Dean's Message

“By joining one of our Master of Laws programmes you will be part of a global conversation about the study and practice of law, taught by experts in the field and sitting beside future leaders of the profession.”
NUS Law is Asia’s global law school — our graduate programme is an integral part of that vision. Every year, we welcome lawyers from dozens of countries to Singapore — one of the most dynamic and open economies in the world, and the gateway for many multinational corporations to Asia.
By joining one of our
Master of Laws
degree (LLM) programmes
you will be part of a global conversation about
the study and practice of law, taught by experts in
the field and sitting beside future leaders of the
profession.
NUS Law’s LLM offers an opportunity to upgrade
qualifications, to develop new skills, and to form
professional and personal connections that will last
a lifetime. Specialisations offer a programme of
study tailored to develop expertise in a particular
area, whether it is Corporate and Financial Services,
International Arbitration and Dispute Resolution,
Intellectual Property and Technology, International
and Comparative Law, Maritime Law, or Asian
Legal Studies. Or you can design your own LLM
programme, choosing from more than 100 courses
offered by NUS faculty and visitors.
Students who want to combine their NUS degree with significant
time in China should consider the
LLM in
International Business Law,
in which you spend one semester in Singapore and a second semester
Shanghai, offered in partnership with the East China University of
Political Science and Law.
Time spent in graduate school should be about more than just study,
however. We are fortunate that NUS Law enjoys a beautiful campus
that is adjacent to Singapore’s World Heritage-listed Botanic Gardens.
Many students also use their time in Singapore to explore the region.
Whatever your reason for considering a graduate degree, I hope you
will take the time to explore what NUS Law has to offer.
