- The Juris Doctor (JD) degree is a graduate law degree that may lead to qualification for the practice of law in Singapore.
- At NUS, you may select from one of two JD programmes:
- a 2-year single graduate degree programme for candidates holding a basic law degree from another jurisdiction; or
- a 3-year single graduate degree programme for candidates holding a non-law degree.
- The 3-year JD will replace the Graduate LLB (GLB) programme, and it can be completed in 2.5 years in exceptional circumstances.
- The compulsory modules aim to:
- give an understanding of the basic law modules and general principles;
- provide training in the basic skills essential for every lawyer, including analysis, research, writing, advocacy and problem-solving;
- and give an appreciation of the role of law and lawyers in their own society and in the global community to better equip a lawyer to deal with the challenges of globalisation.
