With multiple LLM applications, each often requiring their own set of documentation, come multiple deadlines. And for those who work best when pushed to the wall, a clear set of deadlines can often be just what the doctor (education consultant?) ordered.
The fact of the matter is that foreign LLM’s can be terribly expensive, and with financial aid in short supply, it makes sense to get a good idea of the different costs of an LLM at the very start of the application process.
Which is why, here is a list of LLM tuition fees and application deadlines for some the most popular law schools (based on our data of Indian law graduates) in the world.
Do note that the numbers and dates mentioned in the tables below are based on the data available on the respective law schools’ websites as of 3 October, 2024 and might be subject to change and/or out of date.
Lastly, please also note that tuition is just one component of the total cost of living; other costs include housing, books, health insurance etc.
