Student’s Advice:
“Difficulty comes in getting two references. Basically if you're a 2:1 student you’d probably want to ask at least one lecturer you had from Malaysia, because they know
you more than your lecturers here. You need to email the reference form to your lecturers in Malaysia and have it posted back to you. So do it fast. I’ve had friends who
missed the deadline because of this.”
*Admission form and full details can be found and downloaded from The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple official website.
