I request anyone who has suitable information, to let us applicants for 2010 know, if there are any scholarships for LLM (Coursework degrees and/or International Business Law), apart from the ones mentioned in the application forms. If yes, where would we be able to find information and deadlines about the same?

Dear Faith and Doyel,

NUS as such only offers the scholarships, which you see being reflected in the application form. other than that, you might consider looking for institutional scholarships in your respective countries. Most of these scholarships are awarded by the said institutions on your successful admission to the university.

My experience was that institutions are a little less willing to fund you with scholarships if you opt a corporate/ commercial law specialised programme (I really don'tknow why.. Do corporate lawyers really make so much more money than anyone else??!!!) Nevertheless, i do not mean to discourage you in your endeavors and wish you luck for your applications..

you might find this link (for indian students) relevant..

Thanks a lot for postin this link..but gues wat..none of these pages can be loaded...except for the Debesh Schol...but thanks anyway..i really appreciate it..!!

Thanks a lot for the information and the link... but I also was unable to access the page...

hey.. does anyone has any idea about how many seats are there in NUS for llm?

The number isn't fixed and depends upon how many students get selected across the different courses ( in the coursework programmes..).. The present class comprises about 135 students or so. You can go the NUS law website alumni directory (http://www.law.nus.edu.sg/alumni/alumni_directory.htm) and check out the alumni list. It will give you a fair clue as to the average intake forevry acaemic session.

Thanks a lot !!!!That will certainly be of help

one more thing, does IELTS score has any weigtage as far as admissions are concerned ?

IELTS scores are taken only to see your English proficiency for determining your suitability in the programme. In case you're from India, and have done your undergrad degree in English, you may consider requesting for an IELTS waiver (endorsed to that effect by your law school) alongwith the application.

i recieved an acknowledgement letterfrom NUS stating mu application is incomplete as i had provided tham with the copy of provisional degree . they are asking for the copy of original degree which i will be getting afterwards. They have further stated in the acknowledgment that they are accepting the provisional as of now and had requested me to submit the original as soon as it is availabale. i dont know what to do , whether they will process my application further or not ?

yes i am from India and had already taken ILETS test and got a band of 7.5.

@rishablaw- i've sent you a PM on llm guide. kindly check

I have received an acknowledgment letter saying my official transcript has not been received by them. I had sent it though. Looks like either there is a mix-up at NUS or at the Courier office.

Anyway...now if I re-apply, my University will take at least 15 working days to re-issue it. So if my transcript is received by them in say 20 working days, will they still consider my application?

hey Doyel had you submitted the original degree or the provisional ?

had submitted the original official transcript that I got in a sealed envelop from university..
