Of course UM offers higher quality education than that of such private universities! UM is the best law school in Malaysia! It is ranked 151-200th in the world, UKM is ranked 201-250th in the world, whereas the other Malaysian law schools are unranked.

Generally, law firms prefer law graduates with CLP only if they graduate from one of the top universities on the list I've posted. This means universities like the ANU, UniMelb, USyd, and UNSW from Australia and Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, and KCL from the UK. Otherwise, save your money and just do your law degree in UM.

I am now at a top-tier law firm because I graduated with first class honours from one of the Australian universities listed above, but there are plenty of UM graduates here as well.

I am a Western Australian lawyer. Honestly, if you are trying to work as a lawyer in Australia, you should get a law degree from one of the Group of 8 ... and if I'm being brutal, just one from the top 4 law schools (ANU, Melbourne, USyd and UNSW). It is very hard to work in Australia as a lawyer with a degree earned locally.

Universiti Malaya is not globally recognised. The UoL program is supposedly recognised worldwide but is too common and is not prestigious because the entry requirements are so low. If you want to work abroad, please consider these options:

Australia
ANU
Melbourne
USyd
UNSW

UK
Oxford
Cambridge
LSE
UCL
KCL

These are the best law school options for a good career as a barrister and/or solicitor. All the best!

If you intend on working in Malaysia, sure. It's a good deal because it's cheap. But make sure you do well in your law degree so that you can compete with those who graduated from good overseas unis and good local unis like UM and UKM.
