| SMU LAUNCHES LLM (MASTER OF LAWS) PROGRAMME SMU has launched a new SMU LLM (Master of Laws) by coursework programme. The 12-month modular programme is designed to equip legal practitioners with the skills and knowledge to meet the changing needs of an increasingly complex global market. The programme comprises specialisations in three niche areas: Commercial Law, Dispute Resolution and Islamic Law and Finance. Said Director of the LLM Programme, Associate Professor Low Kee Yang: “As a young, vibrant and innovative university in the heart of Asia, we are pleased to introduce a programme that will be extremely relevant to participants who already have significant law practice experience. The practical aspects of this programme will provide them with valuable insights into how business organisations operate and strategise.” The SMU LLM in Islamic Law and Finance is the only course available in Singapore and one of the few specialised programmes in the world to provide an opportunity for postgraduate law students to acquire knowledge and expertise in this burgeoning area. Said Associate Professor Andrew White, who will lead the specialisation in Islamic Law and Finance: “With the growing prominence of Islamic finance in this part of the world, it is important for key players to have a good grasp of the laws governing Shari’ah compliant finance, which is based on the key operating economic principles of justice, fair distribution and risk-sharing found within Islamic law.” Participants will also take two prescribed courses – Business, Strategy and Organisation (BSO) and Overseas Study Mission to equip them with the skills and mindset to understand their clients better. |
