Hi there I am contemplating to sign up for UOL external program, on a part time basis. Was told there are four intakes in a year but all students will only sit for exam mid 2017. I asked the counselor if there are any term breaks in between and the answer is no. Is there a semester break or just public holidays observed? And I was also told this is a tough program to do on a part time basis, 4 subjects. Could someone kindly share experience?
Thank you

QUOTE(digitalz @ Jan 8 2016, 06:29 PM) Let's put it this way, I know and have seen people that worked scoring alright for it but it goes down to how you set your time. The part-timers do self-study mostly and the worst I know was only failing 1 sub. Much better than some of the full-timers themselves. It is tough, but not unmanageable. It all boils down to how much time you have, and how you want to study. There's only 1 exam per year, and 1 resit per year. If you fail more than 2 subs, you can only choose to resit 1 paper and wait until the next year to resit the other. That's why some people take longer time to finish. Thanks bro. Your words gave me some confidence to sign up. Lecturers wise, not sure if KL or PJ better. Not sure which branch to sign up with. Any pointers? Next intake is in April. I should start preparing my mind, mentally perhaps.

QUOTE(digitalz @ Jan 10 2016, 10:42 PM) Their lecturers should be the same for both campuses from what I know. No difference in lecturers. You can start by reading the stuff from Internet. UOL had pdf files on the net too. Try going through the first year subs like common law & reasoning, criminal law, public law and contract law. Get a feel of it first. Make notes, as long as you can understand them. Principles from the cases etc. Thanks, digitalz. I tried searching their web for pdf files you referred to, do you mean this? http://www.londoninternational.ac.uk/commu...aws-subject-guiOther references require login and password.

Lotsa references to different books. Do we really have to buy and/or read all those?  Are the books easily found in our bookstores? Questions to all UOL students, how did you managed your study? Care to share some tips? Thank you

QUOTE(digitalz @ Jan 25 2016, 11:44 PM) Lol. Depending on how you want to study. Books - depending on whether you want to get them or not too. I believe BAC has a good collection of books in the library. If you can't get them in KL, find them in the PJ campus. Read, read, and continue reading. But then, different people will have different study methods. Makes notes, principles of the cases, facts of the cases etc etc. I know some people that can memorise well but cannot really apply the law, some can just do it easily. Study hard and smart. Not study hard only. I find it interesting in the sense that there would be loads of new things to learn. But I'm still in a haze, worried that I might not be able to cope with the amount of reading required. Learning about politics, an area which I do not have interest in at the moment, might be just as challenging. I shall continue to explore. Thank you again bro!
