Designed for intellectually driven and globally-minded students, the Double Degree Programme in Law and Liberal Arts (DDP) provides students with the best of both worlds­–a rigorous, interdisciplinary legal education in a residential liberal arts setting. The DDP naturally attracts students of the highest calibre who seek to engage multiple disciplines, but who also want to ground their education with professional legal training. The simultaneous academic breadth and depth offered in the DDP would best suit intellectually curious students who are interested in both the fundamental legal underpinnings of society, and the big ideas that have shaped legal thought.

DDP Law at Yale-NUS

DDP students are trained to engage with cross-disciplinary endeavours with a big picture perspective and critical analytical skills applicable in the legal industry and beyond. This especially prepares individuals for careers that require detailed expertise along with an awareness of macro-level developments.

In addition to the core academic programme, DDP students have access to faculty members, resources and opportunities at both Yale-NUS and NUS Law, thus augmenting their avenues for exploration and growth.

Beyond academics and career-related activities, DDP students also enjoy opportunities and freedom to explore their non-academic interests through co-curricular activities and student associations in both institutions.
