NYU Law in Singapore

NYU@NUS - A Dual Master's Program for Global Business Lawyers

NYU School of Law and one of Asia's leading law schools, the National University of Singapore (NUS), offer an unparalleled legal education for students who want to become leaders in international business and gain a foothold in Asia. In one year, students earn two LL.M. degrees from these world-renowned institutions and qualify to sit the New York Bar exam while studying in three cities at the center of the global economy, Singapore, Shanghai and New York City.

Combining the rigorous training of an NYU Law LL.M., with NUS' expertise in Asian legal institutions and corporate law, NYU@NUS students develop skills that position them for careers at prominent law firms, governments, or NGOs in Asia.

In order to successfully complete the NYU LL.M. in Global Business Law and qualify to sit the New York Bar Exam, students must complete 24 credits, 20 credits of which must be taken with NYU faculty in residence in Singapore. The National University of Singapore recognizes coursework taken in pursuit of the NYU master's degree, and students complete about an additional 4 classes of average credit in order to graduate from the NUS LL.M. program. Students may opt to complete the NUS master's degree by specializing in areas such as Corporate & Financial Services Law or Intellectual Property & Technology Law, among others. Students may complete these requirements by research, by taking additional classes in Singapore, or by traveling to Shanghai with NUS professors to take classes at the East China University of Political Science and Law.

Courses

The NYU@NUS academic calendar begins with an intensive Summer Term taught exclusively by NYU faculty (May to July), followed by NUS Semester 1 where students choose from classes offered by NUS and visiting NYU faculty (August to early December). A "Winter" Term offers additional exclusive NYU classes in December, followed by NUS Semester 2 (January to early May). Many students complete their studies between February and April. The NYU@NUS Convocation (graduation ceremony) usually takes place in February/March.

This allows ample opportunity to take advantage of courses in NYU and NUS's areas of strength, including corporate law, international and comparative law, US and Asian law, intellectual property, and technology law, to name a few.
