Do Alevel, it's not that i look down on STPM students, it's just that if you have the opportunity to make your education background prettier in your resume, why not ?

Moreover people you know when you are studying in Alevel is different provided that you choose the correct local or overseas private university.

hello, any help students here? i wish to transfer to cardiff at my 2nd year of law degree(from Help uni). What are the minimum requirements of first year? Do they require for Alevel result? I really need an informative answer. Thanks.

I think you need 50% minimum for first year. They look at your A-levels results as well. Best check with your head of department. I'm from BAC and we do not need A levels to transfer

You'll need an average of minimum 50% in your first year only but I dont think they'll take A-levels result into account though:)

It is best that you reach Cardiff on time so that you wont be missing out any induction programs offered by them. Importantly, you will be required to sit for their English test during the first few days of the induction programs and if you failed to reach their expectation, you'll then be called to attend their English course.

Bear in mind for second year transfer, you'll have to take 5 subjects in order to fulfill 120credit hours as its compulsory to take Tort at 20credits. If you think you cant cope with 5 subjects, perhaps it'd be great for you to ask if the same applies to some other universities and have a comparison.

Good luck

thanks man...

I think overall A levels would provide a more well rounded approach to preparing for your degree, compared to STPM. Harder does not necessarily mean better students.

Also, if you want to do law, I suggest you take sciences as your subjects, skip the humanities subjects ( sociology or econs excluded - they are solid subjects). It's makes a huge difference in preparing you for the vigourous legal training ahead.

oww... i dont understand why you suggest me to take science subject instead humanities subjects...
hopefully you can shed some light....

Can any1 give me some suggestion?THank you!

is SAM still recognised by the BAR council?

last I heard they were undergoing some changes.. A Levels is the only course where it is 99.9% confirmed to be accepted regardless of any changes done...

btw will the information on the first page be updated?

some of the info is pretty outdated notwithstanding the fact that this thread is very very old
we should update some of the info so as to reflect current situation

maybe include Australian BAR (and the major states)

cuz i need that info paiseh

Hello Guys,

I am part timer for law student at brickfield. I got a question to ask you and hope you all can help me with it.

My SPM english I got 5C and obviously I need to take another course call IELTS inorder me to get into UK to study for my 3rd year Law.

Does anyone know where is the nearest institute to take up this course and I am from Seremban? Does Nilai have any Institute?

Prefer cheap fees.

I think Inti nilai got de course but i dunnoe you can take it or not as you r not their student><

Check with BAC if they have IELTS for part timers. I know I have to retake mine nxt year so that I can qualify for my BAR

What is IELTS? Is it another exam like CLP?

lol ^^"

Guys, IELTs you can take it at the British Council Malaysia. It is a very simple test just to make sure you can follow basic English and communicate enough to get you by. But I think you need to score at least a 7 or 6.5 out of 9 for British Uni?

http://www.britishcouncil.org/learning-ielts.htm

a 6.5 or 7 overall is not hard to achieve really.

Most unis will usually want a minimum of 6.0 or 6.5 overall for most courses and usually the requirement will be a bit higher for Law maybe a 7.0 or something then would probably ask for a minimum 6.5 or something for writing.

You get to go to UK with 7... thats for sure. But big uni's like Oxbridge require 8 or a minimum 7.5. To do your BAR in the UK, you need 7.5 average and 7.5 for all the modules
