hi...i have a question...

durham university, UK is not recognized by CLP...
does that mean that i cannot study in that university if i want to
work as a lawyer in malaysia?

that means if i get the title barrister-in-law in uk,
then i can come back to malaysia to take my CLP?

hehe..i am not very sure about CLP...

where can i get the latest updates of UK universities that are recognized by CLP??? cuz the one i found is updated in 2001 =="

if you have tight budget, u can go to Methodist College too.
Good quality of teaching

haha just my two cents too =)

Study for your paper 2! my friend got A in paper 1 and C in paper 2, she still can get A in the end for AS.

Law was indeed categorized as soft subject few years ago, but not now. There are people who took law and are pursuing in UK top universities for Law now. What Cambridge stated is that A level law does not give you any advantage, or any disadvantage.

It depends on how you categorize soft subjects. You can find more details about subjects here:

The reason why people are encouraged to take science subjects is because they have the basics from secondary school, it is easier for them to study the science subjects for A levels rather than adapting a whole new environment studying humanities subjects.

Just a curious question, where are you lecturing now?

A graduate from Queen's College. Would be very proud to be your student

I would say it is not recommended to take A level Law as you will have the perception of thinking that a law degree might be as easy as what you did during A levels. You will be doing contract and tort law in A levels and the same modules for university but the modules in university will be tougher.

If you get rejected from top universities in Uk, especially those which require LNAT, definitely LNAT is the one which reduces your chance in gaining offers and not A levels Law.

I am in King's College London doing my final year in Law and I did A levels law before. UCL and Oxford rejected me due to my LNAT results. I didn't apply to LSE as their education counsellor told me not to take A levels Law and Accounting as it will reduce my chances in entering LSE (for year 2010 entry though, I am not sure whether the system has changed or not)

What universities do you plan to apply to?

Yes a test that you need to sit for applying to certain universities.

Of course if you have the ability to enter Oxbridge that would be amazing, or else KCL LSE UCL QMUL are all good. Others for me would be about the same, I might be biased though. Lol.
It all depends on your budget for your living expenses in order to pick your university choices. I paid £14,000 for KCL this year.

You need to sit for aptitude test after gaining a conditional offer for BPTC. It is not easy to get a job after graduating from BPTC, I would even say it is near impossible unless you are an all-rounder person, active in societies in university with excellent results and did some internship during the summer holidays.

As I will be going back to Malaysia to do CLP, I am not the best person to consult regarding BPTC.

Yes that will be an excellent combination in my point of view as none of those subjects are the so called 'soft subjects'.

I do agree with you. Sadly I had no confidence in gaining excellent results for A levels science subjects after losing interest in science subjects in Form 5.

Doing well in all those four subjects should be fine in applying to any universities since there is only one soft subject which is accounting.
