Immersion
International Immersion
BMU’s collaboration with world-class international universities helps students of the School of Law to understand the theory and practice of law from a global perspective. This unique immersion program provides our students with a holistic understanding of how economic, social, political, and cultural forces impact the study and practice of law worldwide.
Duke
Considered to be one of the very best law schools in the United States Duke School of Law prides itself on providing leadership at the national and international levels through teaching, research, and other forms of public service. Under this collaboration, BMU students will be nominated to Duke’s innovative summer academies in the United States and the Netherlands and can attend those programs at a significant discount. Duke and BMU have also agreed on a research exchange program where faculty may visit the other institution. BMU will submit recommendations for their best and most compatible students for Duke’s LLM program, preparing students for US legal practice. Unlike most LLM programs, students admitted to Duke’s top-ranked program are eligible for financial aid as determined by Duke.
Syracuse
Syracuse College of Law is a prestigious law school where President Joe Biden received his law degree. Under this agreement—the first of its kind between Syracuse and an Indian law school—selected students from BMU can study for a semester in Syracuse without having to pay additional tuition, saving over Rs. 20 lakhs for BMU students. BMU students will also be able to save similar sums on Syracuse’s LL.M. program. They will even be eligible to receive a US LL.M. in only one semester after completing their Indian degrees. Syracuse offers BMU students substantially discounted tuition to their unique two-year Juris Doctor program, which puts foreign students on par with US students for legal practice in the US, as well as summer programs that build students’ English language lawyering skills.
Pittsburgh
A law school with over 120 years of history, Pittsburgh School of Law provides world-class legal education in health law, international commercial law, intellectual property, and innovation law. BMU law students have priority access to this top-ranked US law program at a significant discount, allowing them to complete their degrees for a fraction of what students at other Indian law schools can offer for their students studying abroad. BMU Law is Pittsburgh School of Law’s only Indian partnership.
Others
BMU School of Law also has agreements for priority admission and discounted tuition for BMU students in international summer immersion programs. BMU Law Students are eligible for 10% discounts on tuition for courses in the London School of Economics’ summer program (covering issues of UK, European, and international law), 20% discounts on tuition at Fordham University’s three-week Summer Institute (covering issues on US law and legal skill building), up to 50% discounts on tuition for Syracuse University’s six-week English and lawyering skills program, created to train students in international legal practice, and 50% discounts at Duke Law School’s summer programs in the United States and the Netherlands.
