Just a question BAC has few intakes but LLB london exam is in June so I'm wondering if you take the September intake in 2011 when will you sit for the exam, June 2012 or June 2013? How long does each semester last? Is it same for Part Time & Full Time?

Is it normal to do just 4 subjects in 1 year? Previously in my studies i did 4 subjects per semester that last for 6 months, so 8 subjects in 1 year.

The BAC class schedule last for 6 months then around 2 months before exam. Since they count by year 2 & year 3 i assume it's fixed to do just only 4 subjects a year? There's a big gap from May-June til the next semester start (like normal uni) but would the 3 months really be a waste for parttimers? Or can we do our course work after exams? From what i see January/April intake is one of the worst choice because they have to wait for another 10 months after course for the exams, unless they can take the November exam for resit students.

Also any ATC or BAC students currently doing LLB London External or just finished? Would like to compare these 2 regarding:

1.Quality of Lecturers: Are the lecturers good at conducting classes, making it interesting while at the sametime give us clear understanding of the subjects, giving interesting case examples & explaining? I don't like to rely on self reading to understand 80% of the topics.

2.Notes: I hear BAC notes are easier to understand while ATC is more detailed?

3.Law Library Facilities: I hear BAC just moved & upgraded their facilities, comparing BAC & ATC how are their libraries & facilities? I'm more interested with the law libraries as we need alot reference materials.

4.Students: How are the qualities of the students there, Parttime & Fulltime?

5.Location wise BAC is at central while ATC i hear is near pasar seni. Which college have better campus/facilities?

I heard that UOL LLB offered in Malaysia are based on 100% exams, does it mean there's no coursework at all, just pure study? That is really strange for a degree. I would have preferred a mix of coursework + exams, I also hear their exams are on top of the difficulty list is this true?

Anyone did HELP LLB? I hear it's tailored for Malaysia Law, but is it recognized?

Also are there any good distance learning LLM by Australia or UK uni that's good & cost around the same as UOL LLB?

I know to go into Bar there's alot of requirement to be fulfilled like SPM, STPM etc but if one is not interested in going into bar can one sign up for the LLB/LLM & getting the degree without STPM (or LLB for LLM)? I have SPM, UEC & Engineering degree but no STPM & LLB & never worked in Law industry (for mature entry)...
