The NYU School of Law and NUS Dual Degree Program, known informally as NYU@NUS, offers a rich range of subjects designed for students who want the rigor of a New York University School of Law LL.M. but also the opportunity to research or practice in Asia.

By partnering with the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Law School is able to offer students a unique dual-degree program with a broad selection of subjects from NYU and NUS faculty, including a wealth of region-specific and comparative courses. Upon completion of the program, students earn both an LL.M. in Law and the Global Economy from NYU, and an LL.M. from NUS. All of this takes place in Singapore, which enjoys one of the world's most dynamic and open economies as well as being the gateway for many multinational corporations into Asia.

In partial completion of the requirements for the NUS LL.M., students may also take courses in Shanghai as part of the University's International Business Law program. Additionally, following the conclusion of both programs graduates may participate in an optional three-week course in New York City to supplement their studies with intensive exposure to legal institutions, thought and practice in the United States.
The inaugural class graduated 39 students from 21 countries in March 2008; the second class includes 55 students from 25 countries.
Graduates from the program are now pursuing a variety of career paths, including employment in prominent local and international law firms in Singapore and other major legal centers such as Shanghai, Dubai, and London. Others have gone on to serve in government or join an NGO, or pursue further studies in doctoral programs.
Due to a generous donation marking the inception of NYU@NUS, we are able to offer a good number of scholarships for students who enroll in the program.
The application deadline is December 1, 2008, for enrollment in May 2009. Further information and application instructions can be found here:

In case it is of interest, you can read a short article that I have published on the globalization of legal education in the Singapore Journal of Legal Studies. The article situates the NYU@NUS program in the context of larger trends in legal pedagogy, and is available from the NYU Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers series here:
