Dean’s Message

You are about to make one of the more important decisions in your life. The choice of degree and university has a major impact on the trajectory of your career. But as you contemplate your course of study, I urge you to think broadly. Don’t just think about “what” you want to be. Rather, think about whom you want to be.

NUS Law graduates occupy the highest legal offices in the land, including the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and senior practitioners in all areas of law. Our alumni include partners in top international firms in New York and London, Hong Kong and .

Some of our graduates assume public office, like President and Law Minister K. Shanmugam. Others join academia or represent Singapore on the international stage, like former Dean and Ambassador-at-Large Tommy . Still others use their legal training to start new ventures in the corporate world, like Tan Min-Liang, CEO of gaming giant Razer, or apply their skills with language as playwrights or actors, like Eleanor Wong and Ivan Heng.

NUS Law offers rigorous legal training, but we also teach personal and professional skills that enable our graduates to operate across boundaries. This includes national boundaries, through the chance to spend a semester or more of your third year at partner law schools in twenty countries, or your fourth year earning a degree from New York University, King’s College London, or other leading institutions. We also cross imaginary boundaries, as you may take subjects outside law from across the University — in some cases earning you a second degree from life sciences to liberal arts — and participate in activities that broaden you as a person, such as the “Don’t just think about ‘what’ you many opportunities for public service. want to be. Rather, think about whom you want to be.” At NUS Law, you will be part of the conversation. Our professors expect you to challenge them, to share new ideas, and debate different perspectives. In my own classes, the good students can answer my questions; the best students can predict those questions. But the truly great students pose questions I had never imagined!

We don’t aim, then, to produce “”. We aim to produce leaders who can be successful in whatever path they choose.

You have an important decision to make. Choose well.

Exchange Plus programmes are available to students on the four-year LLB programme. Under these arrangements, students will complete three years at NUS and then go to one of the partner universities listed below to read an LLM for one year. Upon successful completion of the LLM, NUS Law students will graduate with an LLB (Hons) from NUS and an LLM from the partner university.

New York University Boston University Erasmus University

King’s College London University of Toronto

Students on the three-year GLB programme may also seek admission to the Exchange Plus programme with New York University (NYU). They will commence the LLM in the second semester of their third year of studies, completing two and a half years at NUS and one year at NYU to receive both degrees.

“The NUS-University of Melbourne LLB-LLM Exchange Plus Programme was a great experience. The teaching quality was outstanding and the assessment standards rigorous. There was an incredible array of subjects and the professors are world leading authorities, cited in Singaporean, Australian and English courts. Finally, it was wonderful to see a strong connection between Singaporean and Australian jurisprudence, as our apex courts increasingly consider each other’s decisions in landmark cases.”

Ho Linming and Lim Toh Han Class of 2020 University of Melbourne

“The year I spent at NYU was incredible. I was exposed to fresh ideas and philosophies and given the chance to challenge assumptions I had long held as truths; I was living in a dynamic city that offered a never-ending range of new experiences. All these coupled with the structure and rigour of a master’s degree at a leading university in the world. This would not have been possible if not for the NUS-NYU collaboration which is one of the many unique opportunities available at NUS Law to study abroad.”

The Student Exchange Programme offers an excellent opportunity to study the laws of a foreign legal system up close. Exchange students experience different cultures and lifestyles, make new acquaintances, and of course, travel. The Programme enables NUS Law students to spend either one or both semesters of their third year in one of our partner law schools.

Students in the concurrent degree programme may spend one semester of their third year and students in the double degree programme may spend one semester of their fourth year in one of our partner universities. NUS Law also hosts incoming exchange students from our partner universities, adding to the vibrancy of the Law School.

“Going to Tsinghua University and experiencing half a year in China was one of the best decisions I made. It allowed me to learn in a world class institution in one of the world’s largest and most influential economies, and it also helped me improve my Chinese ability significantly. I was also able to travel to many different provinces in China with both my local and international friends and build many lasting memories. Finally, what I cannot forget to mention is that Chinese food tastes amazing!”

Jeremy Cheng Class of 2020 Tsinghua University

“We had a ball of a time while on exchange to Jerusalem in Israel! Being located at one of the most historically and religiously significant places of the Middle East offered us a direct, first-hand exposure to the intricacies of ancient history as well as the present Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Our studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem touched on a large amount of international legal and human rights subjects, from the relationship between terrorism, counter-terrorism and human rights to international criminal law. We also managed to explore the Golan Heights and travel to various parts of the West Bank such as Bethlehem and Jericho.”

Benjamin Low Class of 2020 Hebrew University of Jerusalem

It better equips us with the analytical and interpersonal skills necessary to thrive beyond law school. There are plenty of opportunities for holistic development as well, through extracurricular activities and the Student Exchange Programme.”
