um.. hi guys, UOL's August intake and Sept intake, do the students graduate at the same time assuming that they finish their courses within the 3 years' time?

No difference actually. All exams will be in May. Also, if you are comparing BAC and ATC, BAC starts later compared to ATC. Some colleges start Sept, some Aug. smile.gif

Hey, thanks!

now then..

is it worth saving the 100k instead of going for UKT? and can a UOL external graduate be eligible for BPTC?

Actually you can. But you'd need to take EU law. Still, it'd be better if you can double confirm with BAC themselves.

Also, to be honest, UOL isn't as easy as one expects. It's one of the hardest law programs. That's why BAC offers UKT to students from UOL.

could you please explain more on that? I thought UOL must be completed totally within UOL's external programme by itself?

What I mean is, some people find UOL too tough to handle, so they transferred to UKT program. Due to UOL's strict standards, they can be transferred to the UKT program but not the other way round.

so we could do two years of UOL and opt for UKT on third?

1. It's worthy, if you value experience more.

2. In order to become eligible for BPTC,  students are required to take EU law and one more module(I forgot the name but it involves thesis and viva).
*
thanks! That other module being also an elective subject?

As per the latest details on the bsb website.

EU law is a must.

If I were to say take the required modules during my LLB, and decide to take CLP to practice in Malaysia for the first 10 years. Will I still be eligible to go for the BPTC in UK after that?

Laws change. Therefore, I can't answer you on that until at least 8 years later to be honest with you. Also, obtaining BPTC doesn't mean that you can practice there. Without a working permit or a PR, you cannot do it there too. BPTC is just like a shortcut just like the Australian Bar where some students skip CLP for the sake of it. Some international companies/banks don't really care if you are called or not, but it would be easier for you if you wanna practice later after getting BPTC/CLP/Australian Bar.
*
So in a way, students who go for UKT or BPTC are merely trying to avoid CLP in order to practice law in Malaysia? blink.gif

Not really. UKT doesn't mean that you can avoid taking CLP unless you take up BPTC. I have friends that came back to take CLP after a year or two there.

any advice for someone who is starting classes next week into UOL? smile.gif

1st year? Enjoy it. Pass it all at least with higher marks. Year 2 and Year 3 will be seriously tougher. But then, if you can afford it, UKT is good for those that can enjoy it.

Well, as it turns out my family can pay for it, but I feel that we just can't afford it, nor would I be comfortable spending my parents' retirement money when either of the two options get me from point A to point B. I find the reason of "just going there for the experience" or "the exams are easier (in the case of studying the first x years here in BAC or ATC) not extremely completely justifiable to spend off 90~120k in a matter of 11 to 12 months. I apologize if I am offending any fellow UKT students here, I'm probably just jealous and lightly upset that many of my friends are flying off to UK (be it for law, business, other studies) this coming September. sweat.gif

Anyway, I am being led to believe by other UOL course takers (although they're not taking LL.B, they're from other fields) that all papers, not caring if they're for intermediate, part 1 or part 2 of the whole degree course have almost the same difficulty level, is this not true?

Intermediate is not as hard, I passed Common law and Contract without going to any lecture, Part 1 and Part 2 will get more hectic and bulky, like really hectic.

There are about 200 students each intake, so come early, and get a seat in front.

Duly noted on the coming earlier thingy, thanks! Won't take year 1 easily!

QUOTE(digitalz @ Aug 31 2014, 12:23 PM)
It is true. But then, some in the legal field told me that it's from the intermediate levels that you can begin to gauge your levels. If for the 1st year, you barely scrap through it, it will be harder and harder if one don't "up" their own levels.

Although some people might tell you to take it easy for the 1st year since you'd only need a pass but then, in order to see where you stand in UOL's exams, don't aim for only a pass, aim higher.

so wait a minute, do the marks of our first year count into the aggregate of our total marks which in the end defines whether we'd get 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 etc?
