nice..

Alrightyyy...have just received my A-Level results recently; and I would appreciate some opinion on:

Reading vs Leeds vs Cardiff

(I know rankings on university law league tables can only mean so much, but I'd appreciate some input from Lowyatians out there)

From what I gather by talking to seniors/law students/lecturers and such, Leeds has the edge of being a traditional redbrick uni, but what I really would like to know is - are there any vast discrepancies between these three unis? Thanks.

i would assume that ur alvl result qualify you to get into leeds through help?

err in my opinion, (what i think) i would go for leeds through help? but for me its basically because of the ranking la, it was my insurance and i was ready to go there already (but i got my firm)

i didn choose reading because they are not recognised by singapore if wanna do bar there, only certain unis are and cardiff and leeds are one of them, but i also heard that singapore requires the llb to be done fully in uk
but i dono whether the rules have changed for both

and i didn choose cardiff basically because err its in wales, just never thought of going there

however i think, i think only la, that life in taylors reading, is easier than in help?

Today my dad and I had a talk about what I should study next year and I think I wanna take ICPU from Taylor's. After that, I intend to study law in Taylor's with its 1+2 programme with the Uni. of Reading. Because the intake dates of the law programme are only January and September, my dad advised me to take the first intake of ICPU so I can straight away take the January intake of the law programme the year after. My initial plan was to take the second intake of ICPU but my dad tells me that I would be wasting 6months waiting for the next intake of the law programme. I have two questions:

(1) Is ICPU a good choice for me to study law? I know A levels is better but I'm really not interested.
(2) Will I make it in time to take the January intake of the law programme if I take the January intake of ICPU?

Thanks!

through HELP university college degree transfer programme,if i fulfilled the requirements,does it mean i will be guarateed a place in the partner university such as university of manchester?

firstly check with Taylors whether one who completes the ICPU can then pursue the twinning law prog. Secondly, check with Taylors or the lpqb whether the ICPU is considered a STPM/A level equivalent for admission purposes. In order to practice you will need a STPM/A level equivalent pre u qualification amongst other things...


if you fulfill the requirements then yes you may apply for a place in manchester. Help cannot guarantee it, as it is still at the discretion of the affialiated uni. But most likely you will get it. There may be a quota system in place as well, so you may have to compete with your peers IF there is such a system. Contact the relevant college for more info on that.

Hi People,

I know the discussion above took place 12354 years ago, i m also an a-level student thinking of pursuing Law Degree. Under dilemma if i should do Transfer or Twinning programme.

Hence, is there by any chance anyone of you know the credibility of University of Oxford Brookes? As i've been to various website stated they're new , however its been ranked as the best university amongst other newly established ones.

And, is the syllabus the same for Transfer and Twinning? Lets say i m doing a 2+1 programme, my first year i've decided to do transfer at HELP due to the better partners universities in UK, but i did badly, is it possible for me to switch to twinning in KDU to get into Oxford Brookes?
