erm..not really understand what those four inns are.it is because when everytime i talk about studying law,my father will just shout out a name:"lincoln's inn!"so that makes me thought that lincoln's inn is like a university that specialised for law study.can briefly explain what lincoln's inn really is?

QUOTE(blitz3r @ Sep 24 2009, 07:12 PM) thanks 4 d info.... i did some research and found out it takes about GBP16k a yr in uk which is about RM90k....... d tuition fees for example at HELP is RM44k alone excluding living cost which i suspect will n around another Rm30-50k(correct me if im wrong)....... im not from KL so lodging n food is gonna contribute alot to tat...... it seems that the cost diff is very minimal.... btw, taylors twinning programme states that they hav lecturers from Readings coming in to give lectures... anyone currently attending that course or have any feedback on readings?..... Added on September 24, 2009, 7:30 pmsorry 4 d error  ...... living cost in KL about Rm15k so there is about RM20k in diff.....  although it is quite expensive to stay in uk for two years,i think the life will be vry vry enjoyable.actually there are so many loans and scholarships out there,so i will strongly recommend DTP!

QUOTE(blitz3r @ Sep 24 2009, 08:55 PM) ya i totally agree with you there..... about going to uk.... im still deciding whether to do a DTP or Taylors twinning.... im planning to do my bar there so its either gonna be 2 or 3 yrs there from the looks of it.... ^^ thx casual for the info... ill take brickfields into consideration too...... heard that exeter is quite a good uni to study law........ university of exeter is really a good university to go.it ranks 9th in the times university rank 2010 and top 20 law school in uk.however,if i can choose from the uk universities that involve in twinning programme,i will choose university of manchester.  Added on September 24, 2009, 9:34 pmcommon bar course is about to implement in malaysia soon.is common bar course surely will be launched?if CBC has been implemented,will malaysia still recognise BVC?it is because i am planning to do BVC after finished my LLB rather than CBC.

QUOTE(toux @ Sep 26 2009, 11:45 PM) I'm a law student at HELP.I can tell you that their teaching is very good...very unlike your usual college and secondary school style...i'm not sure if its the same for external progs like atc n bac, but as far as I know, the external prog actually gives the students very comprehensive notes on each subject. In HELP, they pretty much give u the important info and leave you alone to do most of the grunt work. Don't expect practical notes...the lecturers just give u outlines on each topic, so the backgrounds of the cases, statutes, diff opinions=please find it yourself. I think it's really useful that they force us to do our own research instead of relying on their notes. Also I think the HELP DTP gives a lot of flexibility bcos we can transfer either in the 1st or 2nd yr, and to so many universities as well. So if you think you want all the notes, materials at your doorstep all nicely wrapped up for you with a ribbon on top, then the external prog might be better for you. It makes studying for the exams a lot easier, which is good in the case if evaluation is 100% exam-based. In HELP, because there's 20% allocated for assignment, they basically expect us to brush up on our resourcefulness a little bit more. i'm not too sure abt how they do it at taylors, sorry, thanks for your information!  u are taking DTP right?which university are u tend to go?
