Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2019

4.1

Singapore is a brilliant place to study.

Tips: The course was relatively new when I joined as I was a part of the 2nd or 3 batch. I actually finished the course in 2013 and am now running my own law firm along with two others. Singapore is a brilliant place to study and live. The best part about the university is the diversity. I had friends from both sides of the pond. Europe, the Americas and other Asian countries. I would advise any student wanting to study outside to definitely consider Singapore as an option.

The NUS MBA - Batch of 2023

NUS MBA is good if you are open to exploring job opportunities outside of Singapore.

Tips: Come with a clearly defined goal of what you want from the program and dont expect to learn what you want from the program. Network with people a lot to help break into opportunities and dont rely on the college to find you a job. Push yourself to go out and learn new things, participate in case competitions, go on study trips (GIP) and make friends from different cultures.

Likes (Student Life): The college campus provides great infrastructure and offers a good college life right from sports all the way to libraries. There are more than 13 tennis courts, numerous basketball courts, gymnasiums and much more. The library is huge and it offers diverse choices. On top of this there are different options to choose from in terms of residence and you can interact with a diverse cohort.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Tough job market since the government launched COMPAS to award work permits. Due to this, recruiters find it difficult to hire expats. If you have a generic skill it is difficult to get hired. There is a premium on technical skillsets.

Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2025

A rigorous and international experience at NUS.

Tips: Students should be aware that this programme is academically rigorous and fast-paced, with reading that needs to be completed before each class. Students need to be proactive about networking and internship opportunities, as these are independent of the coursework. The transition was generally smooth. Classes are interactive and students are expected to participate as part of their grades and contribute from their own previous experiences. Personally, I did not avail myself of any scholarships. However the university offers certain merit-based scholarships as seen on their website, but these are competitive and limited in number and dependent on academic performance. I am satisfied with the university and the course due to the strength of the faculty and international exposure, safety, infrastructure and quality of life.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty consists of leading academicians and senior practitioners who are recognised authorities in their respective fields. Faculty members are approachable. Professors are open to discussions beyond class hours respond to emails and actively engage during lectures. The teaching methodology focuses on both theory and practice.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration in Singapore is connected to securing long-term employment. As an international student pursuing an LL.M. at NUS the course itself does not guarantee job placement. The university does not provide a placement process. Given a competitive and saturated job market transitioning from a student visa to a work visa can be uncertain. Having said that, if table employment opportunities are available I would be interested in permanently immigrating to Singapore.

Master of Laws (LLM) - Batch of 2025

3.9

A year of growth, grit and global learning; between books, botanical gardens and dreams.

Tips: Half of my batchmates were from China. They are quite smart and a close community. It will take time to get up with them but they are sweet, kind and simple. The country itself is quite silent except for tourist places. The day begins at 6 am & ends at 7 pm for them. However, for law students the classes go from 9 am to 9:30 pm depending on the subjects one opts for. The professors are quite down to earth and will guide you whenever you are stuck. There are numerous networking events in NUS and at various law firms. It is quite interesting to meet fellow lawyers and partners of the firm, especially the alumni. It was a wonderful experience living on your own and managing in a new country.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good. One gets flexibility to choose the subjects, interact directly with the professors, spend time in the study room and library, and explore the greenery around the campus. Fortunately, we got the botanical garden campus which was well connected to the main campus. We got to learn in a calm atmosphere with pleasant weather and explore the main campus which had a lot of events, museums, etc. to explore.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Considering the huge legal market and amount of competition, it is quite challenging to secure a full time position in Singapore. Strong networking and convincing skills along with a good resume may help to secure a full time position. After LL.M. one is required to give the FPE exam to practice in Singapore courts. If one wants to work in Singapore without giving the FPE exam, it is better to pursue a JD programme instead of an LL.M.

Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering) - Batch of 2018

4.8

Quality education without emptying your pockets.

Tips: Be prepared for high quality education with quality students from the rest of Asian. The environment is highly competitive but also conducive to learning. NUS changed my life completely and gave me my best years of learning, growth and friendships.

Likes (Indian Food): There is a food court culture in NUS where every faculty and residence has its own food courts with multiple options including that of Indian food. While pantries are there with each residence, there is hardly a need to cook your own food because food is available cheaply and easily.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Multiple companies across sectors sponsor visas however it is becoming increasingly difficult. Salaries can range from as low as 40,000 annually to 1,20,000, depending on the sector and quality. There is no on-campus placement system here. Jobs are through career fair and offline applications so applicants need to self prepare and self-apply.
