Ok here's the thing, I got BBC for my A levels and now Im going to UK to study law. Not a top university but nonetheless an LLB degree. So after 3 years and getting my LLB degree, I will be taking BVC because the university Im going to isnt recognised for CLP.
My question is this, after passing my BVC, I will be looking to get pupiliage. Do I get that from UK or Malaysia? And will my job prospects suffer from a lesser university? ( My dad is a lawyer by the way and I aspire to take over from him ) Will going to a lesser university be a problem then? I should think not

QUOTE(Meaty @ Aug 17 2011, 10:50 AM) Not a problem either UK or M'sia,the question remains whether UK accept you or else.Priority given to local White and not alien like you.The chances to get a place even slimmer when their economic and unemployment rate worsen,just like the current situation. If your 'lesser' university is NOT listed below,then future prospect really at doubt.(at least for me,it is) http://app2.mlaw.gov.sg/UsefulInfo/Practic...64/Default.aspxIf your dad with his own firm,and you did intend to work under the same firm for whole life,there wouldn't be any problem at all.But i'm unsure whether they will accept the 'lesser' university although with BVC(BPTC) exemption in hand.Other words just like even recognised LLB degree,but without STPM/A Level qualification,still not.....up to it. I don't quite understand the last paragraph. You said your unsure if "they" will accept, who's "they" ? and also, I do have A level qualification, just not a very good one. So, your suggestion to me, is to take BVC in UK, then come back and get my pupiliage then go to my dad's firm to work? |

QUOTE(Meaty @ Aug 17 2011, 10:30 PM) They=M'sia Bar Council,they wont accept it even you do have A-level and exempted from CLP with your BVC. Yes,you did skip CLP with your BVC,what's the point when your 'lesser' university is not recognised by them(Bar Council)?Please understand that it is compulsory to be one of their member if you intend to become a practising lawyer in M'sia,whether you like it or not. Best bet would be graduate from one of the listed UK university with link provided,recognised in both M'sia and Singapore.Get BVC from UK and try to get your pupillage there(if you can).The only cons i can think of is you might learn M'sia Law from the beginning as UK system is different from here,eg.Land Law is not applicable here. Or else do your pupillage here is not a bad idea either,and always a good idea if you do it in your dad's firm.Where you can learn and explore,not just office boy/girl job. Would you suggest then for me to do my degree locally? such as BAC? What are the pros and cons of doing it in UK instead of locally? |

I was browsing through the entry requirements for University of Liverpool for the Brickfields UKT programme for law. I came across this weird table where I didnt really understand, it said 1st year of entry 50% or 2nd year of entry 60%. The percentages came under the catergory UCAS. What does this actually mean? 50% and 60% of what?

QUOTE(jhong @ Aug 23 2011, 06:20 PM) It simply means: If you're going for 1+2 - You'll need to score at least with an average of 50% in order to get into Liverpool If you're going for 2+ 1- You'll need to get at least a 50% average in your first year and 60% in your second year. Score in my exams at Brickfields? Or my A levels? Because the UCAS part made me abit confused |
