University of Leeds or Essex for Human Rights Law?
Hi, I’m due to begin my postgraduate degree (LLM in International Human Rights Law) this fall 2024, and I’ve been accepted to University of Leeds and University of Essex.
I understand the Essex has a better specialisation in Human Rights Law but Leeds is better renown and I do believe brand name is of certain importance.
I’m nonetheless really confused about the decision. I’ve also heard the administration at Essex is more helpful, is this true?

I am currently graduating from LLB at Leeds. We have great International Law lectureres and I don’t think there is much difference between Leeds and Essex. I can’t tell you more about the LLM course itself, but Leeds Uni is very good for law in general. I woulnd’t say there is much difference between them as in terms of prestiege, but Leeds is still among the top 10 for Law. I would advise to take other recommendations than the courses, like what city you would enjoy the most.
I also have a question to you ☺️ what made you take an LLM in human rights? Do you have any work experience and would like to work in an NGO? I am asking this as I also considered the Human Rights LLM

Congrats on your offers! Have you visited either Leeds or Essex yet? I do think visiting for an offer holder day or open day can give you a better idea of what campus life is like and where you can see yourself living during your postgrad degree
