I'm not so sure if QS world rankings are of any value at all... we presumably choose our law schools based on the career prospects for graduates of each school, and I'd say there shouldn't be much difference between NUS and SMU (not too sure about SUSS).

Regarding the rankings of international schools, it's such a joke... in America Yale is no.1 and Harvard is a significant distant no.3, while on QS the numbers are flipped. And the T14 schools in America practically send more than half of their graduates to jobs that pay 190k USD a year, but the rankings of their schools are below that of Chinese and even Singaporean universities where the median graduate makes maybe 60k a year.

Same goes for UK grads from "delisted" universities, a decent chunk of them make it to magic circle and silver circle firms, opportunities that are only available to the top graduates of NUS/SMU.

Part b results - anyone excited?

Oh please my dears. Stop the legacy as to which university belongs to the bottom pile. It all builds back to that graduate how capable that person is. Not forgetting how the so called NUS kids working as DPPs, getting trashed by not just Judges but also Defence for submitting either wrongly interpreted Cases or just plain stupid arguments. There is no end to the NUS, SMU, SUSS, External Uni debate. Blame it on the Uni's graduates who WAS the ONLY approved uni back then who failed to keep the amount of candidates in the legal system in good shape. It is also that uni's graduates fault for allowing the mess we are seeing today.

Your English is atrocious. Which delisted uni did you graduate from?

I thought most DPPs all foreign uni cause all PSC scholars?

Is this forum only frequented by students? Debates over universities are so last year. This is a salary forum; please stick to salaries and general bitching about life in the legal industry.

Your life only destroyed if because of legal training your gf/bf break up with you.
Other than that despicable scenario, you’ll be fine

Lame and highly beta thinking. No life is "destroyed" just because your gf left you. The best revenge is to bang 5 hot but vapid girls and make sure your ex knows about it.
