http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660 en LLM at NUS, Singapore - Happy to Receive Enquiries - LLM GUIDE Discussion Board Sat, 08 Jul 2006 20:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#19660 Greetings everyone. I am Vice-Dean and Director of Graduate Programmes at the NUS Faculty of Law. I had chanced upon this website and thought, why not get accurate information from the horse's mouth? I shall be happy to assist anyone requiring more information about our LLM and PhD programmes. While our website provides detailed information, I'm sure you'll agree that nothing beats a personal communication. Write me directly at alantan@nus.edu.sg - my profile is at law.nus.edu.sg/faculty/staff/profileview.asp?Userlawtankj Regards, Alan Tan Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#33665 Hello sir, im vignesh doin my LL.B fourth year in india i need to know wat is my oppurtunity of joinin LLM in NUS after finishing my LLB and wats the procedure to apply for IPR course in LLM and do u have placement oppurtunities pls give me some guidance so that i could join ur institution and my id is vikky360@gmail.com Fri, 20 Jul 2007 06:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#33675 We would welcome you to submit your application for admission in August 2008. We have an LLM in Intellectual Property and Technology Law, which is very popular for students intending to specialise in IPR, technology, media, biotechnology and digital regulation issues. The procedure is explained on our website at http://law.nus.edu.sg/prospective/postgraduate.htm (click on the relevant programme as well as the gray links on the left for information on fees, scholarships, admission requirements etc.). Applications for August 2008 admission will open only in September/October 2007. So watch out for details on the website above. Placement opportunities are certainly available, even though there is never a guarantee of jobs. A large proportion of our LLM graduates from India this year have found positions in Singapore. Alan Tan Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#33815 Dear Mr. Tan I had recently concluded my subject registration. However, I wish to switch certain subjects before the academic session starts. Keeping in mind that I had opted for the Corporate and Financial Services Law, I wish to take 'Banking Law' instead of the 'International Investment Law' and 'Credit & Security' in place of 'World Trade Law'. Lastly, I also request for permission to drop 'International and Comparative Law of Sale in Asia'. I realise this arrangement would leave me with a total of 16 credits for this semster due to which I seek your consent to take 24 credits for the next semster. I am aware that this selection should have been sorted out earlier, but in hindsight I thought it best to specialise in a particular field rather than take an assortment of introductory subjects from diverse fields. I apologise for any inconvenience which may be caused due to this belated request and hope that the issue can be given a sympathetic treatment. Tue, 31 Jul 2007 20:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34025 Hi Mr Tan, first of all i would like to say that i have read your profile in detail, and i have to say i am very impressed not only by you leading the law faculty but also by the NUS Law School as a whole. I would like to apply for the NYU@NUS programme, as i do feel that the dynamics of this programme are currently unmatchable anywhere in the world. I have done my LLB from the University of London(external programme) and i also did my BVC from ICSL this year and therefore i am a member of the England and Wales Bar. I wanted to ask you about my chances of getting into the NYU@NUS programme, i know it is a degree which is predominantly controlled by the NYU, however i still feel that you would know a great deal about it. Can i also apply for a scholarship and if yes which one do you suggest that i apply for. Further i also wish to study for another LLM after completing the NYU@NUS programme(although i would have two LLMs already at two world class universities) but it is just a personal goal that i want to achieve by specialising in different areas. I would preferably like to apply to a IVY league school, what kind of an advantage would i have having done the NYU@NUS programme, i know are of a nature which cannot have definite answers, but still as you said there is nothing like personal communication and that too with a dean. Mon, 06 Aug 2007 09:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34201 hi Mr Tan, i have recently heard that harvard law school will not allow students with llms from nyu and nus to study for an llm programme at harvard... could you somehow confirm this news... Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34208 the good thing is, if you get just one LLM (e.g. one LLM from NUS, or a BCL from Oxford, or an LLM from Kyushu), Harvard will allow you to take their LLM. I suppose the NYU-NUS program is unique, because you get two LLMs immediately. That's a huge plus, but the drawback is, some institutions will view you as having already received two advanced degrees, and their programme will be superfluous already, so they would encourage you to go straight to their JSD. Fri, 10 Aug 2007 08:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34333 Hello Mr.Tan, I'm interested in pursuing LLM In IP at NUS. I would like to know abt the job prospects in Europe. thanks in advance. Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:24:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34613 Mr.Tan, sir, can u tell me when u will issue application for the acdemic year 2008/2009. LLM coursework Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34615 Mr.Alan Tan, sir, right from my kinder garden(LKG) i studied in english medium .whtr i have to write any exams like TOFEL ,IELTS.... to apply for the LLM course work in NUS Mon, 20 Aug 2007 02:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34633 Applications for admission in August 2008 will open in early October 2007. Students who have studied in English may submit a request for waiver of TOEFL/IELTS. Regards Alan Tan NUS Law Mon, 20 Aug 2007 04:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#34634 Mr Alan Tan, Thank You sir Sun, 09 Sep 2007 17:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#35124 Dear Mr. Tan, As i understand from the application form, a personal statement is not required to be submited alongwith the application but does it make any kind difference or does it give edge over other candidates if you submit a personal statement with your application. Sat, 29 Sep 2007 16:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#35612 That is right. A personal statement is not necessary, but to the extent that it gives us more information about yourself (that isn't already revealed in the application information), go ahead and provide one. By the way, the application process for admission in August 08 will open next week. We have been busy all this week preparing the new information to be uploaded on the website. Regards, Alan Tan Vice-Dean, Graduate Programmes NUS Law Sat, 29 Sep 2007 19:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#35614 Thank you Mr. Tan, that helps a lot Further, jst one more query...i know people have already raised it on number of occassions but still to have a better clarity, does NUS follows a policy of giving waiver for english proficiency test? If yes, then whether a certificate from the Registrar of my university would suffice? Apologies for troubling you time again Thank you Tue, 01 Jan 2008 19:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#38154 Hallo Mr. Alan Tan I want to asking about the proportion seat that will be available for Interational students who apply to NUS, is there any certainty number of seat for International students??? How bout working experience, there is priority to accept applier who has working experience??? (...) Thanks... Wed, 02 Jan 2008 10:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#38175 Dear applicant, we have no fixed seats or quota for international students, or for any nationality, for that matter. Admission is thus by merit. Working experience is certainly relevant, but does not in itself give special priority to an applicant. We will