Hi Nihat, Since geneve and Lausanne are in the French speaking part of Switzerland you will probably only find French Programs there. I tried the LLM Program Search (www.llm-guide.com/search), according to the results English LLMs are available in zurich, bern and St. gallen. If you want to have a good time Zurich is the best choice (although the program seem sto be partly in german), its the biggest city and the nightlife is supposed to be amazing.

I have made a recent search for LL.M programmes in Swiss and concluded that St. Gallen would be the most suitable for a mix of Anglo-Saxon and Continental Europe approaches. Although they state in their website (www.mbl.unisg.ch) that the programme is in English, you do require a good command of German, as they told me on the phone.

Meanwhile, it is so good to see so many Turkish law students here.

Hi Tayfun, I've surprised to see a Turkish law student who search an LLM program in Swiss like me. I've found an LLM program in Zurich University also but I can't speak German ( I search an LLM especially in English and French) so firstly I must learn German to admit these programs. Maybe I can learn German in Switzerland before I admit to University. Is there any conditional admission opportunity? If you have any information you can share with me.
thank you

Nihat,
I may recommend University of St. Gallen (www.mbl.unisg.ch). Although on the website the program is said to be in English when I spoke to them, I learnt that half of the curriculum was in German. Nevertheless, if you are already prepared to learn German before starting your study, then St. Gallen is a better place than Zurich to learn German.

Hello,
I'm from Switzerland. You have a fairly interesting MBL (Master in Business Law) Program organized in common by the Universities of Lausanne and Geneva. However, it takes two years.

Otherwise, in Lausanne, you have one in European Law, one in forensic sciences, and one on New Technologies. But I don't think they are very good...

In Geneva, you have one related to Human Rights, which is fairly good I think.

The most popular Law School is Fribourg, but I don't know which LLM Program they have.

But I unfortunately can't tell you more. Go to their website for other informations or give them a call:

www.unige.ch/droit (Geneva)
www.unil.ch/droit (Lausanne)
www.unifr.ch/droit (Fribourg)
Good Luck !

Hello everyone. I am interested in obtaining an LLM in International Trade. Is anyone aware of the reputation of the World Trade Institute in Bern? It's associated with their home university, but it's a new program, which makes me hesitate a bit.

Any thoughts?

Thank you very much to anyone who responds!
