The Law degree of University of London is of international standing.
Over the last 100 years, the LL.B. has provided the first step on a
career route for thousands of practicing lawyers within the
Commonwealth and around the world.
As a general rule, the external LL.B. degree is not accepted for the
purpose of practicising in Singapore after 1996 notwithstanding the
fact that many practising lawyers
in Singapore are holders of the same external degree. However, it is
highly recognised globally and allows one to practice in the UK,
Australia, Malaysia and other parts of the world.
This Course would interest:
Individuals who wish to practice as Advocates and
Solicitors, other than in Singapore (by continuing their studies to
complete the LL.B. degree);
Court clerks, police officers, legal secretaries who
require additional knowledge or qualifications for purposes of career
advancements;
Individuals with a personal or professional interest
in legal and contractual matters; or who have a specific interest such
as those in arbitration, human resource and the insurance industry
Course Outline:
There are two course structures available for the LL.B. programme, the
Conventional (Schemes A & B) and the Graduate Entry (Routes A &
B), the difference between them
being the number of years within which the degree can be completed and
the number of subjects that need to be studied.
