"The LLM programme at NUS provides me with a fantastic opportunity to get familiar with a different legal system and meet fellow students from various backgrounds. I enjoy the diversity of the elective modules offered in each specialisation, as well as the innovative teaching methods applied by the faculty." |

“As a Korean who grew up in Abu Dhabi and studied in the UK, this cosmopolitan city and law school is the perfect fit. I have met many lawyers and law students from multiple jurisdictions - it is always exciting to vicariously experience a different life through their stories. As an LLM student specialising in International Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, it is especially motivating to hear what the professors, lawyers and students see as the future of arbitration and why they want to specialise in this field. NUS is the place to be to meet future thriving arbitrators.” |

“With well-established institutions, world-class facilities and deep expertise, it is no wonder that Singapore ranks as one of the top seats of arbitration in the world and that Singapore law is increasingly adopted as the choice of governing law in cross-border transactions in Asia and beyond. Set in this favourable environment, the LLM programme in NUS Law makes it possible to broaden our horizons, whilst being surrounded by brilliant international experts.” |

“After practising as a commercial dispute resolution lawyer for a few years, I felt the need for an in-depth study of international arbitration. The LLM (IADR) programme at NUS was a natural choice for me, not just because of its fantastic reputation and the topnotch academicians and practitioners who teach at NUS Law, but also because of how Singapore as a country has emerged as a hub for international arbitration over the years and as a
preferred seat of arbitration for clients in several jurisdictions.” |
