Because Australian law would be different? so u have to do some research which universities' degrees r recognized in M'sia if not it would not be applied here?
Deakin is tying up with BAC offering LL.M here where one can do distance learning but i wanna do it over there. But Deakin is in Melbourne and i'm thinking to go Sydney so i'm just asking where any uni in Sydney has it and whether it's recognized back here.
Get what i mean?
And it's just for more qualification wise.
The recognition you are referring to is dependent upon your prospective employer's preference. An LL.M from a local university or a foreign university will make no difference with regard to recognition by the Qualifying Board. It may be relevant for the civil service but such a distinction may not be substantially important for the private sector.
If an LL.M is not recognised as a result of it being based on foreign law then only an LL.M from a local public institution will be recognised as they are based on local laws.
Do note that an LL.M is meant to improve and enhance your logical and analytical skills. You are not going to be tested on your knowledge of the substantive law alone.
If a distinction on the recognition of an LL.M is made between a foreign LL.M conducted based on foreign law and a local LL.M conducted based on local law then it would in effect render most if not all foreign LL.M redundant.

Just wanna ask abt postgraduate studies.
Which university in Australia specifically Sydney is recognized by M'sia to do the LLM? because i only know that Deakin University in Melbourne is recognized here. TQ in advanced (:
Back to your initial question in view of your reply, the recognition of your LL.M will be dependent upon your prospective employer's preference on whether they prefer a foreign LL.M or a local LL.M. It is the same as how an employer would prefer a legal advisor who is an advocate and solicitor and one who is a law graduate.
I am addressing the issue of recognition alone.
