dear schizoprenic,

I am currently considering of taking up a degree in law in brickfileds, the external programme whcih will take 3 years, and i would like to know what you think. I already have a degree in Psychology, a twinning programme with Help which i have spent my last year in australia and graduated in 2001. Ive been working for about 2 and half year now, mainly in the Hr field (1 year spent working with Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill). My reasons for going back to studies.. i feel like making a chnage in my career, thought of doing a masters programme, but really not sure of what course to take. My bro is currently doing law in brickfields, i have read some of his books and i think im quite interested with this subject. my hesitations? to start all over again, going back to college for 3 years, and would i need to start all over again in career wise, plus of course this is not an easy course or path to take. basically, what do you think? thanks for your help smile.gif

well, it would be good for you to attend the first few classes to see whether reading law is what you want to do...you dun have to pay or register till about a mth after i think...

if you wanna pursue the uol external llb, there are a number of schemes you can choose from that determine how many subjects you wanna do in a year, and the duration...i dun recommend the graduate entry route coz you cant practice, unless you're sure you don't want to do so in the future...

doing the uol llb part time is a good idea, but it gets really hectic during exam periods since everything boils down to those few weeks before the exams...but alot of students do it, especially in HK and alot in SG, so i dun see why it cant be done...

im currently considering a career switch myself from accountancy to law...

haha means you also almost in the same situation as me! yeah Im going to the college to meet with the counsellor to find out more about the programme next week, then i will decide what to do or what to take. so which college/ uni u plan to go?

you're only 24 ah, im 23 oh...

haha, dun worry about it, the knowledge and skills acquired is worth the three years if you're really into the field...
