Yeah that's the same things I'm hearing from my law friends in
SMU. But to put things in perspective, there was a time when
NTU did not fare well in the international rankings. But in recent years they have been on an upswing. I think international rankings are unfavorable to newer institutions (i.e. Less than 50 years old).

Heard that firms, especially international firms in Singapore, are generally reluctant to take on SMU law students. Very few SMU law students are able to secure training contracts with the top JLV which offers TCs (there is only one JLV which offers TCs in Singapore at present). Could this be because SMU's (lack of) international ranking makes it less desirable to employers?
Generally, the SMU novelty factor has worn off after so many years and firms are looking more at traditional indicators. |
