http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215 en Question about Heidelberg center - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Tue, 18 Oct 2005 02:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215/last#8215 Can anyone tell me anything about this LLM program? Anyone out there attending it or has attended it? I'm interested in going, but want to learn more about it from people who have participated in it...Any input would be greatly appreciated. Tue, 18 Oct 2005 04:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215/last#8217 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. Feel free to ask anything.

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! Fri, 21 Oct 2005 20:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215/last#8246 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 BITīs. 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.

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! Mon, 24 Oct 2005 17:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215/last#8265 We are 13, but the last year I am not sure. In this moment we are 5 foreigners (2 Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico) and the others are from Chile. From germany none. During the day I am not working but I think it is possible Wed, 08 Feb 2006 12:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/8215/last#10817 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...

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 espaņol 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.
