中文版 Coursework Programmes Master of Laws (International Business Law)
Building on the expanding links between Singapore and the People's Republic of China, this programme signifies another innovative step towards the NUS Law School's vision of becoming a leading global law school. Indeed, the NUS Law School has been at the forefront of curriculum developments to make legal education more international and comparative in orientation. Staffed by an outstanding international faculty with degrees from leading law schools from more than a dozen jurisdictions, NUS academic staff continue to make an impact internationally with their teaching and research. The approval of the Chinese authorities for this programme is a further validation of the high reputation that the NUS Law School enjoys both within and outside Asia. This is particularly true given the fact that China receives a large number of applications for degree programmes involving foreign educational institutions. Curriculum The curriculum reflects an innovative and exciting programme that will benefit every law student and practitioner who is interested in the growing field of international business law. Students enrolled in the programme will spend their first nine weeks (July – September) at NUS where they will read two subjects as well as undertake internships with law firms, government bodies or the courts. They will then spend the rest of their time in Shanghai (October – May) at premises set aside for the NUS Law School within ECUPL's campus. Professors from NUS will typically conduct a total of 10 subjects in the programme, while professors from ECUPL will offer 2 subjects. Students will need to read a total of 10 subjects (or 40 credits of courses) to complete the programme. Teaching will be conducted by leading faculty members from NUS and ECUPL. The following subjects will be offered: (these may change from year to year): Academic Year 2008-2009 In Singapore

Law Reasoning & Writing

Each subject will be conducted intensively over a two-or three-week period, with the various subjects running consecutively in successive periods. Students with an LLB degree or first law degree from common law countries may read two alternative subjects while at NUS, in place of Common Law Reasoning & Writing and Common Law of Obligations. These courses are compulsory for students with non-common law training.
Internship in Singapore While students are in Singapore, the NUS Faculty of Law will use its best endeavours to secure internship places for a 2-week period in the Supreme Court of Singapore, the Subordinate Courts of Singapore, and leading law firms. We gratefully acknowledge the support of the following Courts and law firms in the 2008/2009 Academic Year:
