Lets say we have a degree in accounting or ACCA, will we be exempted from any papers? What is the best route to obtaining a law degree from there?

I doubt there will be any outright exemptions from any universities for an accounting grad coz there is little substantive overlap in the syllabuses of the two.

Nevertheless, you may consider the graduate entry route which allows you to save up to one year, though I wouldn't consider it an exemption per se. I think a degree in any field allows you to enrol for the GER (check with the uni requirements), which is primarily meant for those who do not wish to practice. But if you intend to practice, the graduate entry route is not one you should embark on. Simply put, it may not have certain core subjects required by the relevant board for recognition and is not of the required duration.

Also note that the ACCA may not be recognised as a degree by the university but a professional qualification. Though some unis may consider the ACCA as a degree equivalent, it is best you check with your target choice before embarking on any applications.

I think that the English word is kinda obvious so further explanation is not warranted.

Perhaps the BM translation would be of some help

everybody has their own studying styles. some like to make short notes which they can carry around and whip it out during any free time to read.

Some prefer charts and graphs.

Some likes to read chunks of material.

What i'm trying to say is that it would depend on an individual.

However, at the end of the day, there's lots of memory work involved. Even more so when it comes to CLP examinations.

I think textbooks are still provided by Uni of London. Part of your registration. ATC will provide their usual notes upon registration, and revision guides in march.

You don't need to know anything, just how to get there, where to makan, and which toilet is under renovation.

In addition to the textbooks by UoL, they will also provide you with statute books now depending on the subject. Depending on fast you settle payment, books usually arrive 2 weeks after.

Because you get 2 degrees? You should ask those who selected the combine degree option.

You must understand how entry into the legal profession works.

First you must be a qualified person for purposes of s.3. Then, you must satisfy the additional requirements under s.11. exemption from Pupillage falls under s.12.

In other works, you will have to comply with the pupillage requirement whether or not you have done pupillage overseas. You may qualify for exemption under s.13 up to 6 months but that is at the discretion of the Bar Council. As far as I am aware, a practice of 5 years overseas will get you 6 months exemption.

Your primary source of information should be the Qualifying Board.Contact them.

Their contact is at the 1st thread.

My information may be outdated but as far as I am aware, there is no minimum requirement of a 2nd class degree for other Unis but for UOL.
