I originally chose to study the LLM at Exeter because I liked the look of the modules and options, and because of the School of Law’s strong reputation in International Criminal and Humanitarian Law. Having enjoyed the LLM, and having built an excellent working relationship with my research supervisor, Dr Caroline Fournet, I had no desire to study elsewhere for my PhD.

I’d recommend Exeter to anyone who enjoys small group discussions and prefers to develop their own opinions rather than reiterating textbooks. The student-staff-ratio is phenomenal! Forget about debating societies, if you want to, you can debate in every single seminar... Read Christoph's full profile.

My experiences in law-making institutions through internships during my undergraduate degree influenced my decision to further my understanding in comparative public law. This prompted my search for a Law School that could offer a legal curriculum whose breadth and depth is unmatched in legal education. Read Faheem's full profile.
Faheem Bhatti, LLM International and Comparative Public Law
The great thing about my programme is that it has concrete applications, as I experienced during my summer placement last year. Knowing the law is one thing; then you have to be able to see where the problem is and how you can solve it. I like the contact with clients and trying to help them find solutions to their problems.

Stéphanie Laisné, LLM International Business Law
I decided to study at Exeter because of the reputation of my supervisor, Dr Addo, and his readiness to supervise a PhD research project of not necessarily a strictly legal nature. The availability of a scholarship was also of great importance, as without it I would not be able to afford PhD studies in Exeter. Read Beata's full profile.

The LLM International Business Law offers a wide range of different fields covering familiar legal disciplines such as Contract Law and Company Law, but also interesting areas like the law of the World Trade Organisation. I appreciate the diversity of my studies and its references and implications on our everyday life. Read Anne-Sophie's full profile.

There are a lot of factors that make the University of Exeter a unique place to study Law: the unique European Tour and other tours such as Geneva; the big nice green campus in a lovely area; the number of international students and English courses offered; and the large number of sports facilities and societies.

Philip Bremner, M Res in Socio-Legal Research Student
"Having done an LLB and LLM at the University of Aberdeen, I came to realise that I was interested in the socio-legal implications of law rather than just the black-letter law. I wanted to do an inter-disciplinary PhD that involved applying methods and theory from the social sciences to my main research interest, Family Law. Fortunately I received ESRC funding to undertake the MRes in Socio-Legal Research at Exeter followed by the PhD and the MRes research-training masters is exposing me to new ways of looking at the law as well a solid grounding in the various methods of empirical data collection and analysis that will be invaluable during my PhD."
Before starting my PhD I was a Research in the European Union Research Centre, Korea University. I decided to study at Exeter partly because of the high quality supervision, and also because the University is one of the pioneers in research in European Law Studies. The research environment at Exeter is very good. Research supervision is of high quality and there are many useful seminars and workshops to improve research skills. Read Soyeon's full profile.

I would recommend the LLM International Human Rights Law without any qualms at all; the subjects on offer and the standards of teaching at Exeter have impressed me both at undergraduate and post-graduate level, and the genuine commitment and superb quality of the staff have made my time here extremely enjoyable and worthwhile.

Elizabeth Halliday, LLM International and Comparative Public Law
My two main reasons for coming to study at Exeter were that the University gave me a scholarship and the University’s ranking and teaching quality is very good. I applied to several universities in the UK and was offered several scholarships, but I chose to come to Exeter and am very, very happy with my decision; I’ve improved myself and had a great time here.

One of the best things about the seminars is the low number of students in each seminar – always below 30 and often around half that number. This means that there is time for everyone to be heard and there are usually very exciting discussions. Read Lasse's full profile.
Lasse Holst, LLM International Business Law
The LLM International and Comparative Public offers more than legal studies. In the seminars I gained an insight to politics, ethics and philosophy and learned to think critically about what was learned, and challenged my concept of what law is and what it ought to be. Apart from that, I enjoyed the international atmosphere concerning both students and lecturers. Read Patrizia's full profile.
Patrizia Micalizzi, LLM International and Comparative Public Law
I started focusing on studying business law during the last year of my undergraduate degree in France as I like the logical aspect of the subject and the way it has a concrete application to real situations. International mergence is now unavoidable in business law, so that is why studying international business law was the logical following up to my undergraduate degree, as my career objective is to be a business lawyer. I especially like the logics in business law: you have a given situation/problem, and you have to find the solution, using the relevant rule. It is almost like a game! Read Pauline's full profile.

I have already signed the contract with one of the top universities in Istanbul. When I graduate, I will work as a lecturer and I expect to lecture not only about the international law, but also about the relation between international law, governments and foreign investments.
