THE HARVARD LAW SCHOOL LL.M. PROGRAM
The Harvard Law School LL.M. program is a one-year degree program that
typically includes 150 students from more than 50 countries. The philosophy
of the LL.M. program is to offer the students a broad platform to design
their own course of study within the parameters set by the Harvard Law
School faculty. Most of a student's program will be drawn from the regular
Harvard Law School curriculum - some 250 courses and seminars each year,
offered to J.D. and graduate students alike.
The Harvard Law School is currently soliciting applications for the LL.M.
program for the academic year beginning in September 2001. The deadline for
receipt of applications is January 1, 2001.
For the 2000-01 academic year, the estimated total expenses (including
tuition of $26,000, as well as travel, books, housing and living expenses)
for a single LL.M. student are at least $43,544. Admitted students who
cannot afford the cost of such a year are eligible for financial aid from
the Graduate Program. All financial aid awards are based on the applicant's
financial need.
For further information about the LL.M. program, including the application
process, application forms and instructions, and financial aid, please see:

UNIVERSITY OF MAASTRICHT, FACULTY OF ARTS AND CULTURE
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
The educational programme focuses on issues confronting modern Western
culture. Dynamic developments in science and technology have a great impact
on all areas of life. The concomitant changes generate a variety of
cultural, political and social issues. The Art and Sciences programme
concentrates on the analysis of various, often conflicting scientific and
non-scientific points of view, with particular emphasis on the arts.
Insights, methods and techniques are borrowed from philosophy, history, the
humanities and the arts. The programme is set up as a multidisciplinary
course of study intended to provide a generalised university education. The
aim is to produce graduates with a highly developed analytical capacity,
who possess the knowledge and skills to examine developments in science and
technology and changes in art and culture within their political and social
contexts.
Specialisations
After the first (propedeutic) year, the student can choose from 5
specialisations:
- Visual Culture
- Theory and History of Humanity and Nature
- Political Culture
- Cultural Analysis
- Theory and History of Technology
Visual Culture
This specialisation focuses on visual culture in relation to the modern
Western world. In addition to theoretical elements (from disciplines such
as philosophy, history, social sciences and arts), the programme provides
ample scope for practical analysis and interpretation of concrete visual
material.
Theory and History of Humanity and Nature
The central theme of this field is the influence of science and technology
on human life. Subjects will be studied through the analysis of the medical
sciences, biology, sociology, pedagogy and psychology.
Political Culture
This programme focuses on the normative and political issues confronting
modern society. These issues are examined within a broad cultural,
historical and social framework.
Cultural Analysis
This specialisation deals with the cultural changes experienced by Western
society since the beginning of the modern age and the role which
intellectuals and artists have played in this process. Students are
involved in various disciplines within this field of study: cultural
philosophy and sociology, artistic theory, literature and literary theory
and the history of culture and ideas.
Theory and History of Technology
Here the student analyses modern society and culture with particular
emphasis on the role of technology.
The theoretical investigation is based on elements present in philosophy,
sociology, history and the arts. In addition, political and practical
issues are being examined closely.

STUDY IN SWEDEN - ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS
This section is intended to provide foreign students with some general
information about studies in Sweden. For further information please contact
the
Swedish Institute at: www.si.se .
Studying a complete undergraduate programme is not a viable alternative for
students who do not have a good command of the Swedish language. To make
short-term studies more accessible to foreign students, an increasing number
of
courses are being taught in English. It is also possible to study during the
summer, when some courses are given in English.
To be eligible for higher studies in Sweden you must satisfy both general
basic entrance requirements and special course requirements. The course
requirements are determined by each university and institution of higher
education. These requirements may therefore vary. However, all institutions
of
higher education have the same special course requirements for professional
degree programmes. All foreign students are urged to apply directly to the
institution of higher education concerned for the courses and programmes.
Foreign student counsellors and the admissions office can provide the
necessary
information and forms.
To be eligible for undergraduate studies you must:
- have completed foreign upper secondary schooling (and have a document
certifying this) corresponding to the same level in Sweden;
- have skills in English, both written and oral, documented by means of an
internationally approved examination, such as TOEFL (500-550 p.), IELTS,
MELAB,
or the Cambridge First Certificate;
- have skills in Swedish attested by a pass grade in the nationwide Swedish
test Test in Swedish for University Studies (TISUS) or the equivalent.
Students
applying for courses/programmes taught in English may be exempted from this
requirement.
For further information contact the
Department of Scandinavian Languages at Stockholm University.
If you are considering postgraduate studies you must contact the
institution of higher education and the department teaching the subject in
question. They can give you specific information about the requirements
you must satisfy to be eligible for postgraduate studies.
- At most institutions of higher education you must have general knowledge
of Swedish to apply for undergraduate degree studies. But there are a few
exceptions. For more information, please click here:
http://www.si.se/eng/eindex.html.
- Foreign students from countries outside the EU/EFTA must have valid
passports and residence permits approved before travelling to Sweden. Visas
and
residence permits may be applied for at the Swedish embassy/consulate in the
student's home country. Residence permits for studies are granted for one
year at a time. It is not permitted to take any form of gainful employment
during term-time. When applying for residence permits
- you must have gained admission to a university or other institution of
higher education and you must be able to prove that you possess guaranteed
funding for the entire duration of studies, whether in the form of private
means or some type of scholarship;- you must plan to leave Sweden once you
have
completed your studies.- Citizens from the EU/EEA (except Switzerland) can
travel to Sweden and apply to the Swedish Immigration Board for residence
permits for studies within a period of three months after arrival in Sweden.
Resident permits for studies are granted for one year at a time. Such
students have the right to work during their studies. Students staying in
Sweden for less than three months do not have to apply for a
residence permit.
The applicant must have
- a valid passport/ID card
- an admission certificate
- assurance of financial support; and
- health insurance coverage
- At every university and institution of higher education there is a
student union representing the students' interest in academic and social
matters. The student unions offer accommodation, student health care,
student
counselling and also, in some cases, favourable insurance policies.
Membership
in a student union is compulsory, and the student pays a fee (SEK 300-400)
to
the local student union each term.
- Sweden has insurance agreements with some countries. Please check
with the national insurance authority in your home country whether there is
such an agreement and what it covers in Sweden. Citizens from EEA countries
have to show that they are covered by an insurance policy from their home
country (the E111 S form). If your studies in Sweden are only short-term,
please make sure that you have private insurance from your home country.
- If you stay for more than one term it is often useful to have a
temporary student identity card which may be obtained through the student
union
at your university. It will get you reduced admission to museums, theatres
etc.
Banks and post offices do not usually accept passports as identification.
To get a bank identity card or to open an ordinary bank account in Sweden
you
must have a Swedish national registration number (personnummer), consisting
of
your birth date plus four extra figures. To get this number you have to
register with the civil registration authorities at the Local Tax Office,
(lokala skattemyndigheten).
