MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

GROOMING EMPLOYABLE LAWYERS Choosing the right programme that comes with the appropriate facilities and ambience for study is any student's and parent’s priority. Thus, the question arises, why HELP for Law?

Allow us to introduce you to the philosophy of the Faculty. HELP University has been enjoying the privilege of being one of the first private universities to introduce the UK Degree Transfer Programme (Law) which has been recognised by prestigious and reputable universities in the UK. To date, we have as our partners Cardiff University, University of the West of England, Bristol, Aberystwyth University, University of Liverpool, University of Manchester, University of Sheffield, Northumbria University, University of Hertfordshire and the University of Leeds. The programme has also received full accreditation from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

2009 also saw the Department expand by introducing its own Bachelor of Laws Honours degree. The Bachelor of Laws Honours degree has received full accreditation from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and received recognition from the Malaysian Legal Profession Qualifying Board (MLPQB) in June 2019.

The Faculty assures you of quality teaching as we have teaching faculty who are experienced, dedicated and qualified, some of whom were former practitioners who have turned to full-time academic life. We believe that great careers are built on firm foundations. Our approach is holistic. We strive to listen, to learn, and to help students define their dreams and achieve their aspirations.

I must give credit to the lecturers who always go beyond their call of duty to offer their support. They value our

opinion and encourage us to think out of the box, a skill that I certainly developed at HELP. Besides that, the syllabus and programs conducted by the University has prepared us to face the real world. They emphasise, amongst others, peer teaching, legal research, negotiation skills, mediation and I learned to value different opinions to ensure teamwork.

The Editorial Board and contributors to the law journal comprise undergraduates who carry out the editing and writing of articles. Contributors are guided by the academic staff of the faculty, acting as ‘supervisors’ to ensure that it is an enriching and knowledgeable endeavour for all involved.

The law lecturers in HELP University were very helpful and professional, not only in delivering their teaching and making the students fully understand the points of law, but they also prepared the students to grasp the soft skills that are needed and trained them to think critically like a lawyer.Also, the legal skills and practice module, which were only offered in HELP Law programme, were particularly useful for all students who later might embark on the CLP course or the UK Bar Exam in order to practise law, as it gave them a glimpse of the practical side of the legal world.”Ng Juhn Tao UK Degree Transfer Programme (Law)LLB First Class Honours, University of Liverpool (2018)
