Non-law Modules for Credits [Not applicable to GLB, Exchange and CDP (LLB/MPP) students]
6. LL.B. Students are not required to read any non-law modules offered by other faculties at NUS.
7. LL.B. students are permitted, without any special approval, to take a total of 12 credits of modules from other faculties from a list of modules approved by the Dean [Click here for approved non-law modules] . This means that without any approval from the Dean, students can do: (a) 12 credits of non-law modules in Year 3; (b) 12 credits of non-law modules in Year 4; or (c) 8 credits of non-law modules in Year 3 and 4 credits of non-law modules in Year 4 or vice versa.  However, the modules taken in each year must be from the list of modules approved by the Dean for that academic year.
8. Students taking non-law modules must ensure there are no clashes in the class and examination timetable with their law modules. Students are advised to regularly check the websites of their respective non-law modules for any updates.
9. LL.B. students may, with the permission of the Dean, do more than 12 credits of non-law modules in other faculties for credit. LL.B. students may also, with the permission of the Dean, read modules that are not on the list approved by the Dean. LL.B. students who wish to request special permission of the Dean for either of these purposes should send an email to the Vice Dean (Academic Affairs) setting out their request and the reasons, and copied to lawundergrad@nus.edu.sg
10. Non-law modules read under the scheme described above will count towards fulfilling the number of credits required to complete the LL.B. degree and count towards the class of honours.
