Overview
This double degree programme in Law and Liberal
Arts is an innovative program offered jointly by Yale-NUS College
and NUS Law for those seeking a broad liberal arts education in
addition to their professional training in the law. The five-year
honours programme was established by Yale-NUS College and NUS with
the aim of attracting students of the highest calibre from Singapore
and around the world. This programme will provide an
interdisciplinary legal education in a residential, liberal arts
setting. Up to 25 students will be admitted into this prestigious
programme each year. Students who have met the graduation criteria
will be awarded a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) degree from Yale-NUS
College and a Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) degree from the NUS
Law.
Students are required to be resident at Yale-NUS College for the
first four years of the program. At this dedicated campus they will
participate fully in the Yale-NUS community and enjoy the benefits
of residential college life. In their first year of study they will
take Yale-NUS Common Curriculum courses and a Law elective in the
first Special Term of the Summer. In the second, third and fourth
years students will complete the Yale-NUS Common Curriculum, take
Yale-NUS electives, and take core and elective Law courses. For Law
classes, students travel to the Bukit Timah Campus (BTC), where the
Faculty of Law is located. Students are also eligible to participate
in a semester of an exchange programme abroad. In the fifth year,
students will move out of the Yale-NUS College residential college
and continue with their academic pursuits at BTC. Students will also
complete a capstone project in their fifth year, which entails a
research and writing project in a topic that combines Law and the
Liberal Arts.
