Course overview
Gain practical insights as well as theoretical knowledge in legal technology with a Master of Science Legal Technology at LSBF Singapore. The postgraduate programme is awarded by The University of Law in the UK, rated five stars by QS World University Rankings.
All Master of Laws programmes will enable students to gain practical insights as well as theoretical knowledge in specialised areas of law. Upon completion of one of the Master of Law programmes, students will be able to successfully tackle complex legal issues arising from practical scenarios, provide competent legal advice to fictional clients and critically evaluate the principles of law covered by the programme.
The University of Law recognises that a number of Master of Laws programme students will be from non-common law jurisdictions. Therefore, a comprehensive induction programme will form part of the first two weeks of study, covering the key principles of the common law system. This will be made available to all students. The full induction programme will be available both face to face and online.
In particular, the aims are as follows:
- To develop a systematic understanding of the law and practice on the part of learners, and a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights, at the forefront of the areas, studied.
- To enhance learners’ intellectual, transferable and interpersonal skills as well as developing postgraduate skills such as the demonstration of initiative and autonomy in planning and implementing tasks at a professional level.
- To provide learners with a programme of study that enhances their prospects of legally related professional, commercial, business, or academic employment.
- To provide flexibility in delivery modes to increase learner access to the LLM.
