i'm not sure wat u meant by intermediate or part 1.
mine's a three year course...
every year i need to take 4 subjects and pass all b4 i can proceed to the next year..
i think it's separated into 2 schemes, scheme A and scheme B.
one is for 4 years takin 3 subjects a year and another is 3 years takin 4 subjects a year..
i'm takin llb frm uol external..

frm wat u say i can assume tat u've graduated?
or at least will graduate in a few months?

umm, for UOL LLB, under Scheme A which u are doing (4 subjects done every year for 3 years), first year is commonly referred to intermediate while second and third year are known as Part 1 and Part 2 respectively...

But A'lvl, it seems the marking scheme is more strict ler..LL.b Inter is always described as a "walk in the park" or honeymoon year whilst Part 1 is the determining year where London will filter those weaker students already. And Part 2, they'll be more generous to pass u. It'll be either a fail, pass or flying colours, rarely there will be referrals.

ya kah... i din realize le..
i think the edexcel not tat strict in markin papers anymore le..
my batch mostly manage to pass law ler.. some failed to get 2 passes to proceed to uol llb.
most of them gav up and switch to diploma in law by queensland uni of tech(QUT)..

holy.. then i better get rdy for a tough year ahead of me.. whistling.gif whistling.gif

Sorry if my question isn't so clear. For the UK transfer, for jan intake then the first year will end in aug 2009. If july intake it ends in may 2010.

Supposedly july intake is for ppl who hav a hard time catching up(or want more holidays)? Actually for me there's no need to rush hahaha. cos i just finished stpm...
*
if like tat i think after u receive ur stpm result try apply for local uni lor..
if dun hav the course u wan then u still can enrol for the uol external law programme..
u would be studyin for 2 sems then u hav june exam, after tat would be 2 mnths holiday waitin for the result..

i dun think u need master or phd to become a judge le..
frm wat i heard frm my lecturer, u juz need to work as lawyers for some time, of cos 'berbaik-baik' with judges la...
then maybe when u wanna become judge u ask ur judge frends to promote u..

for me personally, public law and english legal system is quite different..
english legal system is easier to spot question, and u can concentrate on certain topics..
but public law is the opposite.. u need to study everythin.. cos every chapter is interrelated..
i find public law interesting and els boring.. tongue.gif

yeah, we all will for uol llb. I'm still quite upset my timetable had three papers in a row...was damn tough. Alot of ppl complaining having two llb papers in a row, they shud try and face three. If four, i would have just jumped off a cliff...

was very difficult to do well...hope all future uol llb students dun face such a crappy timetable.

wth... 3 in a row is like skinnin u alive le...
well, i cant imagine 4 in a row..
1 thing good bout it is tat u get to finish ur exam in 4 days.. shocking.gif shocking.gif

well, i wish when i enter part 1 the timetable wont be so crappy..
all the best anyway.. tongue.gif tongue.gif
