Law degrees abroad
Study law where school-leavers enter it directly — then carry a qualification that common-law countries from Colombo to Singapore read as their own.
Why study law abroad
Law abroad holds a structural appeal for students from Sri Lanka, India, Singapore and the Gulf: the UK and Australia admit school-leavers directly into the LLB — no rationed national entrance exam, no graduate-entry detour — and the degree lands in the same common-law tradition your home legal system runs on. English case law is the shared ancestor of Sri Lankan, Indian, Singaporean and much Gulf commercial law, which is why a UK LLB has been the region's portable legal credential for a century.
Entry is essay-driven rather than subject-specific: universities want strong grades and evidence of argument, not A-Level Law. The serious questions come after the degree — qualifying routes differ by country, and a graduate returning home or aiming at international practice needs the sequence planned early. That's a solvable planning problem, not a barrier, and it's exactly the conversation to have before choosing programmes rather than after.

Frequently asked questions
Studying law abroad — what students ask us most.
Can I practise at home with a law degree from abroad?
Usually yes, via each country's recognition route: Sri Lanka admits foreign law graduates through Law College's qualifying process; India recognises degrees from approved foreign universities with Bar Council formalities; Singapore maintains a scheduled list of approved UK and Australian law schools — which makes checking that list before enrolment essential for Singaporean students. Rules evolve and details differ, so verify the current route for your country and shortlist; our counsellors do this check with every law applicant.
Do I need A-Level Law or a specific subject combination for an LLB?
No. Law schools ask for strong overall grades — competitive UK programmes want the equivalent of AAB–A*AA — and prize essay-writing subjects like history, English or economics as evidence you can build arguments, but no specific subject is required. Some universities use the LNAT admissions test; strong applicants from any stream, including sciences, are welcome. What matters is demonstrated reading, writing and reasoning, which the personal statement must show.
UK or Australia for law — how do I choose?
Both are direct-entry, common-law, well-recognised routes; the differences are practical. The UK's LLB runs three years, carries the deepest brand recognition in South Asian and Gulf legal markets, and feeds London's international firms. Australia's routes run longer but pair with generous post-study work rights and strong Asia-Pacific firm networks — and its February intake suits Sri Lankan and Singaporean calendars. Decide by where you want to qualify and practise first; the degree location should serve that answer.
What does the placement service cost?
A flat SGD 50, billed as two monthly instalments of SGD 25. That covers everything: counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer. There are no hidden extras, no agent fees and no commission on your tuition, because our counselling is funded by our university partners, the SGD 50 only covers administration. Separately, you pay the university’s own tuition or semester fees directly to the university after you accept your offer.
What exactly do you help with?
Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.
Which universities can you place me into?
We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated SGD 50 placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.
