Message from the Dean

“The 21st century is a time of rapid change and extraordinary challenges. Globalisation has dramatically altered our lives and continues to shape them with significant impact on the economy, people and politics. Fast expanding digitalisation and relentless technological advances have only aided and exacerbated these changes. These changes have enormous ramifications for our laws and legal practice. Here at the Yong Pung How School of Law, our mission is to educate future-ready lawyers and professionals who will thrive in the midst of this legal evolution. Designed with that end in mind, our Master of Laws programme comprises four specialised tracks that seek to equip students with the competencies and perspective most pertinent to a global and digital economy. Students on this programme will be taught by our distinguished and experienced faculty members and visiting professors from diverse backgrounds. They will also have opportunities to interact with industry partners and renowned institutions that are intimately involved in shaping the laws of tomorrow.

I look forward to welcoming you to the SMU Yong Pung How School of Law.”
