NUS Law provides a holistic education and a plethora of opportunities for students to explore and develop their potential. I've benefitted from the exchange programme, the wide range of elective modules, and the NUS Sports Scholarship. The collegiate environment as well as the support from my peers and professors have also made my time here truly enjoyable.

The far-reaching network of the NUS Law alumni means finding a friend everywhere I go in the industry. Their generous support also empowers students of all backgrounds, like myself, to represent NUS Law on the international arena and starting our own sub-club, Spaces@BTC which shines light on mental health issues faced by NUS Law students.

The Minor in Information Systems enables me to complement my legal education with advanced knowledge in technology and business through courses involving Programming, Software Architecture Design, and IT-Enabled Business Innovations. I am confident that my holistic education will equip me to thrive in a world where technology is disrupting both law and legal practice.

Every moot I participated in has been challenging, yet extremely rewarding. Each experience helped me gain confidence and think on my feet. On top of that, mooting provided the space for me to learn and apply the law beyond the realm of theory and the confines of the classroom. I am grateful for NUS Law and the favourable ecosystem it has created for mooters to pick up important skills and improve along the way

The LLM International Business Law specialisation I majored in is really well-designed. It broadened my horizons and helped me draw an integrated outline of the real international business world. The passion, expertise and energy of every professor and academic staff in NUS Law are great inspirations for students who want to try their best and keep moving to greater heights.

As someone who wants to practise law internationally but coming from a civil law country, I decided to get myself familiar with a common law approach and also learn the subject from a global international perspective. With its excellent reputation, broad research and career opportunities, NUS Law seemed to be a perfect solution! I can say that NUS is surpassing all my expectations by expertly combining the classical legal education and the modern approach.

The last year in Singapore was an amazing and outstanding year in many ways, but also because of my experience at NUS Law. My programme motivated me with very high-quality individual classes, which were taught by diverse, knowledgeable, and approachable professors. The unique and practical insights they shared not only enriched my understanding but also genuinely fostered curiosity. I was challenged to stretch and grow; my voice grew stronger – thank you for all the support!

Throughout my legal career, I have worked with many NUS Law alumni, all of whom exhibited deep legal knowledge, nimble thinking, and a high degree of professionalism. NUS was thus my natural first choice. The elective subjects are extensive and relevant, and I particularly look forward to furthering my knowledge in cross-border disputes, international projects and infrastructure.

I would never imagine returning to my alma mater 10 years after completing my LLM studies at NUS, but here I am, proudly part of the inaugural 2-year JD programme. I am excited to challenge my years of practice by learning the underlying theories behind the common law of Singapore and immersing myself in an educational experience that embraces a truly global approach.

The day I finished my exams, I walked Central Park from end to end. Spring was cool and the sun, a phosphorous yolk in the sky. I had no serious meditations and could not pretend to either. In a city like New York, absent-minded ambles are luxurious. You’re reading this in a brochure right now, no doubt baffled about how any of this is relevant. It is. You dont need me to recite a full academic catalogue (easily available on the website) or to name-drop academic celebrities. You don’t need to hear pitches on academic rigour and opportunities. What’s already been promised to you is true and more. My best pitch is to convey a taste of the city’s lessons - the astonishing demand and value of both rudeness and courtesy, the steeled jaw in the face of curb side crudeness and the constant negotiation with your senses. Is this romantic? Hardly - but certainly compelling. Need proof? Why don’t you find out for yourself?

My exchange experience was so much more than I anticipated. I ticked off things on my bucket list such as bungee jumping and sky diving, solo travelled and became fast friends with people from all over the world. Meeting people from all walks of life, from different cultures, with different worldviews, shaped my values and allowed me to grow. My advice: step outside your comfort zone. Do what scares you. Be open to new experiences, meeting new people and different ways of thinking.

Studying in UofT has been everything I expected and so much more. The academic program gave me the opportunity to learn from leading academics and professionals in a variety of interdisciplinary fields. Outside the classroom, the city is home to one of the most culturally diverse populations in the world and every street shines with its own unique identity. With sport events throughout the year and beautiful landscapes just a short drive away, there is always somewhere to explore while living and studying in this vibrant city.
