Hear from our students
My focus is on financial law, there was really no place else to go, as King's professors in this field are amongst the best in the UK, which makes sense when you realise that London is one of the financial capitals of the world.
The English Law and German Law LLB is a truly unique programme.
The LLM program at King's College London combines deep theoretical and practical knowledge. We study a lot of court decisions from many jurisdictions, what allows us to gain insights in how practical issues of International Taxation are being solved in different states.
