyone willing to rent less expensive flat or room please let me know. See you guys pretty soon! Thu, 18 May 2006 18:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18187 Sorry, I can't help with that one as I plan to continue living in Copenhagen. Apart from the details on their website I wouldn't know where to look. Steph Tue, 23 May 2006 04:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18342 Hi Saroj, I was accepted on the International Human Rights LLM.

Tue, 23 May 2006 22:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18379 Hi Congratulations to stephb, RC, Saroj and all who have secured admission in the LL.M - Human Rights Programme 2006 at LU. I have not heard any thing as yet on my application to LU for admission to the Human Rights Programme. Are there any more applicants like me who have not received any communication on their application yet ? Thanks for your help. Wed, 24 May 2006 01:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18385 Hi Peace I haven't heard anything either, and I've kind of given up. Even if I were to get a second round offer, I would have needed a scholarship to afford to live in Europe, and I am presuming that if I didn't make the first round, I wouldn't have been nominated for a scholarship. I hope you get an offer, though. Wed, 24 May 2006 11:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18389 Hi Patricia Thanks for your prompt response. I am sorry to know that you too have not heard any thing. I can imagine your feelings. I too have the similar thoughts. Practically, I too have given up but still I am hopeful of getting a good news before the end of this month at least. I wish the same for you too. Like you, I have also applied for a scholarship. Let us see what happens in the end. With best wishes to you Mon, 29 May 2006 13:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18576 Hello All, I'm in touch with person from Lund University and she said that acceptance letters were not send off yet. They will struggle to do it before the end of May. Dear Stephb, RC, Saroj and others that were accepted. I'm sure you will try to organize accommodation for your staying in Sweden - my proposition is to get in touch and find something suitable. It could reduce costs of staying for all of us. What do you say? Mon, 29 May 2006 14:08:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18580 Hi Minimania, Sounds like a great plan with the accomodation but as I said before I won't be moving to Lund. I have an apartment in Copenhagen which is commuting distance to Lund and haven't got the money to pay 2 lots of rent a month!!! Good luck with your search for accomodation. Steph Tue, 30 May 2006 05:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18630 Hi, Steph! I'm from Latvia (Riga). But my boyfriend lives in Malmo, Sweden, that's why i really want to get offer from Lund, because if i go to study in the UK ( i got offers from Essex, Durham, Sheffiled and Sussex) it's rather far. Let's hope for the best. Tue, 30 May 2006 05:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18631 Hi, Steph! I'm from Latvia (Riga).

Tue, 30 May 2006 05:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18632 Hi Lea ! u accepted for humanrights and intellectual property? RC Tue, 30 May 2006 20:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18670 Hi, RC! No, i haven't received an offer from Lund yet. I don't know what to think - maybe they won't offer me a place. I'm a bit disappointed, i have already refused Stockholm U and Leiden U offers, because i hoped to get Lund. But i still have offers from UK - Essex, Durham, Sheffield. So if it's going to be nothing from Lund this week, i think i'll accept one of those. I just don't understand why Lund does not send rejections, then i could accept the offer from other university if i'd be sure it's negative answer from Lund. But i hope for the best, because i really want to study in Lund. Congratulations on your acceptance! Lea Wed, 31 May 2006 05:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#18694 Hi, RC!

