very very pleased with all the info over here.. will take more time to read and get to know more.  I am an Actuarial Science degree holder and planning to do law next year. My target is to be a law practitioner and i am sure i hv to start all over again.  Here are some questions in my mind.. Can i know my possible routes to law practitioner by part time study? (i know i should be able to figure out after reading through all the posts, but i am just too eager to know..sorry) btw, will that be ok if i dont have STPM cert? coz i entered my uni via foundation programme straight after my SPM... btw, any suggestion on college / uni that has part time study?

QUOTE(sumiha12 @ Aug 2 2012, 09:38 PM) Nice to know there are people like me around; venturing into new fields. My research so far for part time studies: IPTA: UiTM intake September every year through Pengajian Luar Kampus (PLK) study methods, you still have to attend class but outside of working hours. Fees super cheap. Can apply for PTPTN loan and then get a scholarship if you graduate with a 1st class honors. Reputation? I've read an article by a UiTM Law lecturer in The Star before, it was a good read with good English. That's all I know. IPTS: University of London (External): you can choose to go to classes BAC etc. (you have to pay for exam, study material, classes) or you can study on your own (only pay for exam and study material to UOL, no classes). No PTPTN cause its IPTS part time. CLP included of course. I would say it depends where you're going with your career. I'm in construction, a field that is heavily influenced by local/state laws, so going to an IPTA makes sense. Where are you going with your career? Btw, have you started working yet? Or did you decide to change careers during your uni years? Like me. It's best to know what it's like working in your field so you can know where the opportunities are. I believe that law is usable everywhere, you just have to know how to use it in your field of interest. Hi, nice to know you!!  yup, i m going to venture into a whole new world. Got a very good opportunity recently..which requires me to become a certified lawyer. It might take years to complete, but i will go for it. Thanks for your info on UiTM! Will definitely find out more. Yes, had been working for 2+ years.. (fairly new in the market huh? hahaha..) Nth wrong with what i m doing now though.. is kinda a comfort zone for me. I am not afraid to break it.
