Have you ever wished you had the superpower to write the very rules and policies that govern society?
In a recent episode of “Degree Unboxing,” Uni Enrol host Angel Lim visited the stunning University of Reading Malaysia campus to meet someone who actually possesses this power! She sat down with Ms Deeba Manain, the Programme Lead and Lecturer of Law. Before stepping into academia, Ms Deeba was a regulatory policymaker in the capital markets, making her the perfect guide to unbox the prestigious University of Reading Malaysia Law program (LLB).
If you are looking for a top-tier Law course in Malaysia, here is an exclusive look at how this university trains the legal minds of tomorrow. Only at Persiaran Graduan, Kota Ilmu, EduCity, 79200 Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia.
⚖️ Step Inside the Moot Court
You can’t learn how to be a top-tier lawyer just by reading textbooks. To train students for the real world, the university boasts a dedicated Moot Court.
But what exactly is a “moot” competition? It is a highly realistic mock trial setting where students learn essential advocacy skills. Divided into Appellants and Respondents, students argue complex cases, practice tendering evidence, and make formal submissions before a judge. It gives them a thrilling, first-hand experience of what a real trial feels like before they even graduate!
🌍 Unmatched Flexibility and Dual Pathways
To practice law in Malaysia, graduates must pass rigorous professional exams, typically the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) or the UK Bar Practice Course.
What makes the University of Reading Malaysia truly unique is the unparalleled flexibility it offers its students. Graduates who complete all three years of their degree locally in Malaysia still retain the option to choose either pathway: they can sit for the CLP locally or head to the UK to complete the Bar Practice Course.
Furthermore, if you want to experience life abroad, UoRM offers seamless mobility. Because the syllabus is perfectly aligned with the UK Reading campus, students can easily transfer their studies using 1+2, 2+1, or even 1+1+1 models, depending on what suits their personal goals!
📚 Unique Modules That Stand Out
When you choose to study Law at the University of Reading Malaysia, you get early access to specialised knowledge that many other institutions save for postgraduate studies. Ms Deeba highlighted a few standout modules:
- Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Students learn various modern modes of settling disputes outside the courtroom, with a strong focus on Arbitration and Mediation.
- Evidence Law: Typically, this complex subject is reserved for the CLP or Bar level. However, UoRM introduces it at the undergraduate level, giving its students a massive head start and early exposure to courtroom mechanics.
- Malaysian Legal System: Unlike many other UK-based law degrees offered in Malaysia that skip local context, UoRM embeds the Malaysian Legal System directly into its Year 2 syllabus, ensuring graduates are fully prepared to practice locally.

🏛️ Real-World Policy Making
UoRM doesn’t just teach law; they show students how it is created. Recently, law students had the incredible opportunity to visit the Ministry of Communication. Hosted by actual government officers, the students sat in the very room where national policies are drafted and were taught how laws are made from scratch. This unique, hands-on exposure is just one of the many ways the university bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world.
