Compulsory Courses This course is intended to help international graduate students from non-English medium institutions improve their written and oral communication skills in English in preparation for their graduate studies at the Faculty of Law. It is conducted intensively over three weeks before the start of the academic year teaching week. Students identified to read this course will be notified well ahead of the academic year.
Students who are required to attend the
Intensive English Language Course but are unable to come to Singapore before
the start of the academic year will be required to sit for the Diagnostic
English Test conducted by the Centre for English Language Communication.
Unless the test results indicate that any particular student should be
exempted from the Graduate English Course, students will be required to
attend this course. The Graduate English Course is also required of students
who do not perform satisfactorily in the Intensive English Language Course.
The Graduate English Course is conducted throughout the first semester. Common Law Legal System of Singapore and Common Law Reasoning & Writing These two courses have been specially designed for LLM students from non-common law backgrounds. The Common Law Legal System of Singapore provides students with an overview of the legal system in Singapore, with an emphasis on the common law of obligations. Common Law Reasoning & Writing provides students with skills in common law reasoning, including case analysis and statutory interpretation. It includes writing exercises designed to teach students legal writing as practised by common law lawyers. These two subjects are compulsory for all students from non-common law backgrounds, but the requirement can be waived if students are able to demonstrate that they have the requisite skills and background in the common law.

understand the process of conceiving, structuring, and refining their
argument and the sorts of challenges and difficulties involved in this
process. It is compulsory for research students enrolled in the LLM by
