Hi all sifus

I am from accounting and finance background and currently working as a corporate advisory in a boutique advisory firm.

I'm now considering to enroll in the part-time course of either BoJ (external course in UM) or LLB of UoL (most likely will enroll the classes in BAC). I understand the course structure or modules are different for both of the courses. So I would like to have some feedback from you guys before I make my decision.

1) I understand that the BoJ is mainly based on Malaysian Law and UoL is based on U.K. Law. But when come to looking for a job after the graduation, does the candidate with the LLB of UoL have the advantage compare to the BoJ? As I heard from some practitioners that practice in U.K Law always has the advantage.

2) Is the requirement of admission to the CLP is to have at least second upper for the LLB of UoL (external course)? or even with a second lower LLB is more than enough?

3) Is it possible to do the UoL LLB (external course) purely by self-study? Or I should say, is it doable? Because I'm actually done the self-study on CFA and ACCA but I'm not sure whether it is the same thing for this course or it is a different ball game.

4) I'm turning 25 this year and I assume to get the CLP by age 29. Is it a little too old for me to start as the pupilage? I understand there is no age restriction on this. But I'm not sure whether in the field is there any norm in age discrimination.

Thank you in advance and in a meanwhile, I will continue my research on this matter in order to make a wise choice. Cheers!
