PETALING JAYA:
Covering both Malaysian Law and the Law of England and Wales, Taylor’s University’s three-year LLB programme equips students to grasp the nuances of global legal practices.

Misha Salehuddin, an LLB student who exercised the articulation pathway to the University of Leeds in her second year, exemplifies this.

Inspired by her father’s early experiences at Taylor’s, she credits the dual exposure for strengthening her grasp of Malaysian law, making her transition to the United Kingdom seamless.

Globally recognised excellence

Taylor’s University’s LLB is recognised by the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (LPQB), giving graduates a credible pathway to pursue the Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP).

Programme director Dr Ambikai Thuraisingam underscores this distinction, emphasising that the LLB is renowned for producing globally competent legal professionals who are ethically grounded and prepared for the challenges of a digital age.

“We are proud of our 33-year legacy of excellence, and the dual jurisdiction exposure ensures our graduates are not just academically proficient but also adaptable, ready to thrive in various legal environments,” Ambikai said.

Integrated curriculum and experiential learning

Beyond its reputation, the curriculum is continuously updated to reflect the dynamic legal field.

Innovations such as gamification and the Virtual Online Future Technology and Extended Reality (VORTEX XR) Lab bring moot court simulations to life in digital spaces, preparing students to engage with modern governance issues, including digital rights, data privacy, and cybersecurity.

The LLB programme blends rigorous legal theory with practical experience and social responsibility.

Collaborations with leading law firms, non-governmental organisations, and regulatory bodies ensure curriculum relevance and employability.

Internships, legal clinics, and community engagement further equip students to apply legal knowledge in diverse contexts.

Through Taylor’s Curriculum Framework, students can complement their law major with electives, an extension, a minor, or even a second major, graduating as multi-skilled professionals.

Misha’s journey reflects this emphasis. In her first year, she served as vice president of the Mooting Society, captained her team in the National Novice Arbitration Moot, and led her team to victory in the Malaysian Law Students’ Network (MLSN) Critical Crackdown Policy Pitching competition.

These experiences refined Misha’s advocacy, research, and teamwork skills.

Faculty advisors such as Lai Mun Onn, Dr Jaganraj Ramachandran, and Harcharan Singh have played a key role in leading the mooting module and supporting the Mooting Society’s activities over the years.

Today, at Leeds, Misha is the second Asian woman to serve as President of Women Breaking Barriers (Law School) and founder of the Asian Law Student Association Leeds Chapter – proof of Taylor’s University’s global readiness.

“The exposure I had at Taylor’s University gave me the confidence to step up in leadership roles abroad. The institution offers countless opportunities -whether through mooting, student initiatives, or networking – that shape you both personally and professionally,” she said.

For students aspiring to become solicitors, corporate legal advisors, researchers, legal journalists, forensic investigators, and more, Taylor’s University’s Bachelor of Laws (Honours) offers a place for Malaysia’s next generation of legal leaders, paving the way for rewarding and impactful careers in law.
