Master of Laws in Commercial Law (London/Singapore)
The Dual LLM in Commercial Law (London and Singapore) program aims to provide students with a unique opportunity to study commercial law in two major commercial hubs, London and Singapore. The program is designed to give you a broad overview of Asian commercial law in Singapore and, by taking a series of specialist taught modules and a dissertation in London, an in-depth understanding of commercial law and its application to everyday practice.
This is a highly intensive 16-month degree program where you will gain insight into the legal underpinnings of commerce in the West and East. On successful completion, you will be awarded a Dual LLM in Commercial Law (London and Singapore) from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in the UK and Singapore Management University (SMU) in Singapore.
This program provides:
- Expert and in-depth understanding of the workings of commercial law and the application of the law to everyday practice. You will also gain the ability to assess critically and comment upon the current state of the law from an international and transnational perspective and conduct advanced research in this area of law.
- A major focus on international and comparative issues, and on the importance of legal principles, rules, and laws underlying business and commercial relationships. You will be equipped with a thorough understanding of key aspects of commercial law from multiple perspectives.
- Will allow you to develop an in-depth understanding and explore transnational approaches to resolving commercial problems.
- A fully integrated program where you will stay connected to both universities throughout the 16-month program. You will be given thorough inductions at each of the two stages of the programme in both universities. Lecturers from both universities will be available to you, throughout your studies, whether you are in Singapore or in London.
