Overview
The auditing programme allows legal professionals to attend any of the subject courses conducted by the Faculty and receive the accompanying course materials. The programme is intended for those who are unable to undergo a full graduate programme but who would like to take a particular graduate course.
Participants will attend and observe courses taught by our instructors and which are conducted together with the LLB, JD, LLM and other graduate students. Applicants are exempted from course requirements (such as presentations, class projects, assignments or examinations) and are expected to abide by the guidelines of the respective course instructors on class participation. Participants will be issued Certificates of Participation if they have attained at least 75% attendance for the classes of the relevant course.
Classes will be conducted at the Bukit Timah Campus.
