Study at Fordham University School of Law
An intellectual institution in vibrant New York
If you’re interested in studying law in America’s most famous city, then Fordham University’s LL.M. program could be the perfect fit for you. Students at Fordham choose from 8 possible degree specializations over their two semesters of study, gaining a unique mix of practical experience and in-depth subject mastery.
In addition to the learning students do in the classroom, Fordham offers robust externship opportunities at some of New York’s most prestigious law firms as well as close to 20 in-house clinics for LL.M. students to practice their lawyering skills even before they graduate.
Fordham’s LL.M. Degree in a Few Words
Over the course of 2 semesters (starting in either August or January), LL.M. students hone their legal skills in one of 8 different disciplines while also studying the core principles of the American legal system. Students come from all over the world—typically around 40 nationalities are represented in each LL.M. class of around 180 students—and complement their classroom learning with extensive experiential learning opportunities that prepare them for a successful legal career.
For international students, the program provides an orientation course—capped at just 15 students per section—on American legal writing and classroom methodology, as well as a series of seminars throughout each semester offering additional support. Furthermore, each of the 8 specializations prepares students (including international students) to sit the New York bar examination should they choose to practice law post-graduation.
Academics
The LL.M. degree is a full-time program over the course of 2 semesters. However, Fordham also allows students to complete the degree part-time over 2 years, a great choice for students who choose to pursue a professional career alongside their studies.
Students have a choice of 8 different degree specializations, ranging from Corporate Compliance Law to International Dispute Law and even a first-of-its-kind track in Fashion Law. It is also possible to complete a third semester in order to obtain a dual-concentration.
One of the most impressive parts of Fordham’s LL.M. program is its wide range of opportunities for students to gain first-hand legal experience. For example, each semester students may choose to volunteer at one of 18 different clinics run by the university. There, students will work side-by-side with practicing lawyers on clients’ real cases. There are clinics specializing in Criminal Defense, Entrepreneurial Law, Family Advocacy, Immigrant Rights, and many others. If that’s not enough, students can also pursue a for-credit externship at one of New York City’s many law firms, governmental organizations, nonprofit clinics, or other organizations.
In 2020, U.S. News & World Report ranked Fordham School of Law the #3 Best Part-Time Law School in the Country, as well as one of the Top 50 Law Schools overall! LL.M. Guide also named Fordham in its Top 10 list for Competition Law.
How Do I Apply?
New York City is without a doubt America’s most well-known city. It offers residents unparalleled cultural and professional opportunities, from seeing a play on Broadway to taking a stroll in Central Park to working at one of the country’s most powerful law firms.
LL.M. students take part in a wide range of student organizations. They may choose to write for one of the university’s law journals, such as the highly-regarded Fordham Law Review, or join a student organization such as the Student Bar Association or Fordham Law Women.
Each year, Fordham’s international students join their peers from other universities at the International Student Interview Program, a job fair featuring more than 150 of America’s top law firms seeking to recruit some of the most talented law students.
How Do I Apply?
Fordham’s LL.M. program uses the Law School Admission Council LL.M. Credential Assembly Service (LSAC LL.M. CAS) website for its applications. Prospective students are invited to apply on a rolling basis for the Fall Semester from September 15th until March 1st, and for the Spring Semester from June 1st until October 1st.
There are 5 required parts for Fordham’s LL.M. application. First, applicants need to submit transcripts from all of the universities they attended; note that international students must already hold a degree in law. They also must write a personal statement of 500 words or less describing their future plans and ambitions. Applicants will also submit 2 letters of recommendation, with at least one of the letters ideally coming from a law school professor. Students should also attach an up-to-date resumé or CV.
Finally, international applicants from a country in which English is not the primary language must also submit their TOEFL or IELTS scores. However, if their previous law education was entirely in English, applicants may instead opt to have an interview in order to demonstrate their English proficiency. Note that applicants who do not meet the minimum TOEFL or IELTS requirements may still be accepted to Fordham if they agree to enroll in its full-time Legal English Institute alongside their LL.M. studies.
The Application
- Transcripts
- Personal Statement
- 2 letters of recommendation
- Resumé or CV
- TOEFL or IELTS
Affording Fordham
The total cost of the LL.M. program, including tuition and health insurance, is $62,652. In addition to the cost of tuition, Fordham estimates that students will spend an additional $20,470 on room and board as well as just under $2,000 on books and other course materials. Although attending an LL.M. program like Fordham’s is a significant expense, the university does offer a variety of selective scholarships to its top students. There are 3 different merit-based scholarships that cover 100% of the program’s tuition (note that applying for these scholarships requires an additional 500-word essay), as well as several partial scholarships available to the university’s strongest applicants. Fordham’s financial aid office has also prepared a list of external scholarships that students may choose to apply for to help offset the cost of tuition.

Erasmus University College (EUC)
A prestigious Liberal Arts University in Rotterdam
Inclusive. Inspiring. International.
These three words help to describe what EUC is as an institution. EUC, the international undergraduate honours program of Erasmus University Rotterdam, excels academically: #70 worldwide in the 2019 Times Higher Education rankings, and in 2018 was voted the top- rated programme in the Netherlands.
However, the university experience is more than about academia. EUC is a residential program, and from the student residence in the heart of Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ most multicultural city (and 10 minutes walk from the university), students will have the opportunity to make lifelong friendships with people from around the world. EUC is truly an international community: 60% of students did not attend a Dutch secondary school, 32% are EU students, and 18% are non-EU.
Academic matters
Course details
- The 3-year program compromises both breadth and depth
- EUC has an active approach to education, called Problem Based Learning, where students lead and all students participate
- Class size is therefore kept small 12 students per tutorial
- There are 21 majors within four departments to choose from: Economics & Business; Humanities; Life Sciences; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Interdepartmental Majors
For more information, please visit: www.eur.nl/en/education/curriculum
Problem-Based learning (PBL)
PBL is one of the defining learning methods at EUC. In a small group of 10-15 peers, students engage in a dynamic discussion that is facilitated by a tutor, a subject-area expert with an advanced degree. PBL empowers students to contribute and to uncover the areas where their knowledge about a particular topic ends. From there, students do independent research that they then bring back to class next time. This type of active learning is research-proven to increase not only learning but also retention and motivation. In addition to this environment, students may also have larger lectures at Erasmus University.
Student life
Double Degree Arts & Sciences
Another standout feature of EUC is the university college’s dual degree program for those expressing interest and talent in art, music and academics.
EUC has thus partnered with Willem de Kooning Academy and Codarts to offer a double degree mixing Liberal Arts and Sciences with the Arts (music, fine arts, design).
The program is hosted in the Rotterdam Arts & Sciences Lab (RASL) and lasts 5 years.
Students must only pay EUC tuition, but are required to apply to each institution separately.
For more information on the double degree, please visit: www.eur.nl/en/euc/education/double-degree-arts

Study at Durham University
The University of Durham is #4 in the UK, according to The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, and is one of the ‘Russell Group’ of elite British universities. Founded in 1832, Durham is recognized as the 3rd oldest university in England. It is situated in the historic city of Durham in North East England, a town which also boasts a famous castle and magnificent cathedral. Due to its academic excellence, historic setting, and college system, Durham is sometimes grouped with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, colloquially referred to as ‘Doxbridge.’ Famous alumni include the current Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England, former “James Bond” actor Roger Moore, and one of England’s first feminist authors, Anne Brontë.
Academic Matters
The University of Durham has a wide range of study options, from Anthropology to Physics to Sports Science to Finance.
Students in their first year also can choose ‘open modules’ either inside or outside their main department. So, for example, a student of Biosciences could take a module in Chinese language or Middle Eastern history. This is an invaluable opportunity to deepen a particular interest in your own subject, or to learn about something completely different from your main course of study and so widen your general knowledge and culture. For a list of current ‘open modules’ please see here.
Students at Durham also have the opportunity to study abroad for a year, as the University has links with over 120 universities across the world. To read some testimonials from students who have spent a year abroad, please see this page.
The main university library holds over 1.6 million items and access to over 6 million e-books and e-journals, and in exam season is open 24/7.
Teaching at Durham is within your department rather than your college.
To order the 2020 undergraduate prospectus, please click here.
Campus Life
The college system, almost unique in British universities, provides a close-knit community and easy opportunities to socialise and make close friendships. There are 16 colleges, each with their own share cooking and social spaces.
For more organized social activities, the University has over 200 Student Union Societies, and 26 theatre organisations who put on some 90 productions every year. For sport-inclined students, there are college and university sports teams which practice 18 different sports. Musicians are well catered for: The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2019 and Complete University Guide 2019 both list the University of Durham as having the #1 music department in the country, and there are a wide range of ensembles, from choir to DJing, with over 80 concerts performed annually.
There is really something for everyone.
How to Apply to Durham University
The University of Durham, along with Oxford and Cambridge, is a collegiate university, and has 16 colleges. Applicants apply to a college (or can make an open application, where they are assigned a college). The list of colleges and their codes can be found here.
As with all UK universities, candidates apply through UCAS. On UCAS, candidates upload a letter of motivation (Personal Statement); one of their teachers must also upload a letter of recommendation and provide predicted exam marks for the student. Students may only submit one Personal Statement for all the universities they apply for (maximum of 5 choices). The Personal Statement, no more than 4,000 characters, should explain why students want to study their chosen course, what aspects particularly interest them, what steps they have already taken to engage with the subject (reading, conferences, internships etc), and, if possible, what aspects they are looking forward to studying.
International students will also need to send a scan of their qualifications, including English language tests, to the Recruitment and Admissions Office, along with their UCAS personal identification number and date of birth. Evidence of a recognised standardised English language proficiency test may include the IELTS or the TOEFL.
For the specific requirements of your choice of degree programme, please visit the course page of your chosen course.

Fees
Following the UK’s exit from the European Union, students from the EU, EEA and Swiss nationals will no longer be eligible for host fee status or financial support from Student Finance England (more information here).
EU students in 2025/2026 will pay the overseas fee for the duration of their course.
When taking into account the cost of any university, you should also consider the cost of living.
Durham provides an estimate for the cost of living, which can be found on its website. Students should plan to budget between £1,000 and £1,600 for each month of living and studying in Durham. This amount should be budgeted for 6-9 months of the year, depending on whether you will stay at Durham during the holidays.
From this, you might predict an annual average budget of around £10,000 per year, including accommodation, transport, personal expenses etc.
