As a result, MMU law graduates fall within the definition of a ‘qualified person’ under the Legal Profession Act 1976 (Act 166), and may be admitted as advocates and solicitors in Peninsular Malaysia upon completion of the prescribed period of pupillage. Similarly, MMU law graduates are also qualified to be admitted to the Bar in Sabah (State Gazette G.N.S. 7/2010) and Sarawak (Swk. L.N. 151).

MMU was an amazing experience. Be it the lectures, the extra-curricular activities and the campus life; they were all exciting. The Malacca campus was a vibrant yet stress-free environment for me. There was always something happening. Accomplishments aside, MMU has given me the greatest friends and mentors one could ask for.
