By Average Gross Monthly Salary (in brackets are the 75th-percentile salaries)
NUS Bachelor of Laws – $5,263 ($5,840)
SMU Law (4-years programme) Cum Laude and above – $5,256 ($6,000)
SMU Law (4-years programme) – $4,856 ($5,600)
By Permanent Employment Rate (in brackets are the median salaries)
NUS Bachelor of Laws – 92.6% ($5,500)
SMU Law (4-years programme) Cum Laude and above – 92.6% ($5,513)
SMU Law (4-years programme) – 90.8% ($4,500)
the stats for
nus law are not broken up into honours classification. So it's not a right comparison to say $5500 vs $4500
