HI all, i need some advice.
University of Hertfordshire or Northumbria University?
I'm doing my final year in UK next month and comparing which uni are better in my choices. University of Hertfordshire 's ranking is better that Northumbria University, i know that universities ranking sometimes might not truly reflect the "real-life" situation.

Hi guys, I am a student going to face SPM soon in just a month's time and would like to have more insight , studying law in Malaysia, because of my low scores in various subjects and just barely passed alot of them. Despite all this I am really interested in law since when I am younger. But my friends and family are not that encouraging because I am not as good as the other students in my 'Prestigious' school. I am really lost now and have no other aim except studying law. Can I do well in law if I didnt do well in school. Alot of these questions are buzzing me. What subject should I focus on in school to study law or just focus on getting straight As eventhough it is irrelevant to what i really wanted to do. Do I just follow like everyone's else footsteps? I dont even know if this is relevant to the topic here......

IF you plan to take A level , take law as one of your subject and decide if law suits you .I have lots of friends who dint do well in spm , obtain good results when they start their degree .Law degree is a great degree as it opens door to looks of opportunity so its worth considering it. in terms of subject , its definitely English(in my opinion) . Dont get discourage by others , atleast you know what you want . all the best in your SPM . cheers

People who have done law twinning programmes, how do you find it? How would you compare it with the UOL LLB that your peers are taking?

Hello, I'm currently doing my CLP as well. Not sure whether it's true, I was told that the texts(besides evidence) that are currently available in bookstores are not up to date to our current law. Maybe you could stick to your lecturer's materials if they do keep track to the latest updates?

Just buy the book if it makes your life a lot easier. If you're going into practice, you'll be spending a lot on books anyway.

If you are doing your CLP at Brickfields, I probably know who are you referring to. However, speaking from experience, you dont need extra textbooks. The study materials given the college will be sufficient.
