What should an engineering student do to become a patent lawyer in Singapore? -

I am a final year Bioengineering student with a minor in Business. I am really interested in becoming a patent attorney in Singapore. For your information, I am an international student, but can apply for Singapore PR upom employment. Do I really need a law degree to become a patent attorney? Is there any difference between patent agent and patent attorney? Where should I search for job openings as a trainee patent attorney? Thank you very much. =)

A universal requirement of a patent attorney is having a law degree from an accredited law school anywhere in the world. A patent examiner can get by with a mere engineering degree with some courses in patents as needed.
