hi guys. ive been diving in this thread for quite some time.
theres a few questions that i would like to ask. people always tell me its harder to score/pass if u r doing external uol as compared to ukt and ukt is harder to score/pass compare to exam for international students in the uk uni. is this true? i can understand the uol bit cuz its 100% exam based, but other than that is there any other cause that make it harder to score?
and also is it worthy to go into LLM if im determined to take btpc? im thinking about it because the uni im studying at dont really have very good reputation in law. or it will be a waste of money and time? its just a wild thought.
and also sheffield, queen's belfast, cardiff and manchester. which has better reputation for law? thanks in advance.

QUOTE(jhong @ Aug 30 2012, 01:43 PM) Your friend could be right. It is hard to score but i dont think its difficult to pass. I think the study guide is the bible for UoL. I was given some other recommendations for LLM last time when i applied to Queen Mary, University of London. You may consider UCL, LSE, Nottingham, Durham, Edinburgh. Otherwise, Manchester, Sheffield and Cardiff have almost the same reputation for law. oh, i was thinking they might have higher marking standard since its for external students. hmm, thanks for the suggestion. but i was asking do you think its worth it to go for LLM if im certain i'll take up bptc. the only reason i wanna take up LLM is because my undergrad uni is not of such good reputation. :S |

QUOTE(jhong @ Aug 31 2012, 07:28 PM) Do you think LLM would help you in securing an offer for BPTC? If you're an UoL grad, your degree is well-recognised in the UK. In my opinion, LLM doesnt play much role in getting entrance into BPTC program so long you have a recognised law degree. ah.. i see. thanks!  my concern is about getting a job after graduating though. like the employers place a big emphasis on coming from ivy league uni and such things. do you think going in LLM would give me better career prospect in the future? or is it a waste of time if I'm certain to take up BPTC? thanks in advance!

QUOTE(blitzkrieg07 @ Sep 5 2012, 01:22 PM) I have been to a few interviews at the top law firms in the country. Trust me, they don't really care what your qualifications are. What matters most is how you present yourself at the interview. Most importantly, your command of english and your work ethics. I would say the LLM would be a waste of time if you are looking to practice. Unless you plan to take a different career path, eg lecturing, then just take the bptc. I see. That's what I thought about taking LLM as well, just needed assurance from others. Thanks.  QUOTE(formsian @ Sep 6 2012, 06:01 AM) hi guys, Im currently studying uol in BAC now. I have a question- can I do bptc in uk after finishing uol and come back to practice in Malaysia? No problem rite? yeah, so long as you obtain at least second upper for your UOL here if i'm not wrong. |
