OVERVIEW
The National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Laws (LLM) is offered by the NUS Faculty of Law.
By joining one of our Master of Laws degree (LLM) programmes, students will be part of a global conversation about the study and practise of law, taught by experts in the field and sitting beside future leaders of the profession.
Students may opt from the outset to:
- Pursue an LLM degree with no specialisation (which affords maximum flexibility in course selection according to students’ individual preferences and interests), by taking any 40–44 credits of modules, or
- Obtain a specialisation (which will be indicated on their degree scrolls) by completing the number of credits and compulsory module(s) as part of the requirement of the specialist LLM.
