  • Visiting Scholars & Researchers Programme

The NUS Faculty of Law Visiting Scholar and Visiting Researcher Programme is intended to accommodate legal professionals and academic faculty from other universities who wish to spend a period of time at NUS Law pursuing research on a particular topic. This program is designed to accommodate visitors with a broad range of legal experience and qualifications. We strongly believe that the intellectual life at NUS Law is enriched by the academic and regional diversity of our visitors.

Visiting Scholars are those with a Faculty appointment at their home institution or equivalent professional status (e.g., experienced jurists, government officials, and senior practitioners), who may wish to visit for a temporary period of up to two months.

Visiting Researchers will typically be PhD degree candidates (or equivalent), younger professionals and others who are at the beginning of a promising legal or academic career, who may wish to visit for a temporary period of up to two months.

The integration of visitors into NUS Law is a central goal of this program. Visiting Scholars and Researchers may therefore be invited to attend Faculty events, workshops, legal studies conferences, and colloquia.

If you are a current graduate student registered at another University who has completed at least two semesters (one full year) at your university, you may elect to spend one semester or year with NUS as a Non-Graduating Non-Exchange (NGNE) student instead. Admission to this programme is subjected to applicants fulfilling the relevant application and admission criteria. Details may be found at http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/prospective-students/non-graduating. Please note that the NGNE programme is administered separately from the Visiting Researchers & Scholars Programme.
