Science, Law and Social Science were my choices with the hope that even if I could not become a doctor of human being and cure their disease, I can be a doctor of the society so as to cure its illness.

NUS Law offering up to three fully funded places for its PhD programme starting August 2021.

Professor Patrick Osode is a professor of law at the Nelson Mandela School of Law, University of Fort Hare.
First Person Accounts: Maitreyee Kulkarni on the LL.M. at Institute for Law & Finance
The most important and differentiating factor of the ILF LL.M. course was that the curriculum built in 2 months of mandatory internship.
First Person Accounts: Shanu Jain on the Geneva LL.M. in International Dispute Settlement (MIDS)
I would strongly recommend prospective applicants who wish to pursue LLM in the courses relating to dispute resolution/settlement to at least gain two years of experience, which must include some exposure to the trial-court advocacy.
First Person Accounts: Harleen Sethi on the IP & Tech Law LL.M. at the National University of Singapore (NUS)
My number one advice to any LL.M. applicant would be to be a 100% sure as to why you want to pursue your masters and what value addition will the course bring to the table.
First Person Accounts: Simran Singh on the IADR LL.M. at the National University of Singapore (NUS)
It is rightly put that true learning begins at the end of your comfort zone and that’s exactly how I’d like to quote my LLM experience
First Person Accounts: Anusha Ravishankar on the LL.M. application at SOAS
In this lifetime, at some point or the other, I wanted to study in SOAS because I’ve learnt from alumnus and professors alike that it is like the JNU of the world.
First Person Accounts: Akansha Singh on the MBA application at INSEAD
While the LLM has its own strong set of advantages for a lawyer, an MBA presents me with a unique opportunity to learn something entirely alien to lawyers.
Some Expert Advice: Meghna Agarwal on prepping for the NCA exams, the Ontario Bar & more
Like every international trained lawyer, I had two options either to appear for National Committee on Accreditation (“NCA”) examinations or take up a master's course in Canada.
First Person Accounts: Adrija Mishra on the LL.M. from National University of Singapore (NUS)
I feel that a lot of times, applicants explain how the particular course would help them in their career but they do not focus on how they would be benefitting the university.
The LL.M. #Admission Interviews: Trent Anderson, St. John’s University School of Law
LL.M. students don’t just study and network with other LL.M.s, but are integrated into the law school community taking classes with J.D students and networking with alumni.
First Person Accounts: Tanya Tawakley on the J.D. at the University of Ottawa
Many people in India opt for the traditional LLM route but I realized that a degree that is geared more towards academia did not align with my goal of practicing abroad.
First Person Accounts: Monika Bashyam on the Admiralty LL.M., Tulane University
The way law schools function and operate in the US blew my mind, especially their Socratic method of lectures.
Begin with the end in mind: Jolene Blackbourn on pre-law advice, the law school experience & more
Most pre-law students think that one, they can take out all the student loans and easily pay them back when they start working. This is simply untrue and makes many attorneys depressed as they struggle to pay their bills!
