Question about Heidelberg center
My name is Santiago. I am doing the LL.M in this moment, tell me what you need to know and I can help you. But in order to give you a good idea, the LLM is between the U de Chile and the U of Heidelberg. Th professors are really good, and they focus on the investment part, and in the free trade agreements.Tue Oct 18, 2005 02:39 AM Feel free to ask anything. Chao |

Question about Heidelberg center
Thanks for your reply. How many classes are in english and how many in spanish? Are most of the professors from Latin America or Germany? Is there much emphasis on international arbitration/litigation? How do you enjoy living in Santiago, are you living in an apartment or the university? What is the average age of the students? Many questions I know. Thanks so much for your information!

Question about Heidelberg center
The classes are 50 - 50. The professors are mainly Latin American but all of them are really good, in their field. Some of them Work in ICC - ICSID (In some Tribunals) - and in their countries in the FTA and BIT negotiations. The emphasis is in arbitration, not litigation and in FTA and BIT´s.Fri Oct 21, 2005 06:56 PM About Santiago de Chile, well is a nice city,full of foreigners and the atmosphere is nice, (I am form Colombia so it is very quiet for me) I found a place near the U, a flat that I share with a friend of The LLM (from Mexico) But I heard the U. is going to have apartaments for the student in teh next years, (you must ask, im not sure) About the age. I am the youngest with 24 years, and the oldest is 45 (I guess) the average is 28 maybe. |

Question about Heidelberg center
Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. Can I bother you with a few more questions? How many students are in the program? Are most from Latin America or Europe/Germany? Any from the U.S.? Are you also working during the day while attending the program? Does the program offer scholarships? Thank you again!

Question about Heidelberg center
Hey there Santiago! I am considering the Heidelberg Center for 2007. I'm currently training to be a solicitor in London and I finish in September 2006. I'd love to ask you lots of questions about Chile - if you'd be willing to help me out, please email me at kvasey@hotmail.com - put "CHILE!" as the subject so I can pick it out from all the junk mail I get! Muchisimas gracias... Kay

Question about Heidelberg center
Hola Gisselle, mi nombre es Julio (soy colombiano) y actualmente curso el LLM en el Heidelberg Center en Santiago. Wed Nov 07, 2007 05:18 PM Sobre el programa te puedo contar que te otorga una vision integral del Derecho Internacional con un enfasis en materia de inversiones y arbitraje. El programa se divide en tres trimestres el primero en derecho internacional publico que es el fundamento para entender y comprender el derecho internacional, el segundo sobre comercio internacional OMC y TLC, y el final sobre inversiones y arbitraje. El sistema es muy interesante ya que combinas clases en Ingles y español con profesores de primer nivel en America Latina y en Europa puesto que contaras con profesores de la Universidad de Heidelberg y del Intituto Max Plank. Mi experiencia en el LLM ha sido muy buena ya que he logrado profundizar mis conocimientos en la materia y obtener nuevos areas de interes para mi vida profesional y academica. Si tienes mas inquietudes con gusto te puedo ayudar. |

Question about Heidelberg center
Hola CarolinaThu Sep 11, 2008 09:35 PM Te cuento que para inscribirte en la pagina web del center encuentras los formularios y la documentacion que debes acompañar es bastante sencilla y facil. El proceso de seleccion es doble, existe un primer filtro que se hace en Chile y donde obviamente se analiza tus notas estudios, cv etc. Despues de esta seleccion los que quedan son enviados a Alemania para que la Universidad haga una segunda seleccion final. Obviamente ellos tienen definido un perfil del tipo de estudiante en el que estan interesados como cualquier universidad. Cualquier inquietud adicional no dudes en escribir |

Question about Heidelberg center
OHHHhhhh my Gosh!! Why you Latin’s keep writing Spanish in a English Speaking site!! It’s unacceptable!!!! Just Kidding!! Como recomendación de primera mano, les sugiero consideren cursar su LL.M. en la University of British Columbia en Vancouver! Vengo aterrizando después de un formidable fin de semana en esa área y el lugar es increíble! El campus de la universidad y en especial la facultad de derecho no es nada de otro mundo, sin embargo la zona en la que se ubican es formidable. Personalmente pienso desistirme del proyecto de cursar el master en los Estados Unidos y optar por Vancouver, quede impresionado por la gentileza y apertura de la gente que ahí habita, la diversidad cultural, actividad económica, civilidad, escenarios naturales, etc, etc, etc. Ademas, la Universidad goza de muy buena reputacion, es el paquete completo.Wed Sep 17, 2008 08:45 PM Saludos!
