As an experienced decision maker, I was very keen to acquaint myself with the Singapore Legal system. I decided to sign up for the Law Degree under Birmingham City University (BCU) because it is a reputable university for academic excellence in UK with modules relevant to my interest in Common and Civil Law. Kaplan has the right support team and facilities such as a simulated courtroom for students to practice legal advocacy skills. The well-planned schedule provides more time for working adults like myself to do self-revision and group project discussions.
While I was one of the more mature students, I felt comfortable participating in class discussions with fellow students of different age groups and backgrounds. The lessons helped me tremendously as I was able to better contribute my knowledge in the form of pro-bono legal advice to needy residents at a legal clinic, which I started in 2017.
As lessons progressed, the learning experience warmed my passion in law and I envision myself joining the legal community in 5 years’ time and contributing more to the society by helping others overcome their challenges in the legal system.
