Master of Laws (LL.M.)
DA-SoL offers two modes of the graduate experience, geared towards the student wishing to deepen their understanding of niche areas of law and expertise, as well as for the working professional desirous of keeping abreast of the latest legal developments, providing a capstone to years of knowledge and experience accumulated working in industry. These models are, respectively:
The Regular LL.M. is a 2-year course, offering young professionals and students the opportunity to specialize in 5 industry-relevant, cutting-edge areas of law in a collegiate environment, under the guidance of industry leaders and top-of-the-class academic professionals.
The Regular LL.M. is divided into 4 semesters, as per the DA-SoL academic calendar.
The first year (Semester I & II) is inclusive of full-time intensive study, including 3 Primary/ Bedrock Courses, and 6 electives in niche areas of law the student wishes to pursue.
At the end of Year I, students will go for a compulsory 10-day global tour of legal centers in the EU (Geneva, Paris, Brussels and Hague) to acquire first-hand experience of global legal systems.*
Semester III of the course consists of students completing 4-month internships that the University shall assist in procuring, in pan-Asian and global markets so they may acquire insight and practical knowledge of industries they are to build their futures and careers in.
Semester IV of the course will find the students participating in legal clinics and specialized electives where they may apply the academic and professional knowledge they have acquired over the course of the program, and completing their dissertations as a final mark of their development into full-fledged professionals. Students will also be provided assistance by a placement programme to assist and ensure employment opportunities, either via interface with organizations where internships have been completed in Semester III, or by connecting students with open positions in top companies and firms nationwide and globally.

Apart from the regular LL.M. course for full-time, residential students, we also offer a Blended LL.M. for those looking to keep themselves abreast of latest legal and industry developments.
