Hi, just wanna ask if any HELP law students are here, is it better to go for the jan intake or july intake? Any difference? Sorry if this is a very 'duh' question but I'm really pressed for time.

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...

Is King's College ranked higher than Cardiff, or say, any of the unis offered by HELP UK transfer degree?

And does ATC give King's Col scholarship to their top students?

Thanks for the info Haih so headache picking the right uni to go into right now. I've got 3 more months to decide.

in ur opinion, external degree or transfer programme which one is better? sorry for such a dumb ques

Just to answer ur ques...
I finished my form 6 stpm with 2A n 2C(ya it doesnt look like a 'prospective law students results', I KNOW)
yes i intend to practice.
And I do have the funds to go to UK but I donno if I should do a credit transfer...or just finish my external here and then only do my BVC there. In any case I wish to go to UK hahaha...as for the UK unis, I aim for cardiff or exeter. Manchester wont accept my horrible stpm results:(

So what are the pros and cons then?

But its not twinning prog to cardiff at INTI or help, its credit transfer...bt i think cardiff doesnt consider the pre-u results right?

I'm a law student at HELP.I can tell you that their teaching is very good...very unlike your usual college and secondary school style...i'm not sure if its the same for external progs like atc n bac, but as far as I know, the external prog actually gives the students very comprehensive notes on each subject. In HELP, they pretty much give u the important info and leave you alone to do most of the grunt work. Don't expect practical notes...the lecturers just give u outlines on each topic, so the backgrounds of the cases, statutes, diff opinions=please find it yourself. I think it's really useful that they force us to do our own research instead of relying on their notes. Also I think the HELP DTP gives a lot of flexibility bcos we can transfer either in the 1st or 2nd yr, and to so many universities as well.

So if you think you want all the notes, materials at your doorstep all nicely wrapped up for you with a ribbon on top, then the external prog might be better for you. It makes studying for the exams a lot easier, which is good in the case if evaluation is 100% exam-based. In HELP, because there's 20% allocated for assignment, they basically expect us to brush up on our resourcefulness a little bit more.

i'm not too sure abt how they do it at taylors, sorry,

standards for entering the bvc already so high...what more the bptc? So sad for transfer students, especially those who aspire to be barristers

Any seniors from cardiff, leeds or manchester here? I'd like to know more about the llb at ur unis...aka student life, quality of lecturers and research, legal aid programs and generally life as a law student there.

Hope you can help, big decision coming my way soon!
