LLM Discussion Board

Hi.

I have received my offer from NUS for the IBL programme. i am only confused about my accomodation at Singapore. I have applied Evans Lodge for a room. other than this is there any other option....in case i dont get a booking at Evans. I prefer any hostel close to the capmus... not private accomodation.

or else is there a on capmus accomodation available??

further, what about stay at Shanghai... when should we book our accomodation?

Study for your LLM in two of Asia's great cities: applications are now open for the NUS LLM in International Business Law programme. This is a collaboration between the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL) in Shanghai, China.

The degree is awarded solely by NUS. Students will spend the first two months (August and September) at the NUS campus in Singapore, where they will read 2 to 3 subjects and undertake internships with leading law firms, government agencies or the courts. They will then spend seven months (October to April) at ECUPL's downtown Changning campus in Shanghai, where professors from both NUS and ECUPL will offer a total of 10 subjects.

The programme provides a solid legal foundation in international business and financial transactions law. The cutting-edge subjects taught include comparative corporations law, banking and international payments, international taxation, comparative corporate governance, international commercial arbitration, international and comparative law of sale, international corporate finance, cross-border commercial transactions and Chinese intellectual property law.

The programme lasts 10 months, requiring the study of 10 subjects in total, and is taught entirely in English by leading NUS and ECUPL faculty. The course is primarily targeted at students from outside Asia who desire a comprehensive English-language specialization in international business law, with a focus on emerging Asian markets such as China. It also provides students from non-common law backgrounds with an overview of common law principles relevant to international business and commerce. Finally, the course offers students a unique and unparalleled opportunity to live and study in two great Asian financial centres, Singapore and Shanghai.

The current group of students comprises 44 highly motivated individuals from 12 countries, including China, India, Canada, Austria, Spain, Chile, Italy, Germany, Malaysia, Philippines and Turkey.

The tuition fee is US$6,900 (or S$10,000, 4,800 Euros or RMB 50,000). Accommodation is available near or within both campuses in Singapore and Shanghai. Applications close 31 January 2008.