consider the entire record of the applicant, including grades in university, working experience (if any), references from professors, other achievements, etc. I hope this helps :) Alan Tan Vice-Dean, NUS Law Wed, 09 Jan 2008 10:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#38404 Dear Mr. Tan, I would like to ask you upon scholarships awarded by NUS. How many scholarships are there in NUS?. What is the criteria for an applicant (especially for foreign student) to be granted with the scholarships?. And is it applicable for any courses available in NUS?. Thank you Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#38499 The good news is that we do not have a ceiling on the number of scholarships. Any number can be awarded, if the students deserve it. The criteria are: excellent results at the undergraduate level, and outstanding achievements in other related fields, e.g. mooting, journals, student leadership, pro bono/public interest work, etc (we are flexible in assessing non-classroom achievements). And the scholarships are available for all the LLM and PhD programmes. Alan Tan Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39407 Dear Sir, There are certain rumors going around, which i would like to have clarified by the Dean himself. Firstly, it is believed that there are two batches in NUS in a year. One better than the other. is this true ? On what basis is this distinction made? Secondly, apparently the recruitment is not so successful in NUS, would you kindly tell us an estimated percentage of all LLM students in a batch that get recruited. Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39413 I am happy to address your queries head-on. We have three intakes a year, the NYU@NUS group in May, the LLM International Business Law group in July, and the other LLM concentration groups in August (all these are described in detail on our website at http://law.nus.edu.sg/prospective/postgraduate.htm.) Each programme is targeted at different groups of students, depending on their interests. These are not different "batches", but different programmes altogether. The first is a dual degree programme with NYU, the second is a joint programme with the ECUPL in Shanghai that enables students to study in and experience both Singapore and Shanghai, and the third has the students study entirely at NUS in Singapore with various concentrations available. The competitive pool will vary within each group of applicants (students choose which programme they want), so it is inaccurate and inappropriate to claim that "one is better than the other". In my professional view, the best students in each group are comparable to one another (taking into account variations in language proficiency, if English is not the first language). As for recruitment, it depends on where the students are recruited. If you include students who get recruited in their home countries (and many students do wish to return to their countries after their studies), it would be almost the entire group that end up with jobs. If you are thinking about recruitment in Singapore only, that depends very much on the grades that the students obtain, as well as the country he/she is from. Because non-Singaporean LLM students do not qualify to take the Singapore Bar and to practise Singapore law, they typically get hired by Singapore firms to advise on the laws of their home countries only. As such, the Indians, Chinese, Indonesians and some European nations tend to get employed pretty quickly, naturally, because of the sizeable business/trade between Singapore and these countries, requiring law firms to have expertise in the laws of these countries. In the last couple of academic years, for instance, around 80 per cent of our Indian graduates who wanted to remain in Singapore got employment with Singapore companies. I would say that that is a pretty good number. As we emphasise to our students, getting recruitment in Singapore is never a guarantee, as long as the legal profession has restrictions on foreign lawyers. I hope this goes some way toward clarifying some of the misperceptions on your part. Alan Tan Vice-Dean and Director, Graduate Programmes Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39415 wow, this is quite helpful. thanks dean tan. i read before that one of the partners that NUS was considering in its LLM in international business law was peking university. is that still in the works? Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39424 Dear Mr. Tan, I have heard from propsective and admitted students that NUS prefers to admit freshers (i.e. students with no work experience) to the LLM program (LLM at NUS) rather than students who have some work experience. IS my understanding correct? Request you clarify the same. Many Thanks. Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39437 Thank you for your question. Again, that is a misperception. Quite clearly, we value both academic achievement AND work experience. Naturally, an applicant who has both these qualities will stand at the top of the heap, and that will come as no surprise for anyone. Then we have freshers with good academic achievements from top law schools, with little or no work experience (save perhaps for internships). We would admit these if we assess them as demonstrating excellent promise to become future leaders in their fields. We then have the category of applicants with average grades or achievements in law school, but who have had a few years of working experience (and professional maturity) to make up for it. We would admit this group readily, if their work experience is relevant and they show evidence of having excelled in a top law firm or distinguished government/NGO position. Often, though, it is a difficult judgment call for us, and work experience may not always be adjudged to make up for lacklustre grades. It really depends on what type of work the person has been doing. Overall, we turn away a large number of applicants (both freshers and those with experience) because we are a competitive law school. Naturally, this causes disappointment among some, but there is little we can do about it! It also means that you may hear some things which may not be altogether accurate, and I am happy to provide a clearer picture of our admissions process. Alan Tan Vice-Dean and Director, Graduate Programmes, NUS Law Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39451 Sun, 03 Feb 2008 20:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39602 Does anyone have any idea where NUS stands with respect to the World Rankings of the various colleges and Universities for LLM in corporate and finance studies ? How good is NUS keeping in mind the faculty, course design and reputation ? Fri, 08 Feb 2008 02:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#39888 I am also very confused. I had been admitted to the LLB program in Queen's university, Canada. I attempted to do a cross reference check between NUS's LLB (3-year graduate LLB programme) and Queen's. Anyways, I am thinking of applying to NUS's LLB when I chanced upon it last week. I hope someone can help me to determine if the probability is high. I have a good undergraduate degree from a Canadian university and was on the dean's list. A very much stale CCA record though. Help! Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#41121 Dear Mr. Tan I have applied for the LLM course in Maritime law at NUS. I have recieved an acknowledgement letter from the university which has asked me to submit a copy of my passport and Toefl score card as soon as possible. I seem to have a problem as due to bureaucratic procedural formalities my passport's issuance has been delayed and I expect to recieve it by the mid of March. Subsequently i shall take up my Toefl test at the end of the same month. I believe as by that time you will with all probablity declare the results of successful candidates. I write to you to enquire that is there any possibility that I might be offerred a place in the university and be allowed to submit my toefl score later. I would be glad if you could clarify my query. Thanking you in anticipation Fida Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#41213 edited Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#44221 when NUS admissions are coming?? we need to know ASAP as there are other offers too? anyone knows??