So any day now... Steph Mon, 12 Jun 2006 14:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19050 HI STEPH, Thanx for the info.I hope we can hear from them by the end of this month.That will be cool.Im just wondering if there are any other people admitted for the labour programme,seems like most people are 4 intellectual ppty.Im also bothered by the fact that the process has taken rather too long,everyone is in a check of some sort.I heard that this time round they got the biggest number of applicants.Perharps that explains the delay coz they must have gotten overwhelmed.In the mean time,lets keep waiting and hope for the best. Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19100 Hi Lyn, I got my letter from Lund today (at last). Amy (who was chatting earlier on in the conversation) has also been admitted to the Labour Law programme. I couldn't see you on the list though for Labour Law- what is your official name? Steph Fri, 16 Jun 2006 09:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19185 Hi Amy and Steph Philda Maiga is my official name,Lyn is my 3rd and perharps prefered name.Im sure u will now see a Philda Maiga on the list.So tell me,how many are we?Are we all on scholarship?How do we access this list?Please keep in touch on my email;lynfilda@yahoo.com.All the best. Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19191 Hi, everyone! At last i also received an offer from Lund for LLM in HRs and IP. I already decided to accept the offer from Essex university, UK, then i suddenly received e-mail from Lund. Lund was my first priority, so i'm really happy and decided to accept it. But i still have some questions, i read on Lund website that studying starts August 31, but August 21 it's going to be some kind of meeting, but arrival day is August 16. Are you going to come so early? Has someone applied for Orientation program and Swedish language course week for International students? Have they really accepted just 15 students for LLM in HRs and IP? BUt it looks like that first semester all three LLM programs have similar subjects. See you soon, Lea Fri, 16 Jun 2006 19:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19199 Congratulations Lea. When did you hear from them? This means that you can live with your boyfriend I guess? I think the pages you got the info from were the International Students pages. I think this is just for 'exchange students' but it might be an idea to ask Hanna to check. The official letters I got from Lund say that registration is 31st August and doesn't mention anything before then. The first semester subjects are exactly the same for all HRs subjects. They usually only admit around 15 students for HRs and IP and according to the list I have they only admitted 12 this year. Congratulations again! Steph Fri, 16 Jun 2006 22:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19205 hello, I have some question about the LLM Programme in HR at the Lund University. I read az its homepage, that there : "Lunnd University is a state university, and according to the Swedish legislation it is not allowed to charge the students for the courses. However, students have to pay an obligatory membership fee to the Students Association, totalling approximately 300 SEK per semester " Does it go for foreign students (EU) as well?? And what are the criteria at the application. I mean which students are favoured? I have a master degree at the best hungarian iniversity and I study there actually as a Phd student. What are my chances? thanks S. Sat, 17 Jun 2006 01:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19206 hello everyone i have been accepted to the lund hr llm myself and am quite glad to have found some of my future colleagues. by the way, congratulations! :) i sincerely hope we can share useful information on residence procedures, accomodation, travel arrangements etc. i'm thinking a yahoo group would be a good idea. send me a personal message if you're interested. Sat, 17 Jun 2006 10:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19210 Hi Satine, EU students don't have to pay fees to go to uni in Sweden but they do have to pay the 300 SEK to the students' association (300sek is nothing when you consider that you get a free education). As far as I can 't tell there isn't anything that they look for apart from a solid interest in Human Rights. I think they just look at each student's individual merits and make an assessment on that. I only have an LLB but I have done quite a lot of Human Rights based work experience. I know in the past they have admitted students that have worked as lawyers with little, if any, HRs experience and they have accepted people on mainly their academic qualifications. In other words the criteria is a good statement of purpose. I think one thing they will wonder about is why you want to do an LLM when you are already doing a Phd. Is your Phd on something HRs related? I hope that this was helpful. Steph Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19225 Dear Steph, Thanks for your answer, you've helped me a lot! I have actually suspended my phd studies, and my theme is of course related with HR. :) I haven't got many experience, but set purpose! I hope, one day I'll be a Lund student as well...... thanks a lot Mon, 19 Jun 2006 06:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19231 Hi everybody, I've just received an email from Lund telling me I was accepted for the LLM at Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights, but I didn't receive the letter by post yet. My main concern now is get the visa (I'm from Brazil), since it takes 8 weeks (!!) to be delivered. It's SO good to see people who is going to be my classmates. I've applied for accomodation and orientation guide and everything, so i'm reall in doubt about when to arrive in Lund. August 16th? 21th? 31th? Any idea? Does someone know when they let you know if there's accomodation for you? Have I any chances being number 26100? A big hug to all, Ulysses. Mon, 19 Jun 2006 12:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19235 Congratulations Lea. When did you hear from them? This means that you can live with your boyfriend I guess?

They usually only admit around 15 students for HRs and IP and according to the list I have they only admitted 12 this year. Congratulations again! Steph Hi,Steph! I received e-mail with offer from Lund on Wednesday (14 June).But yesterday i received another e-mail from Hanna about scholarship. She wrote that today she'll send my letter of acceptance by mail, so i hope to receive it this week. I'm really happy to be admitted and yes, i'm going to live with my boyfriend in Malmo. So we'll be able to meet on our way to Lund in the train. You are right i read pages for International exchange students, but they mentioned also master students. In scholarship letter (which i received as e-mail attachment) introductory course in Swedish is mentioned. It's written compulsory participation. Have you heard anything about it? Lea. Mon, 19 Jun 2006 22:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19264 Hey Lea, I think the Swedish course is just compulsory for the scholarship people- although I would like to learn Swedish. I couldn't find the link though. Can you send it to me? Shouldn't we continue this conversation on Yahoogroups? Stephx Tue, 20 Jun 2006 12:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19277 Hey Lea, I think the Swedish course is just compulsory for the scholarship people- although I would like to learn Swedish. I couldn't find the link though. Can you send it to me? Shouldn't we continue this conversation on Yahoogroups? Stephx Hi, Steph! the link wasn't mentioned in the scholarship letter, it was just written that introductory course in Swedish is organized by Folkuniversitetet. Do you speak Danish? I joined Yahoo group too, see you there. Lea Sun, 25 Jun 2006 18:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19361 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. Sun, 25 Jun 2006 18:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19362 Hi, Withought an international law previous experience (only a bachelor degree in law), do you think it would be quite easy to find a job in the field after the graduation of the programm at University if Geneva? Tks, Daniela Mon, 17 Jul 2006 13:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#19894 Hi, My name is Ranyta Yusran and I come from Indonesia. I've been accepted in the international human rights law program in Lund university. But I'm a bit confused now since I cannot track down my housing application progress in the University's website (my name is not in it and I've already sent the pre-registration form) neither the faculty administrator nor the RWI administrator can help me in this matter. Up untill now, I haven't got a place to stay in Lund (I've also had put announcement in the Bopoolen website but I haven't got any reply). Do you guys have any suggestion on this issue? Thank you Regards, Ranyta Sun, 23 Jul 2006 18:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#20061 Hi everyone! I am a 4th year student majoring in economics. I am thinking of applying for the international human rights programme in Lund University. I'd like to learn whether only students with very high GPAs are accepted. My cumulative GPA is about 2.90, what are yours? Do you think that my GPA is low? I do not have any publications, I have written a few articles so far, but they haven't been published given that I am still an undergraduate student. I wonder what my chances are of being accepted. Thanks in advance, Seyhan. Wed, 02 Aug 2006 22:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/694/last#20340 Hi, Is here anyone who attends full time LLM course in HR?
