QUOTE(jhong @ Aug 19 2009, 12:22 AM) Lolx..i think there's some communication problems between you and Xzilled . Is there any Black and white saying MMU law is exempted from CLP?Haha...anyway, MMU law degree holder is recognised under MQA and get exempted from CLP now. So, job prospects wise is depends on their performance ? The first badge was out, pending on those law firm's view la. I am nobody to judge MMU law graduates. I think as long as the degree is recognised in Malaysia and it fullfilled the entry requirement. I can see no reason why MMU law graduates cannot further their post graduate studies in UM , a famous university in accordance to you. Dont worry about that. hahax.... All i read is RUMOURS which is dangerous. Link from MMU http://www.mmu.edu.my/fbl/ can any senior clarify this issue? |

Refer to:this is not insufficient. is UNOFFICIAL sos. there are no statement from MMU , Bar Council and etc Notification Under Section 3 - P.U.(B) 119/2009 Act 166 - Legal Profession Act 1976 You'll find that to be a lot more reliable than a statement issued by MMU, Bar Council, etc combined. |

dear schizoprenic,
I am currently considering of taking up a degree in law in brickfileds, the external programme whcih will take 3 years, and i would like to know what you think. I already have a degree in Psychology, a twinning programme with Help which i have spent my last year in australia and graduated in 2001. Ive been working for about 2 and half year now, mainly in the Hr field (1 year spent working with Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill). My reasons for going back to studies.. i feel like making a chnage in my career, thought of doing a masters programme, but really not sure of what course to take. My bro is currently doing law in brickfields, i have read some of his books and i think im quite interested with this subject. my hesitations? to start all over again, going back to college for 3 years, and would i need to start all over again in career wise, plus of course this is not an easy course or path to take. basically, what do you think? thanks for your help  |

QUOTE(yenyen @ Aug 28 2009, 12:43 AM) yeah probably well, it would be good for you to attend the first few classes to see whether reading law is what you want to do...you dun have to pay or register till about a mth after i think... maybe i need more encouragement to be braver in making this decision.. part time.. how long would it take? 3 years also i think very long dy hehe,, if you wanna pursue the uol external llb, there are a number of schemes you can choose from that determine how many subjects you wanna do in a year, and the duration...i dun recommend the graduate entry route coz you cant practice, unless you're sure you don't want to do so in the future... doing the uol llb part time is a good idea, but it gets really hectic during exam periods since everything boils down to those few weeks before the exams...but alot of students do it, especially in HK and alot in SG, so i dun see why it cant be done... im currently considering a career switch myself from accountancy to law...
