The Fulbright LL.M. Award at
UCLA School of Law
The Award:
UCLA School of Law’s Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program has partnered with Fulbright
Belgium to offer a 50% tuition fellowship grant for eligible students to pursue the LL.M.
degree at UCLA. Eligible students must be a citizen of Belgium or Luxembourg, and must
hold a first degree in law from a foreign (non-U.S.) jurisdiction. Fulbright will also offer
the successful candidate a travel stipend, sickness and accident insurance, J-visa
sponsorship, and access to global Fulbright programming in Belgium and the United
States.
The Program:
UCLA Law has a reputation for excellence and is consistently ranked among the top tier
of law schools in the nation. UCLA was recently ranked as the eighth-best university in
the world and second-best public institution in the United States in the U.S. News &
World Report inaugural 2016 Best Global Universities rankings. Furthermore, UCLA has
been consistently ranked as the best law school for entertainment law by The Hollywood
Reporter.
The LL.M. Program affords students the opportunity to pursue advanced studies in law
with optional specializations in a variety of fields, including: Business Law (Business,
Securities Regulation, Tax, or Bankruptcy Tracks); Entertainment, Media, and
Intellectual Property Law; International and Comparative Law; Critical Race Studies;
Public Interest Law; and Law and Sexuality. Students can even create a self-designed
specialization in an area of their own choosing with approval from the program director.
Past alumni have designed their own specializations in disciplines such as dispute
resolution, environmental law, and litigation, to name a few.
The flexible curriculum, interdisciplinary approach to legal education, opportunities for
practical and experiential learning, well-renowned faculty, professional development
support, and collegial academic community are just some of the things that make the
LL.M. Program a memorable and life-changing experience for the students who pursue
their studies at UCLA.
