Hello,
I am considering to apply for LLM in NUS. I have a few queries regarding the same:-
a. I have completed my LLB in 2013 from CLC, DU and scored 64.6%. Is it enough score to get in NUS?
b. I have a work experience of 3 years in litigation. But I have not worked with any renowned lawyer. Is it necessary to have a corporate experience or to work with a renowned lawyer?
c. I have not published any research papers in terms of publication. Will it make a significant difference?
d. Before LLB, I have pursued MA in English. Is it a positive or negative point?
e. What kind of applications get shortlisted in NUS? What do they expect in SOPs?

Hi all! Thought we should start the ball rolling as previous batches did. We could use this forum as a platform to help and update one another as the application progresses! :)
All the best to everyone!

Hi Isha, to answer your questions: -
I believe your academic grades coupled with your work experience are pretty substantial. For work experience, I think any form of exposure would definitely be an added advantage [Well, some good news - if you look at past posts here, there have been fresh uni grads who've also secured a place in NUS]. I guess it depends on how you draft your SoP as well - everyone keeps emphasising on this! For SoP, it's mainly about why you're interested in the specific area, any sort of relevant experience/achievements and how this LLM would add value etc.
Also, I dont think pursuing an MA in English would be a disadvantage at all. As for shortlisting of applications, I called up NUS regarding this and they've mentioned that a Upper Second class Honours would make a competitive application.
Perhaps you could clarify with NUS on your queries too. The staff in the admissions dept is very friendly and very willing to help respond to your queries.
Hope this helps! All the best :)

Hi,
I'm planning to apply for a LLM at NUS Law this year.
In order to indicate my order of preference wisely, I was wondering which program is more "selective" between IBL and CFL. And how to explain the difference of amount between IBL fees and other LLM fees ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello. The email stated that they would inform the official outcome by April so I'm assuming they've already started giving out offers? Has anyone received any further email from them other than the confirmation?

Have not heard from them either! Congrats to all who've gotten an offer :)
Seems like the offers are coming out much earlier this year.

I think most of the decisions were taken by mid jan cz i received a mail around mid jan saying that my degree certificate was not duly attested and asked me to post the attested certificate once again. Upon receipt of the certificate, they offered me admission the very next day. So I'm presuming decisions were taken this time by mid Jan.
However, I haven't heard anything on scholarship till date.

Hi Simmi..I'm not sure what must have clicked for my admission.They did ask for good academic record and IELTS score,in my case its a percentage of 70 in LLB(Hons) and an IELTS score of 8.

My status on the application page of NUS says 'Processing'. Anyone else still waiting with this status? Surprised to hear about the admission calls made in Jan, was under the impression that it wasn't a rolling checking and all results would be released only March end/April beginning.
But congrats to all those that got in :)
