"The Bachelor of Jurisprudence programme is designed in such a way that it is ideal for mature students or working adults like myself. It has provided me with the opportunity to pursue a professional legal degree in Malaysia. Weekend lectures and exams are scheduled to accommodate the needs of those who work. Without a doubt, the lecturers are friendly and understanding of the difficulties we face while juggling work, family, and studies. This programme has allowed me to connect with peers from various fields. It was a wonderful journey for me, and I greatly enjoyed it. I strongly recommend this programme, especially for working adults who want to learn law from Malaysia's best law school."

"The thought of attaining a law degree is close to impossible for any working adults, more so for those who are constantly faced with hectic work schedule such as the professionals in the healthcare, legal or engineering industries. UM’s BJuris Programme has however changed that perception of mine and made it possible for people like me to do just that. The optional tuition/lectures were conducted in the weekends to accommodate the tight schedule of working adults. On top of that, the UM lecturers are very knowledgeable in their respective field, and they always go extra mile to ensure the students can grasp the knowledge delivered. Moreover, the programme is structured to cover all the fundamentals one needs to understand in the legal field regardless of the professions one is in as the students come from very diverse backgrounds. I am also grateful to have the opportunity to make new friends with policymakers, doctors, engineers, bankers, insurers, or even human resource executives through this programme. With that, it has expanded my horizon beyond the legal field, including these other areas through the exchanges of opinions during group discussions. All in all, I find the experience in this programme enjoyable!"
