Dr. Alan Tan Vice-Dean and Associate Professor, NUS Law Wed, 01 Oct 2008 06:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50911 Dear Sir, I am a student from India, keen on gaining admission into NUS. Sir, I have been brought up at home with English as one of the principle languages of communication, in school the medium of instruction was english and in college for my LLB, the medium was again English. Is the TOEFL mandatory for all students coming from Non - English speaking countries ? Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50935 Hello from Panama. My question is about the tuition fee. It says for the LLM (International Business Law), that it will be S$10,000. Is that amount for the entire year or is it per semester? Thanks in advance. Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50936 That amount is for the entire year. Graduate Division NUS Law Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50937 In response to the earlier query, yes, TOEFL or IELTS is mandatory for students from non-English speaking countries. For students from countries such as India, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Nigeria where legal education is conducted in English, we can also waive the TOEFL/IELTS requirement. Graduate Division NUS Law Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50938 Hello again. For the bachelor's transcripts, can I submit an authenticated copy, or it has to be the original? Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50959 In reference to the TOEFL: can I submit the rest of the required documents now, and the results later, because it will be taken via internet and the grades can be sent directly to the NUS. Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#50987 Dear Sir, I am a student from India, keen on gaining admission into NUS - LLM _ Corporate and financial services law. Sir, I have been brought up at home with English as the only principle languages of communication and the medium of instruction in school and college for my LLB. Is the IELTS / TOEFL mandatory for all students coming from India also? Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51054 Indian students should attach a document attested by their law school authorities that the medium of instruction has been English. In such cases, we can provide a waiver of the TOEFL/IELTS requirement. Graduate Division NUS Law Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51055 Hi everybody, I'm a student in the current International Business Law batch for the class of 09. So we just moved, after nearly three awesome months in Singapore, to Shanghai and get our life started here. I'm from Germany and maybe I can give all prospective friends some inside view to NUS Law and especially regarding IBL, all from my student perspective. Wish you all the best with your applications. It's a bit of work with all the documents but I can tell you one thing: It is worth all the hazzle and even more! Cheers Ferdinand Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51058 I have a query for the Graduate Division, NUS Law. I am an applicant from India, currently in my final year of LLB programme. I want to apply to the LLM programme in Corporate & Financial Services Law, Intellectual Property & Technology Law and International Business Law. Now, do I need to file a seperate applicantions for all 3 of them? Kindly guide me with how should I go about when applying for different concentrations. Thanks Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51074 Hi everyone, I am currently in MBA in France. I have the french bar exam in september 2009 so I am looking for a LLM which start in january 2010. I would like to apply for the NUS LLM program in corporate & financial services and/or NYU-NUS, are there applications for JANUARY 2010? if not, do you know other LLM in asia which start in january. Thanks for your help Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51097 It is said that the University requires 92 for Internet TOEFL score, would there be any exception for those who receive 91 as their TOEFL score? do we have to take test again to be admitted for the program? Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51148 In response to the last two posts: 1. We only have an intake in August, not in January. However, we are open to students enrolling in August and taking a short break in September to go back and take their Bar examinations. 2. We are strict with our TOEFL/IELTS requirements. As such, we would advise anyone who scores lower than the minimum to re-take the TOEFL/IELTS. You can submit your applications first by the deadline, and forward the TOEFL/IETLS results to us later when you receive them. That is entirely acceptable. We look forward to receiving your applications. Graduate Division NUS Law Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51161 Graduate Division NUS Law Kindly post a reply to my query too. That will be really helpful. Thanks Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51167 If you are applying for the LLM (International Business Law) programme, a separate application is needed. If you are applying for any of the other LLM programmes, only one application is needed - you can indicate your choice of specialisations on the application form itself (ranking them by priority). Graduate Division NUS Law Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51181 Thanks. Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51292 Dear Mr. Tan, I would like to know if the admissions at NUS are "rolling basis" for the Masters in Law and the Business Law programs? Furthermore, I would like to know if I can send the TOEFL registration before receiving the results? Thanking you in advance. Your sincerely. Mr. Luca Probst Switzerland Sat, 25 Oct 2008 09:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51301 In response to the above query - no, we do not use a "rolling" basis. All applications are accepted during the application period, and assessed once the deadline passes. If students need to have an expedited decision, we can accommodate that. If your TOEFL results only come out after the application deadline, you should send your application forms first, and submit the results later. Graduate Division NUS Law Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51346 Thank you very much for all your help. Best regards, Luca Probst Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51392 Dear Mr. Alan Tan, In case of getting the minimum requirement, I would like to know whether the english score impacts on the admission and also on getting the scholarship or not. Thx in advance. Sun, 02 Nov 2008 04:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51465 Yes, of course the English score is relevant to admission and scholarships. We look at the entire package - academic grades, extra-curricular activities, leadership, English score, work experience, academic references. Graduate Division NUS Law Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51620 hello i am a final year student. hav 1st class in LLB hav done few national moots n also internship in law firms.......what r my chances into this course. please guide me through thr procedure for appling. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 02:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51826 In response to addious, it is hard to say what your chances are without seeing your full CV and ranking it against other applicants. Our advice is for you to apply - applications have opened for the August 2009 intake and full information and application forms are available on our website at http://law.nus.edu.sg/prospective/postgraduate.htm Best regards, Graduate Division NUS Law Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:04:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#51905 thank you for ur reply sir. another thing i wanted to ask ie i havent appeared ILETS till nw, will be giving it in jan, can i still apply for ur university!!! Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52069 Dear Sir I am applying for the LLM program in IBL and Corporate and Financial Services. I have duly filled two forms for the same. 1. However, it is stated on the website that the original TOEFL score sheet would be required. Would it be possible that the original sheet be attched in one form and referred in the other one? 2. I had indicated on the TOEFL site to send score to NUS Department of Law. How can i check if my score sheet has been delivered to you and thereafter send the forms accordingly. Your response would really help me in sending the form on time. Due to some postal issues i have still not recieved my original TOEFL sheet and in the event that my score has been delivered to NUS, I would be able to meet the candidature requirements. Thanks and Regards Richa Chaturvedi Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:26:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52095 Hey Richa, I believe Indians don't require to give TOEFL. Grad Admissions Please clarify. Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52125 Applicants who have studied for their LLB in English (such as Indian students) can submit a request for waiver of TOEFL/IELTS. This request can be submitted along with the application form. However, if you have taken TOEFL/IELTS and attained a good score, please do indicate this. It will serve to confirm your aptitude in English. As for the earlier enquiry, you will need to send in only one TOEFL/IELTS score even if you are applying for both a regular LLM and the LLM - International Business Law. As long as you indicate the NUS as the recipient of the score, we will be sure to obtain it. Otherwise, we will get back to you to let you know if we don't obtain the score. Graduate Division NUS Law Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52127 That means when we have a good score, Indians can just indicate that without ordering for TOEFL reports to be sent to you? Right? Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52128 If you have a score, you should of course get it (the official score) sent to us. It can only help your application. Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52487 Graduate Division Now, how much time do you take to send us back the acknowledgment. One more thing, both my referees have sent their reports directly to you. I hope that will be fine. Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52627 Mr Tan I am a Indian Student who has applied for LLM in Intellectual Property Rights I have sent my application to NUS along with a certified copy of my IELTS score sheet.I know that as an Indian student who has been educated in English,I do not require IELTS.However having read a few earlier posts where you stated that if my score is good,it would help my admissions,i decided to send the scores.Hence i have not requested for a waiver from the IELTS/TOEFL requirement.(I have a 8.5 overall band score).Now i have encountered a problem.I have asked for a additional test report form to be sent to NUS and there has been some delay in this being sent.Hence it has not reached NUS before the 1st December deadline.Will this jeopardize my admission process.I am quite worried.The admission form along with other required documents should have reached NUS before the 1st dec deadline Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#52629 I also had another query.When i had asked you earlier i was told that NUS requires a 65% or more to increase chances of admission.I have secured a 62%.However this puts me in the top 5% in my class.My academic referees have also vouched for this in the reference forms.What im trying to say is the marking system in my university is stringent.Will this be given any consideration during admissions?? thankyou Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:41:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#53397 Dear sir, I have a question regarding admission into NUS's graduate LLB programme 2009. I have a Bachelor of Arts (1st class hons) from the university of Hong Kong but rather weak Singapore GCE A'Level results.

