On a side note, who knows when UoL will send our official transcripts to Malaysia? Do I have to request for one or they will send it to me once I have completed my studies?
*

As I am currently studying in UK, I don't think I will receive notifications from them and PTPTN is already asking me to start paying them back.

I was told that the certificate will be sent to Lembaga around December but I am quite clueless now as to its whereabouts.

I thought you needed the transcripts in the first for you to transfer?? credit transfer?

I completed my degree with UoL before I come to UK for BPTC.
Hence the mess.

My college said they will help me to apply for exemption but I will first need to pass them the official transcript once I receives them.
*
May be you can use your current BPTC transcripts to defer it further. Have you tried?

Yes, provided you have completed your 2 years training contract in UK beforehand. I could be wrong. The difficulties involved in securing a training contract often deter students to go for BPTC instead of LPC.

Yes, LPQB recognises the UK solicitiors authoritative body for Solicitors Regulation Authority. Link Here

Hey guys, I'm currently in my final year of llb in local uni. And I'm actually more interested to further for Master in UK. So anyone here knows how can I do that? I mean, for starter, I should take IELTS right?

Thanks in advance for helping.

I would rather suggest you to call them up instead. You never know when they check their email.

I'll keep dat in mind when I apply for Singaporean uni. law course~ Thx~  tongue.gif

It only applies to SMU not NUS. And there are only two public university recognised in singpore for their respective llb course. If you do law degree from other public/private uni, you will not be able to practice in singapore bar (however there are certain exemption to this rule).

In malaysia, only NUS law degree is recognised.

That's external paper.

I'm talking about the undergraduate program for UM's law, specifically this one.

I'm not saying you can't.

As long as you fulfill the requirement stated by the LPQB, no reason for you not to be called up.

Don't get me wrong. It was not stated on the BoJ site, that once you've completed your clp you can move your call.

I don't really know about local uni procedures.

anyways, thank you. biggrin.gif

BoJ is technically an external program, it's only affiliated with UM by name, IIRC.

Anyways, if you read the links given, I think no problem understanding clearly what you need to do smile.gif
*
the confusion lies in the link that you gave, for um degree, its says you can be a lawyer.

for boj, paralegal, legal assisstant...

Most large firms are based in Kl anyways.

Pretty hard to find a spot for pupilage in smaller towns actually.

But yeah, if you have some "network" to make a fast track partnership, no reason to actually work in KL when everything is getting more and more expensive.  sweat.gif

I second this. It's true. Even with basic pay for a 'chambie' in KL (top tier firms) is about RM1800++, but the living costs involved is also equally high.
