Who said anything about whether
NUS was better than UK? the point that was made is that it is far easier to get a FCH or 2.1 in law in the UK compared to
NUS (and
SMU). Whether or not other countries accept an
NUS degree (they don't) is a completely different matter altogether.
And why are we talking about MNCs/CSs in a thread that focuses on qualifying as lawyers in Singapore? Where Singapore law firms are concerned, it is quite clear that there is a (slight) bias towards local grads, but IMO this bias may be made up for by the fact that it is easier to get better grades in the UK. So a 2.2 in
NUS may in fact be disadvantaged because there is a good chance that he could have gotten 2.1 in Bristol/Nottingham or even UCL/KCL. Plus the fact that it is very possible to get a UK TC if one graduates from a UK uni, which is near impossible to get if one graduates from
NUS/
SMU, means that going to a reputable UK uni may be the best option if one can afford it.
