LLM in Tax Law

"After I graduated from the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University in 2006 and obtained Barrister-at-Law from the Thai Bar Association in the following year, I decided to pursue my Master’s Degree in Tax Law at Queen Mary, University of London.

I am interested in Tax Law because International Tax Law is one of the most important fields in International Commercial Law which play significant roles in all cross border transactions.

There is no doubt that Queen Mary is one of the best places to study Intellectual Property Law in the United Kingdom. This is also true for Tax Law. When you consider the great reputation of the Centre for Commercial Law Studies and compare the Tax Law courses with others university which provide courses specialised in Tax Law, you will find that Queen Mary is the finest choice for students who would like to specialise in Tax Law because the courses at Queen Mary were taught by outstanding professors such as Visiting Professorial Fellow Jonathan Schwarz, Dr. Ann Mumford and Dr. Tom O’Shea who is renowned for his article in European Community Tax issues. Furthermore, the courses cover all international taxation practice appetencies which are appropriate for both academic and a practitioner’s perspective. For instance, International Tax Law II which devotes more than half of the course for Transfer Pricing issues which is one of the most critical problems at the present time.

From the reasons I mentioned above, I would strongly recommend the programme to all of you who are interested in Tax Lax whether you are an expert practitioner or a graduated student who do not have any experience in the field like me."
