The Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree is not only an undergraduate honours degree; it is also a professional degree that is recognised for admission to practice in Singapore. Our graduates have also been admitted to practice in Malaysia, in several Commonwealth jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, and some states in the United States. The programme is open to both Singaporean and international students.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
The four-year LLB programme is available on a full-time basis and leads to the LLB (Hons) degree:<\/p>\n
The detailed requirements for admission can be found on the NUS Office of Admissions website at: nus.edu.sg\/oam\/admissions.<\/a> Admission requirements vary, depending on the qualifications presented for admissions.
