SINGAPORE – Law students at the Singapore Management University (SMU) who wish to specialise can now do so in corporate transaction, law and technology, or dispute resolution – three tracks that are tailored to better prepare them for employment.
SMU also announced on Thursday that all law students must take a mandatory law capstone course, which is interdisciplinary in nature, before they graduate from the Yong Pung How School of Law (YPHSL).
SMU is the only law school in Singapore to offer the specialisation tracks for students.
This will allow students to grow their understanding of core law subjects while deepening their expertise in the chosen fields, the school said.
Their choice will be reflected on their official transcripts upon graduation from the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) and Juris Doctor programmes.
The new schemes will benefit students that enrolled on or after the 2021-2022 academic year.
Mr Adrian Teh Tian Xin, a second-year student, has chosen to specialise in corporate transaction.
