Overview
One of the oldest academic fields in the world, the Bachelor of Laws is a highly regarded undergraduate qualification that stimulates intellectual understanding through exposure to a wide range of crucial and contemporary humanities and social sciences topics. This course enables students to gain specialist knowledge in the area of Commercial Law as well.

While it is an essential qualification for those who intend to pursue a career as a Barrister and Solicitor, the LLB (Hons) Degree remains popular with students who do not wish to practice law. Giving students the critical knowledge and transferable skills, this course unlocks a plethora of career opportunities across a wide range of professions.

Fully accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and recognised by the Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia (LPQB), graduates who meet the minimum requirements may directly progress to the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) in Malaysia or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) in the UK and join the legal profession as an entry-level lawyer upon completion.
