Praveen Randhawa (Ms), Director, Corporate Communications, Ministry of Law says:
The National University of Singapore enrols about 240 students for its undergraduate law programme while the Singapore Management University enrols about 180 students.
Their graduates generally have no problem securing training contracts in local law firms.
Surveys conducted between 2011 and last year [2015] showed that 99 per cent of local law graduates obtained employment within six months of graduation. (Notwithstanding this, the ability of law firms to employ students will obviously depend on market conditions.)
In addition, many Singaporeans study law overseas. These numbers are not controlled by the Government and increased sharply to around 310 last year. During this period,
only around 70 per cent of overseas-trained graduates managed to secure training contracts, let alone employment.