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#44261 To all applicants to the NUS LLM programme: We are on target to email decisions to all applicants next week (around 1st April).

Fri, 30 May 2008 03:32:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#47841 They said that such fee was not applicable for the Faculty of Law. The Faculty expects the tuition fee not to be more the SGD 10,000.

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#47979 Guys the revised fee is SGD 14,730.......isnt it too much???....a hike of 150%!!! Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:47:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#47980 Guys the revised fee is SGD 14,730.......isnt it too much???....a hike of 150%!!! Could you please inform us, where did u got the information? Their website, did not mention anything about the fees... Wed, 04 Jun 2008 06:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#47981 one of my friend has received the offer letter n also the registrar's website shows the revised fee.....please see one my previous links whr i hav pasted the link. Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#47994 That's too much. How can they do this??????? Many friends of mine (including me) decided not to apply for IBL as it's more expensive. But now, the fee for Singapore Programme is higher. If they really use this fee, at least, they should inform us earlier. Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48002 i knw....they hav made it more than double...with soaring dollar n inflation, this time total expenditure for whole AY would easily cross 30,000SGD whereas last year it was only 18,000-20,000 SGD. This is certailnly not fair. they should have increased the fees in phased manner. Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48015 I don't understand... Are u sure?! I received the admission package and there was written that the fees for the IBL 2008/2009 were 10.000 SGD and now you say 14730 SGD. Is it true?! Thu, 05 Jun 2008 04:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48032 http://law.nus.edu.sg/prospective/postgrad/fees.htm you may want to refer to this... Thu, 05 Jun 2008 05:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48033 if this is the situation, then i would definitely cancel my intention to apply to NUS, for the next year program Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:36:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48149 Have anyone received the offer package so far?

I don't know how they define the word "soon".

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48446 guys i checked the fees... it has no doubt increased but for IBL and Maritime law courses..... these courses are new so they have not increased the fee... as for accomodation evans lodge is full for the session... its really gonna be tough arranging for one... probably we should approach the overseas students affairs office... Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48538 Guys i never received any admission packet from the admissions office except one email. I do not know that the administration is so lazy and ignorant at NUS...........this is the worst applying experience of my life.....I hope u guys who r going to study there have a good time........ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 10:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/19660/last#48636 Guys I would like to rectify my earlier post........I was expecting to receive something by post, but it came to my surprize that NUS is not using postal method anymore, they just use email service to deliver the admission pack. Because I did not know about that development, I was still waiting for that. Mr. Alan (Dean of Graduate Studies) has informed me that they are using only email method, so taking this into consideration I would like to tell you that I received an email containing all stuff. I would like to thank Mr. Alan for his personal attentation towards students and to solve their problems. thanks again.......
