Overview
The Double Degree Programme in Business
Administration and Law is a prestigious five-year programme offered
jointly by the School of Business and the
Faculty of Law. The programme is established in line with NUS' aim of attracting
the best students from Singapore and around the world, keen on having
a quality education and leveraging on inter-disciplinary opportunities
in a university ranked amongst the world's best.
"This
double honours BBA-LLB degree is a very good idea and is indeed
long overdue. The legal profession service today is not just
about telling clients what the law is, but is also understanding
the client and what they do in order to advise the client
and offer them tailor-made solutions. As such, lawyers need
to better understand and be closely tied with business, whether
it's in finance, real estate, healthcare, intellectual property,
venture capital, or even accounting. Knowledge of business
and finance does give one a competitive edge. Given the complexity
of the legal and commercial environment, I believe that graduates
with training in both business and law will indeed be very
much sought after." |

"As
an employer committed to developing world-class talent, we
welcome the initiative by NUS Business School to offer double-degree
honours courses which gives students training in two disciplines
within a shorter period of time. Business and law are two
important areas of expertise in financial services, and having
graduates with qualifications in both will be a definite advantage." |
