Top 5 Reasons To Study An LLM In Scotland
If you are looking for a great place to study your Master of Laws program, then maybe you should take a look at Scotland. You will have an experience of a lifetime, and the qualifications you achieve will be recognised all over the world. Following are the top 5 reasons to study an LLM in Scotland in no particular order:
1. WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION
Scotland is home to several top-quality higher education facilities, including highly ranked law schools for those wanting to study for their LLM degree. Scotland has many world renowned universities to choose from, and includes public universities like the Universities of Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and St Andrews, which were founded during the 1400s and 1500s, and are known as the Ancient Universities of Scotland.
2. EXPERIENCE A WINTER WONDERLAND
If you’re from a country that is hot all year round, then there is no doubt that you will find the snow here in the winter an exhilarating experience! You’ll be able to take to the Highlands to ski and snowboard at a relatively reasonable cost. Also, being a mountainous, hilly country, there are fantastic walks and hikes available that give you some breath-taking views of the cities below.
3. AN ABUNDANCE OF CULTURE, SPORT, AND ENTERTAINMENT
Many people think of Scotland as being a land of quiet villages, this however, is far from the truth! Scotland is full of large, bustling, vibrant cities, offering everything you’d find in any other big city. For starters Glasgow, once the European city of culture, was recently listed as a UNESCO City of Music. Edinburgh too, offers excellent entertainment in the form of the world-famous Fringe Festival, which takes place in the city every summer, and attracts performers and entertainers from all corners of the globe. There is also an abundance of sporting activities here too, to satisfy the most avid of sports fans in the world.
4. INSPIRATIONAL COUNTRY CREATING INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE
Scotland is not only a great place to study, but also has connections to some of the most significant people in the world of literature and art, such as:
• Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes
• Shakespeare, creator of Macbeth, considered by many to be his best work ever
• J K Rowling, who sat at a table at a café overlooking Edinburgh Castle, and penned some of her earlier Harry Potter books
It’s also proved to be a popular study destination for the rich and famous. Choosing to study at a university in Scotland means that you will be attending a facility selected by the likes of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Or what about music icon Bob Dylan? Not to mention famous actors like John Cleese and Michael Douglas. These people all chose to purse their education in Scotland.
5. REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL
The teachers at Scottish universities are the ones writing the textbooks you learn from. These academics have made ground-breaking discoveries, and have created amazing inventions. These are the people who will be working with you, challenging you, and supporting you all the way, to make sure that when you leave there, you have reached your full potential.
By choosing to study for your LLM at one of several highly-ranked universities in Scotland, you will not only obtain a qualification that is recognised and respected world-wide, but you will also have a great time doing it!
PLEASE NOTE: As a result of Brexit, from Autumn 2021 postgraduate students from the European Union studying at a UK university will be charged the same tuition fees as international students. UK students studying their postgraduate course at a European university are also likely to incur higher tuition fees than their EU counterparts. It is advisable to check with the individual universities in the UK and Europe for up-to-date information on tuition fees for all postgraduate programs.

I have LL.B, LLM from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
However, I am interested in LLM in the area of Tax or tax reforms especially up to Phd level. Possibly have a career in academics. I am 51 years old with over 15 years in civil litigation and corporate practice. I also lectured briefly in a University between 2007 and 2011 at the undergraduate level.
Many thanks.
