If you have your heart set on a legal career, MMU is the university for you. MMU offers award-winning, practical and industry-ready degrees that will allow you to make a real and lasting impact as a legal eagle.

We seek to empower our students with both expertise and knowledge. We are committed to offer programmes that will enhance your depth and perception as well as employability in the field.

Our Faculty of Law incorporates industry-led curriculum so you will gain not only technical knowledge and skills, but also relevant soft and management skills.

We also have strong collaborations with global industry leaders who are ready to share their knowledge to keep you up-to-the-minute with current and future industry needs.

In December 2012, the Legal Profession Qualifying Board (LPQB) of Malaysia declared that graduates with a Bachelor of Law (Hons.) awarded by Multimedia University from 2009/2010 onwards are exempted from the Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) examination. 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 West 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).

LAW AT MMU

MMU was the first private university approved by the Malaysian government. We adhere to the strictest requirements for a high quality degree; going beyond academic excellence to offer the best, complete and balanced university experience for our students.

A study by Gartner and MSC Malaysia found that MMU is among the top five universities preferred by major ICT players for graduate employment - a testament to the quality of our academicians, curriculum, student development programmes and our solid reputation with the industries.

One of the university’s primary objectives is to be able to inspire and innovate others. We understand that the future lies in technology, and we are adamant to help shape people who will help make a better tomorrow.
