“ Law is a very challenging and tough degree, so I didn’t feel confident in going for it originally. But, so far I’m finding it interesting and the degree is very valuable — it trains you in different aspects and you get different skills. At this stage I’m still thinking about being a barrister or solicitor, but I could also engage in other legal services, like paralegal work. But I have a plan to go back to my home country and work for my father. Most Malaysians who study law will need to come to the UK for at least a year in order to graduate with a degree recognised by the Malaysian Bar. ” Jia Ling Goh (Jacqueline) from Malaysia did the Advanced Level Foundation at Kings before starting her Law degree at the University of Leeds.
