Guide to Legal Studies in Europe - 1995

Every year thousands of law students throughout the world attend the many legal courses that European universities offer to foreign students.

It is not without reason that enrolling in a legal course in Europe attracts many people.

The variety of legal systems, high quality legal education and rich historical and cultural backgrounds combine to make Europe an attractive part of the world to study law.

When a student decides to enroll in a legal course abroad many practical questions arise, such as, will it be a summer school, a postgraduate LL.M. programme or something else? Which universities offer such courses and what is their cost?

For which subjects does a law faculty have a good reputation and are there any co-operation agreements between law faculties?

What is the average cost of living? What nightlife is there, and what about student societies?

Students who have already decided on a course need to know whether funding is available, telephone numbers for housing agencies, visa requirements, whether it is possible to take a language course, finding a job, and so forth.
