Leveraging on its existing strengths in business and finance, and the SMU brand of education that serves a select, smaller cohort of students, the university is offering a four-year single law degree and a five-year double degree programme that stand apart in several ways. SMU law undergraduates will pursue a rigorous legal curriculum that trains them to have a contextualised and practice-oriented understanding of the workings of the business world. The school will admit 90 students in its first cohort for the Academic Year starting August 2007.

"With Singapore poised to become a global city, SMU looks forward to playing our role in redefining the pedagogy that is most relevant to the socio-economic needs."
- Professor Howard Hunter,
President of SMU
