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