I am also a Dean's list recipient, a recipient of the Japan Society of Hong Kong scholarship and am proficient in English (GP B3), Chinese (AO Chinese A2) and Japanese. May I know what are my chances of admission? Thank you.

I however have received a mail stating that my last semester transcripts need to be submitted by June 09 and also stating my application being incomplete. Will I be considered for admission on the basis of my other documents since I believe NUS will declare the names of successful candidates by April 09? Thank you in advance and look forward to your reply!

Graduate Division NUS Law Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#53998 To all enquirers above: It is more convenient if you direct enquiries directly (by the p.m. mode) to our email account. On general enquiries for students graduating only in June or July 2009, what we will do is to assess your applications as we have received them. On that basis, we may offer you a conditional acceptance in April 2009, which is subject to your fulfilling certain requirements in your final examinations.

Once the application period ends, when are the results going to be announced. I read somewhere that it will be in April, but I need to know if this is true or not, to know, first if I was accepted and to make the proper arraignments. I wish to you a happy New Year. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#54454 To all applicants: We aim to release results in the last week of March, leading to 1st April.

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 02:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#57001 It is difficult to outline what one's chances are, as it is relative to the competitive pool every year. Generally, scholarship holders have good academic results (First or Distinction level), and have excellent extra-curricular achievements e.g. publications, national- or international-level prominence in sports, the arts, moot court competitions, etc. Graduate Division NUS Law Thu, 12 Mar 2009 03:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#62943 By when do we expect the admission decisions.???

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 08:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66823 Congrats Whistle! I'm really nervous now that I hear that someone has gotten decisions. By e-mail, correct? Just out of curiosity, what is the background of the average applicant? I'm only graduating out of undergrad this coming June in the U.S. and I'm wondering if everyone else has a background in law already... I'd feel like I'm behind from everyone else and have to play catch up. Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66826 Thanks Shinkirou :) I have gotta e-mail from them. I don't have much of an idea as to what r they looking for. I am completing my undergrad in Law in April. So, mine is a conditional offer which will become unconditional once I send my final transcript to the Graduate Office. Don't worry. Keep ur fingers crossed and hope 4 da best :) Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66827 Did anyone received offer from NUS. i heard that results were suppose to be out by end of March.......Kindly update! Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66845 at least one person has!! lets hope we too receive our offers soon.. this is so exciting!! i can hardly contain myself.. the coming week promises to be quite a roller coaster ride for all the applicants.. all the best everybody :-) looking forward to the action on this forum in the coming days Mon, 30 Mar 2009 12:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66847 But I heard and saw Mr. Tan reply that results wood be released by 1st April. So how come one person received the offer. One more thing , will a person get an intimation for rejection via email? Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66850 yes we will be told via email.Also it might take time because there are lots of applicants.Does anyone know what kind of scores they are looking for?I'm form India so what is the percentile you are required to have. Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66851 the word that has usually been around is that they look for 65% and above.. but Mr. Tan has emphasised quite a few times that they look at the overall package. surprisingly, we have never come to know about this one particular criteria despite this forum going on over the years. the percentage issue has never been discussed once all the admissions are announced, becomes a thankless exercise actually- one is obviously engrossed in celebrating his/ her success story and finding out who are the other people joining. whatever it is, I feel that NUS definitely remains much more competitive than most UK/ US varsities leaving the creme de' la creme aside... so, the percentage has to play a significant, if not the biggest role in successful admission. Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66859 guys, i hve gotta an early offer bcoz i emailed NUS asking 4 my results as I hve got an offer 4m UCL and I had to make a decision on acceptance. I guess u guys shud contact NUS if u guys dnt hear 4m them by 1st. They do email rejections Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:21:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66862 don't think its a wise idea to contact NUS at this point of time. they'd be busy the whole first week of April sending offers to the successful applicants. may be it'l be better to wait patiently for our respective emails rather than emailing our queries. Of course, for candidates like Whistle, its a very practicabe solution and really nice on the part of NUS to send an early offer. Congrats Whistle for the double sundae!! what would you choose now- UCL or NUS? Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66863 Hi everyone, I can see that decitions are been handed out alredy, I thing I have alredy bitten all my nails, im really nervous because I have been accepted in a University here in Colombia and i have to inform them if im accepting by april 1st, but of course my priority is NUS, does anyone know if decitions are been handed out in any special way? Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:20:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66893 Hi cvp Thanks :) ofcourse, NUS any day :) I tink taking so much of loan 2 study dat too wen one isn't sure 2 get a job in UK after LLM is foolishness... Best wishes for ur results :) Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66923 Can someone clarify something for me? I've heard both and I'm not sure which to believe... should you expect the decision by April 1st or by the first week of April? I have other schools waiting on the back-burner too, but NUS is definitely my top choice. Looks like I have to waste a few hundred dollars to keep the other schools at bay... Best of luck to everyone here!! I hope to meet all you nice people :P Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#66926 instead of wasting money..u shud mail dean Tan and tell him your situation.

We guys are a small team of about ten lawyers involved in commercial and consumer litigation, arbitration and a bit of corporate work- due diligences, agreements n all.. we're mainly advising pharma cos, healthcare groups, stockbroking cos, PSUs and multinational banks.. i've applied for corporate and financial services and IBL. lets hope i hear from NUS soon.. its the only place i've applied to.. April 1st his here.. no news from NUS as yet.. Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:50:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#67135 to those who got the scholarship, is it sufficient to pay for everything? do you have to shell out something for some expenses? or is enough to cover living expenses and school expenses? Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/50898/last#67139 Hi all, I found out yesterday that I got in for the LLM in IP and Tech law! So excited! I replied immediately! Question 1 - they tell you if you got a scolarship with you acceptence? 2- I also see that there is no possibility of getting the Service Obligation grant thing for LLM coursework students.. Does anyone know more about this? Congratulations to all!
