from the above, i reckon u think u can handle psychology but not law? why is that? level of English?

I was about to say that.
By the way, it is too early to start thinking about all this when you have your trials and SPM ahead you.
Concentrate on those things 1st then you got 3 months to think of it after u finish ur spm. smile.gif

HI schizophrenic,
i'm currently studying in SEGI college.
Taking A-Levels,initially i took up 3 subjects,ie Law,Business Studies and Economics.
I'm the type of student that studies last-minute and consequently i realised i'd not enough time to prepare for my finals.
In addition,i got a rather BAD result for my earlier mock exam for my Business subject.
I made up my mind and thereafter dropped Business in order to allocate more time on my Law n Economics.
I've done my finals just weeks ago,19th June(last paper)..
My A Levels not under Cambridge,but EDEXCEL board of examination.
Besides my result which ll be release this coming august,in the middle of the month,my greatest worries would be if my cert ll be recognised or not.
This is due to sayings i ve heard that most of the Uni-s requires 3 passes in A levels/stpm or Matriculation.
However i was convinced by my college counsellor that so long as i follow the programme provided,be it Diploma In LAw year2 or 4+0 UOL Bachelor of Law,my 2 passes(as i take only 2 in the end) in A Levels will be sufficient to make me eligible.

SOMEHOW,I'm still worried.As thing changes,and i might want to switch to another place for further studies instead of staying and follow Segi's programme.

How would you advise me?
*troubled*
=(
*
to proceed to LLB, u only need 2 passes...dun worry. smile.gif

Same thing.  Melb Uni has changed from an undergraduate entry to a graduate entry for some courses.  Their JD is equivalent to an LLB elsewhere, just named JD because its a graduate entry program.
*
The content of course is slightly different as well.Though in terms of recognization, both are same.

Matriculation only takes 1 year time but it would be quite risky because most of the private institution don't recognise it. The advantage is that you will be having better chances of getting the local public university and the course of your choice.

* Supporting schizo's thread.. =) *

Do local uni really accept matriculation?
A friend of mine was from matriculation and it happen that UM rejected him becase he is not from form 6.oh, he is a non malay by the way.

Anyway, fyi, most external programme/2+1 does not accept matriculation(even aussie matric, dats y dun even think of local matric), its better to go for a level instead of matric where it carries a certain risk. smile.gif

In terms of subjects, its the same although they may be called different things.  They all have to do the Priestley 11 subjects which form all your compulsory subjects.  The rest are electives, which, for your level, are largely similar as well.  The textbooks used are pretty much similar too.

but i do hear that some cases are different .Though, i m not sure about this.

If you can't even be bothered to do your own research as to which universities are good how do you expect to go to university let alone study law?

And no, its extremely difficult to get work in the UK as a foreigner.
*
is true that is extremely difficult to get a job in uk if u happen to be a foreigner but it is not impossible if u own a cert from Uol or any other university in Uk..
Anyway, most of the ppl tend to find a job in malaysia and ask the company transfer them to UK.

okie, im sorta in dilemma right now.
and i would like to seek for some advice.

is it a MUST to take sejarah in STPM if im interested in law?

as what i've heard, sejarah is easy to read and understands, when it comes to question they just screwed up, its HARD to get marks. that is why, most of my seniors failed their sejarah paper.
*
No...Sejarah is not compulsory...As long as u get 2 credits, u can proceed to LLB and do ur clp in future...

I do not believe in doing an external program unless you are a working professional and are unable to attend full time university classes.  There is no substitute to a proper university education where you are taught by actual experts in the field who have written academic papers and textbooks on the subject.  While you will still gain your LLB if you do the UoL external, you would not have the same experience.  As such, it is no wonder why Singapore decided not to recognise external programs and sub-standard overseas universities.
*
True...but in certain external programme colleges, they do have some practiced lawyers who are experienced enuff to who are good enuff to give proper lecture and actual scenario when actual lecture going on...But, certainly, the likes of BAC, ATC(KL) recruited most(if not all) freshly graduated as their lecturer....

Modules problems !! HELP! :S

Im taking company law and Ive heard its a tough subject ! Is that so ?

does it really matter what subjects we take in LLB ?

im seriously considering dropping company law and go for consumer protection, this , is a much easier subject.

Any opinions ?
*
hmm, never trust wat u heard of...from my experience, the subject they told me is hard is usually easier than what they said as easy...It actually varies with ppl...some find company law hard and some find consumer protection hard...it depends on individual...u shud take some time reading both...In my time, i actually attend both classes for the 1st month before i decided...and found the right 1...

and whether company law or consumer protection, it has an impact on what field u plan to take in future...think twice... smile.gif

is it compulsory to take form6 if we are going to take law?
what if i take my course in MMU?
is MMU recognized by government?
*
Whether it is recognized by government is not really important...is what bar council say that matters...

anyway, from what i know, they are accredited by Lan...but still not approved by bar council...

their 1st batch is out last June but til now, the bar council stil din approve it....

if they dun get the approval, they cant be a lawyer....


and oh... form6 is only compulsory if u r planning to take law in local uni...

if u r doing external, an a level will be fine...
