Hi Melda,

Congrats!!

Even i received my IPA letter yesterday. Now, just need to arrange for my stay. Gosh...that seems to be an herculean task considering that i haven't got a clue about the places/hostels which are good and cheap!!!

If there are any suggestions please, do let me know.

Thanks.

Well, congrat to everyone. I'm already here, and let me tell you that this is a beautiful city, and the NUS building at Bukit Timah is also like that.

If somebody else has arrived should agree with me on that.

Hello,
has anybody paid the fee for LL.M? Do we need to pay in Singapore to the bank account or is it possible to pay directly to NUS, is it possible to pay by credit card? Anybody of you has any information?
thanks in advance!

Dear Dr Tan:
I am a lawyer from the Philippines. I intend to apply for the scholarship for those from the SEA countries. I am also interested in the NYU-NUS program. Is it possible to submit one set of documents for these two applications?

hey guys.. anyone currently enrolled in NYU-NUS? How much scholarship is given? Anyone enrolling without the scholarship? How much is the total costs? For the other LLM program, how much is the total costs to enroll? Is housing very expensive?
Anyone from Phils?

Hi APG,

Mr. Tan had replied with respect to the payment of the fees sometime back. This should help you.....

"Your fees will only become due after you arrive in Singapore and register for our programmes. In the next few weeks, we will provide specific information on transferring the relevant amounts by bank draft into NUS's bank account.

The details will differ depending on the exact LLM specializations (as the different programmes have different fee structures). For now, you do not have to send any amounts yet. Of course, if you are obtaining a bank loan, you may want to get the amounts credited to your accounts first. If the bank insists on making payment direct to NUS, please wait for our account instructions.

Hi, let me tell you about my current experience.

I write NUS, and they wrote me saying that the payment has to be by bank draft (not transfer). Son now that I'm in the country, I talk to my home and they told me that the operation was kind of difficult, because of all the requirements to be met.

Tried to buy one in here, but the bank requested me to open an account there, to be able to purchase a bank draft.

Thankfully I know someone here who has an account in a bank with a branch in Singapore, so that person can buy the draft in the bank and I only have to repay afterward.

Hope that my experience helps somehow.

Hi carlos_pan,

Thanks a lot. Now, i will try to carry the bank draft with me. Can you tell me whether we have to divide the fees for the two semesters or just one draft for the entire fees of S $ 14,730 (depending upon the course).

Moreover, what about the mandatory miscelleneous fees? Did you include the amount with the tuition fees or will make a separate draft for it?

Sorry...to many questions.

Thanks anyway.

Well my fren, I will be taking the International Business Law programme, and it is different from all other LLM (because we go to Shanghai after). NUS only requires us to pay a single fee of S$ 10,000 to pay for everything (as for today I haven`t been informed of any other fee).

If your are taking another programme, then I would strongly suggest to try to communicate with Vice Dean Tan, who will answer you in the best possible way.

Good Luck

For the LLM (IBL) programme - there is a single fee of S$10,000 to be paid in one amount, in bank draft only (and it must be made out in Singapore dollars to "National University of Singapore"). There is no mandatory miscellaneous fee.

For the other LLM programmes conducted entirely in Singapore - the fees are payable in two equal instalments at the beginning of each semester. In addition, there are the mandatory miscellaneous fees. Details of modes and deadlines of payment can be found at the following website, as has been advised in our last email to you - www.nus.edu.sg/finance/students/financialServices/…

Hi,
Like you i'm also Indian and in CFS and managed to get accommodation in Evans Lodge. However, i could get only a twin room. I guess if you managed to get a single room then you are luckier than me!!!

Best of Luck.

Well, tomorrow is 9 July, so, all of us who are going to take the common law courses will know about our classes and schedule. Hope to meet you all.

Of course, after that, in August, we'll welcome our other classmates.

Hi everyone,

I have just arrived in Singapore and am looking for a place to live. In the mean time though it'd be great to meet up with anyone who is free before the semester starts. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone soon!
