Going for an LLM @ Southampton
Today I sent the offer confirmation letter to the University of Southampton in the UK to do an LLM in IT and Commerce. The Ministry of Legal Affairs is sponsoring me to go do a Masters degree this upcoming academic year.
I have recently been assigned to some projects relating to IT law at MOLA, so my Director General was very supportive of the specialization choice I made and the Minister agreed.
I had offers from Cardiff University and Essex University as well, but I decided to go to Southampton because the course structure and their module selection appealed to me to the most. I’m basically going to study Internet Law, Internet Policy, Intellectual Property, and maybe Internal Trade or International Economic Integration.
I originally wanted to apply to a university in the states, but the deadlines for American universities is way earlier than those in the UK. So yeah, it is THEIR LOSS.
Anyway, Southampton is the place from which the Titanic departed for its fated trip, and it is the home of Craig David! (Too much pop culture?)
