Hi
I am 69 years old and am interested in a Doctor of Law degree (phD) through this program.
I have been a corporate Finance professional involved in restructuring and international finance but I am now semi-retired.
I am currently attending the LLM program with one online residency module and the International Trade /Law of the sea module to complete both in January / February 2024, after which is my focus on the LLM required dissertation at which time I hope to be approved on a proposed corporate Governance comparative study paper between that of China and of Singapore.
Along the same line of continuation in research. I hope to extend and expand my legal studies on key corporate governance issues between China and that of Europe whereby, I hope my contribution in the academia could bring nations together through better appreciation of legal structures understandings so to bring resolvements of differences for the benefit of future generations. A Doctoral research program in law would be appropriate through my business and professional contacts in China and other parts of Asia.
I hope to be accepted for this challenging program but beneficial and contributory to self and nations for the sake of global understandings, appreciation of culture and legal systems towards prosperity for all.
With Best Regards
Dr. Philip Tan

Mny tks Sahil
A blessed 2024 ahead to you and All.
I hope to continue with the PhD law after my LLM here at RKC n Salford Uni.
I believe in continuing education especially when one can still contribute to society n the Academia at my age, recognising I would b enrolling to the program after I hit 70 ( Sep 24) but the research program would b for my contribution to legal progress in Asia with Europe. The process is a discipline n it would b an encouragement to all senior yo continue to contribute to knowledge .
Thank you
Hi Philip,
Wish you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year! I wish you all the best with your LLM programme, and I look forward to you continuing with the PhD programme afterwards.
Hi Sahil
I should be submitting my LLM thesis end of 30 November 24
I hope to continue with the phd law after that starting with the advanced research program..
Two questions I have ; when would the result of the LLM thesis be out and when then I could begin the advanced research if I was considered for the program .
As I m expected to travel in the month of December to China n then to Japan on business meetings I m trying to fit the study within the research tutorial classes so to have uninterrupted study.
My first encounter through the LLM here at RKC has taught me quite a bit on time management, but I have managed to overcome it and should submit the thesis before deadline. Thankfully I also have a good Supervisor🙏
Hope to hear from you soon so I can do some planning ?
Regards
Philip Tan .
