I know one friend in Brickfields Asia who did either SAM or Ausmat (not sure) and is currently in the UK. Call the college to check it out

Anyone is going to the BAC's event at Hilton Hotel?

lol... you need maths to count your expenses, fees and debts...
later on, to count your fees and income and more debts...

Hey , i am also seeking to study law. So , i wanna ask that , is it better for me to study A levels @ taylors then transfer to Brikfields ? I am thinking of sociology , pscyology and Literature in english which i think are comely, Is is a wrong idea?

There are numerous private colleges out there in Malaysia that offer external programs to UK transfer programs. ATC, Bricfields, KDU, Taylors, HELP, SEGi etc. As to whether the degree from that particular is recognised or not, it has to be checked with the Bar Council's website. Those recognised uinversities have already listed on their website.

Was hoping some of the LYN members could help me find a solution to my problem.

Here's what it is.

I will be enrolling in an LLB programme starting January 2012.

However, I'm not sure whether to do the UKT or the UOL programme. The main aspects affecting my decision would be cost and time of graduation.

For the UOL programme

The exams are only conducted during May/June every year.

Jan 2012-Sept 2013 (1 yr) - considered to be one year in ref to the above statement
Sept 2013-Sept 2014 (1 yr)
Sept 2014 -May/ June 2015 (1 yr)

May June 2015 - July 2016 - CLP
CLP Results released in Sept

Chambering period
Sept 2016 - June 2017


For the UKT programme

Jan 2012- Sept 2012 (1 yr)
Sept 2012 - Sept 2013 (1 yr)
Sept 2013 - May June 2014 (1 yr)

May June 2014 - July 2015 - CLP
CLP results released in Sept.

Sept 2015 - June 2016 will be the chambering period.


I guess what i'm asking here is whether a year later or earlier will make a difference? Also the cost of the UKT is much higher, is it really worth it to spend RM100K + for a year overseas?

All replies are much appreciated. biggrin.gif

Well, from my personal experience with UKT, it is worth it. It may seem like a big investment but it gives you a totally different experience.

Perhaps if you're not sure, you can try start with UOL and if you want to transfer, you can do so later on... there's still a choice... (but transferring to London would be much more expensive than a uni outside London.)

a plus for doing a transfer is the benefit of travelling all over europe during the year... you won't feel like coming back after that. the student visa + uk student status gives you a lot of benefits you won't enjoy as a tourist the next time you visit europe... (that's student's life most people would miss a lot)

as for your concern on the time needed, i believe it doesn't really matter... even if you passed everything within the time frame, it doesn't guarantee a job right after the results are released unless you have connections or very exceptional that you managed to secure one before the result is out... just enjoy your student years and try getting some attachment for experience... it makes a difference regardless of what you think when you're doing it.

try getting advice from colleges that offers both programmes instead of those offering only one...

Thank you for your reply. Haha, I was worried that by the time I graduated, peers my age would be LAs already compared to me still chambering.

Btw, are you a lawyer?

peers or not, there are pupils who start their pupillage at 21 years old...so unless u fall into the 21 or 22 category, you still ay find yourself taking instructions from younger LAs.

Erm I would like to ask why everyone is talking about transferring to UK by doing the UOL external program?isn't it an external program which is meant to be completed locally instead of going to the overseas?if transferring to the UK is really the case,what are the criteria that have to be fulfilled in order to transfer?thanks in advance for any reply!

If u want to use UOL to transfer, it is possible, like my friend cousin, Cardiff accepted her but condition is she has to redo her year 1 at Cardiff again. It's up to the university to decide so we cant really tell u the exact requirement.

Well, I'm not sure where your cousin did it, but according to BAC, Cardiff allows second year transfers provided you meet the requirement of 50% in your first year and 60% in your second.

Hey guys to enter law in any private uni or college you must take A lvls ah? If lets say have a diploma in business can you use it to enter or still have to take up A lvls?? Just want to know if this is possible?

cannot.

STPM, A levels and some other pre-Us can.

I have a question,if we study law in malaysia...Do we study in english or in bm?.And for those who area currently working or studying law..Is it hard?..I have a plan of taking up law ,,..cheers

You're welcome.
I'm not a lawyer yet. Will only start my chambering this month. Anyway, I had friends my age who are already LAs but also others older than me who are still in the course. No worries, let your ego down if you want to make the most of your learnings.
About the transfer programme, I think it is still possible for you to transfer to London even if you started the UOL. (correct me if I'm wrong)
All the best.

Hi people, I just finish my SPM, may I knw is there anyway of studying law in Singapore? what is the procedure?
Btw, may I knw hw is the job prospects in Malaysia, the remuneration is low I heard from some, they say lawyer in malaysia not a good choice. any opinion for me? Hope to get some 2cents. Thanks for everything.

bachelor of justice should be in Malay but u can try some private college like ATC, BAC or KDU they do have external programs offered by foreign uninversities that is conducted in english.

Thanks for your reply...Basically we study law in malaysia and speak in english?..What about going on court..Do we speak in bm?

lower courts bm or sometimes bm mix english, higher courts english.
