LLM students get first preference at graduate residencies in U town. so u will for sure get ur place.

Thanks for the info...Does it make sense to stay off campus and travel? How workable is that option?

@rkarthik: I've seen the site but the online applications open only by May 15th I think. Is that correct?

Hi India,
Thanks a lot for all the info..I am taking up LLM in Corporate and Financial Services Law..Could you give me reference of any of ur friend who could help us out with CFSL class notes and can also give some insight on the subjects and professors. Thanks in advance :-)

Hi India,
Could you please help me out with some contacts who have done their LLM general.....would like to get a heads up in terms of the modules available....and also the course materials....:-)..txs in advance...

Guys, it's not going to help you particularly to get in touch with people who have done your specialization before, mainly because to get the specialization you only need to do 24 credits worth of modules and especially for corporate and general specialization LLMs, obviously the choice of modules is really wide. Again, it's no help asking for notes for e.g. the corporate LLM, because you can have 2 people who have the specialization but who took totally different modules. It would help you more to ask about specific modules, professors etc.

The modules which were available last year are found here: http://law.nus.edu.sg/student_matters/course_listing/elective_subjects.html

It should be updated in mid-June for the coming academic year, if I remember correctly.

I had a query about changing LLM General to specialisation.

First and foremost, how does the industry (job-market) view the degree. Suppose Mr. A does with LLM (CFL) and Mr. B does LLM (General).. Which candidate is given preference. As per my understanding, a candidate with LLM (CFL) would get preference if he plans to enter the financial legal sector.

Secondly, if an LLM General persons wants to change to specialisation, he has to complete 24 credits. So when do we need to complete the said credits? in the first sem itself? If yes, that would mean, we need to select all 24 credits / 6 subjects of the first sem from the course of that said specialisation. Can you please clarify? Also, are there any other requirements for changing the course to specialisation?

Thanks.

Just want to understand the concept of course shifting:

So that means, we can stretch those 24 credits for 2 Semesters rather than completing 24 credits in the first Sem itself. For eg. complete 12 credits in Sem 1 and select 12 credits for Sem 2 and make request to University to change from General to specialisation. Is this understanding correct?

Although i understand that the study in CFL specialisation would be pretty heavy if we select all subjects from a specialisation, but would it be advisable to take up subjects to explore new areas rather than taking up those subjects related to your field?

Also, i believe we would get to know the professors in the first sem, so we would be able to wisely select our subjects for the second sem only.

In the first place, you can't do 24 credits in one semester, only 20. So I think it does not matter how you allocate between the two semester as long as after you have finalized your module selection for Semester 2, you have at least 24 credits in a particular specialization, then you should get that specialization.

Also, modules in semester 1 and 2 are different, virtually none run in both semesters, therefore it would be better to do more research in advance on the courses and professors before you start the first sem.

Has anyone received the second email from NUS?

Also, I needed a clarification on student visa. Am moving to S'pore by June end. I understand I need to get a social visit pass before the course starts in August. What is the process to shift from the social pass to a student pass? Is it a difficult one?

Thanks,

Aishwarya
