WHAT OUR STUDENTS AND ALUMNI HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR SPECIALIST
LLM IN EUROPEAN LAW
‘Having completed an LLB in English & European Law, I wanted
to further specialise in EU Law while also being able to continue
my part-time work at a London-based European NGO. The King’s LLM in
European Law gave me this fl exibility.
I was attracted to the wide variety of EU Law modules off ered
by the programme, as well as King’s affi liation with the
well-respected Centre of European Law. This provides students with
unique access to EU related extracurricular activities, and has
given me the opportunity to attend several important debates and
conferences.
Modules are taught by respected experts of EU Law and include a
number of guest lectures by practitioners, providing excellent
networking opportunities that are invaluable when looking to
establish or further a career in the EU institutions, government
legal service or academia.
The LLM community at King’s is diverse, international, and
extremely sociable. All in all, the LLM at King’s is certainly a
recommended experience for anyone interested in EU Law.’
LENA-BRID DONNER, GERMANY
‘ After qualifying as a lawyer in Italy, I felt compelled to
broaden my professional knowledge so I decided to pursue a
specialist LLM in EU Law. I applied to King’s as its academic
reputation in EU Law is outstanding; a view echoed by many
professionals working in the fi eld.
Once at King’s, I learnt that its reputation is well deserved. I
was in the company of outstanding academics and undertaking
extremely challenging and interesting modules. The highest academic
standards are complemented with a hands-on approach, making the
overall experience ideal preparation for returning to the
marketplace.’
