For students majoring in History, you’ll be asked to read and examine past events. Students in this course will have to do plenty of thinking, researching and writing.

Well then, if you do, studying Law in Malaysia might just be for you.

A course in Law teaches you the right skills to practice law in Malaysia. Students taking up law have to be open-minded, good in debating and see things at every angle. They need to be analytical and critical, not agreeing to disagree and definitely not take the easy way out to solve a problem. They have to be well-versed with current trends, international affairs and stick to a clear conscience. Law is the element that upholds the country’s integrity and lawyers help ensure that. Students get to choose which areas of law to specialise in; corporate, criminal, civil rights, intellectual property, etc. Lawyers are well-trained advisors to their clients, providing support in a variety of legal matters, civil or criminal.
