LLM Competition Law

"Since I am doing a PhD in Competition Law at the Free University in Berlin, I chose to combine it with the Queen Mary LLM programme.

Queen Mary, University of London offers a choice of different competition law courses, which I could not find anywhere else. I attended International and Comparative Competition Law as well as International Merger Control. Both courses widened my personal scope of the field and gave me a multinational interlink, which is in this area more required than anywhere else.

Whilst International and Comparative Competition Law was in my opinion mainly orientated on competition law and policy issues on an international level, International Merger Control was mostly dedicated to issues of practical importance. Both courses complement one another perfectly.

Now I will complete my PhD after I finished an internship at the Brussels Office of an international law firm which is active in this field."
