Publication: Berita Harian Date: 6 January 2007 Headline: SMU's new school offers 90 places for commercial and corporate law
The newest school at the Singapore Management University, the School of Law, will offer 90 places to students interested in gaining a deeper understanding of commercial and corporate law.
Starting August 2007, in conjunction with the new academic year, the programme can be taken on its own, or combined with other disciplines offered by SMU.
The single degree programme takes up to four years, while the doubledegree programme takes up to five years to complete.
Presenting details of the new Law School yesterday, SMU President, Professor Howard Hunter, said that the opening of the School will add to the competition in the education landscape here.
To date, the National University of Singapore (NUS) is the only university offering a law degree programme.
"The different pedagogy which we adopt in SMU will be continued in the Law School. This includes small class sizes, whereby students become active participants in their own education.
"This programme will incorporate the learning and understanding of corporate and commercial law practices according to local contexts", he said.
Explaining in greater detail, Interim Dean of the School, Associate Professor Low Kee Yang mentioned that students would need to take up 36 courses, which comprises three sections - compulsory law core courses, law electives and non-law courses.
These courses include Commercial Conflict of Laws, Economic Analysis of Law, Corporate Law, Tax law, Financial and Securities Regulation, as well as Ethics and Social Responsibility.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to participate in a 10-week internship programme at a law firm or governmental legal agency, to gain practical learning experience.
The higher than usual non-law courses that are on offer, aims to produce more holistic law graduates.
