Master of Laws in International Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

The LLM (IADR), which was launched in August 2016, seeks to nurture lawyers and scholars to conduct rigorous and independent inquiries into relevant dispute resolution issues, to promote transnational approaches to arbitration, to articulate critical and impactful insights, and to propose solutions beneficial to the local and global communities. This specialised LLM programme enables a student to acquire an in- depth understanding of the laws and practices of international arbitration and dispute resolution. It has the advantage of being located in Singapore which is one of the preferred locations for arbitration in the world, and where many top arbitrators and academics often converge. As a hub for international dispute resolution, Singapore is also a leader in mediation, having fostered the Singapore Convention on Mediation. Singapore has also created the Singapore International Commercial Court on which foreign judges sit.
