The National University of Singapore’s law faculty will be shortlisting more students for the admission test and interview for its Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme.

Starting this year, students from the top 5 per cent of the cohort at any of the junior colleges or Millennia Institute will be eligible for shortlisting to take the test and to attend the interview. This will be determined by their results in the A-level exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma exams or equivalent.

The pilot programme is expected to add about 50 students to the shortlist each year, with those from schools with lower representation in the law faculty being the target.

The faculty is also looking to smooth the transition for transfer students from other degree courses in NUS by allowing their first-year modules in a different subject to be counted towards their four years in law school.
