NUS Faculty of Law

The Faculty of Law is part of the National University of Singapore (NUS), the oldest tertiary institution in Singapore. NUS traces its rich history to the founding of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Government Medical School in 1905.  

The strength of the NUS Law curriculum lies in the broad and diverse range of subjects it offers. In addition to a rigorous core curriculum, students can choose electives in areas ranging from Asian legal studies to banking and finance, from public international law to intellectual property, or from arbitration to jurisprudence. The aim is to provide a liberal education that enables our graduates to think critically and creatively, as globally-oriented lawyers with a strong sense of their role in society.

Global, regional, and uniquely Singaporean perspectives on legal issues are all evident in the research produced by our faculty. 

Singapore is an ideal place to study or research law, with excellent facilities and infrastructure, cutting edge legal work, and exceptional faculty and students. Singapore epitomizes all that is best in Asia, seamlessly blending old world charm with new age technology. It enjoys a geographical advantage as a natural meeting point between East and West and a perfect entry point to visit and explore Asia.
