Graduates’ stories

"I was never sure of what career I wanted to pursue when I first graduated secondary school, but luckily my time studying in Law and Business helped me realize my passion towards law. The Department offered me with various kinds of exposure to the field of law, such as mooting and legal internship experiences. These activities strengthened my soft skills and widened my horizons. For example, my research and writing skills have improved greatly due to the mooting exercises every year. In fact, the Department has always been very supportive to students’ development. I treasure all these invaluable experiences provided as they have equipped me for my further studies in JD (Juris Doctor) and PCLL (Postgraduate Certificate in Law). I am very happy to have been part of the Law and Business family, and I look forward to my legal profession career in the future."

“Graduated in 2016, I have been working in the legal industry for 4 years focusing on SFC Licensing and Compliance. The training in SYU has equipped me with a multitude of skills in both legal and business areas. The moot training laid a solid foundation of my communication and presentation skills. The training in legal research and law subjects improved my analytical and logical reasoning. These skills are essential soft skills needed at work. The law and business background distinct me from other colleagues and eventually I can get around 50% pay increase over the 4 years!”
