‘GOLD STANDARD’LAW PROGRAMMES TO YOU
As a commonwealth country, Malaysia adopts the common law system as practised in the
United Kingdom. As such, SEGi collaborates with the University of London (UK) to offer the
Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme, as well as offering the SEGi homegrown Diploma in
Law.
In a world where degree providers are rapidly increasing, the University of London LLB
offers the security of an internationally recognised ‘gold standard’ established for over 100
years. The University of London was the �rst to offer a degree in English Law, in the 1890s.
Upon graduation students will join a distinguished group of solicitors, barristers and judges
around the world who began their careers by obtaining their law degree through the
University of London International Programmes.
The Law programmes available at SEGi are ideal for students who wish to obtain a
quali�cation of international standing en route to a successful career as a practising lawyer.
The programmes aim to promote independent learning, develop key intellectual
transferable skills, develop critical awareness, and strengthen the students understanding
into the language of law.
