Does this mean learning from here or are there actual courses here?

I spend so much time here that I could complete an actual course in the time......

This is a good idea - maybe IB should consider having on-line islamic courses for its members, insha Allah : )

If I have the time, I will be pursing a degree in Economics and Mathematics at London University External.

I was studying towards a degree in Mathematics at OU BUT it's too expensive.

Wonder how I will be able to combine my accountancy and degree exams...
 
I'm a law student. I finished uni in may time (2012) but I failed one of my exams and then retook it, yet failed it again. It's going to be my last chance in april/may 2013 :( I want to become a solicitor Insha'Allah. Remember me in your blessed duas. Jazak'Allah :)

Most law students really struggle to become a Solicitor. I previously worked in the legal field as a Paralegal and it is so competitive. I think you should avoid it like plague unless you have a training contract in place before you commence your LPC. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. It would be terrible if you complete your LPC but unable to qualify.

I know its pretty hard. I was thinking of doing the LPC part time, because alot of people struggle with it, a friend of mine dropped out :/ As for a training contract, someone has that sorted for me so all is well. All about passing the exam I have left now.. :)

LPC should not be too difficult. It's actually quite straightforward if you are able to cope with a Law Degree. I understand there is a lot of information to learn.

You should seriously consider a different career path. Firms are simply not recruitment as much as they used to. You are going to face so many rejections, unless you have experience.

If you have experience working in a law firm, then I believe you will have a chance. Six months experience should be sufficient, along with good grades.

Not trying to put you off, but something for you to consider before you commence on your LPC.

A good friend of my uncle is going to give me the training contract, so I'm not worried about that. I want to do it. It's my dream to become a solicitor lol. I might just do some work experience in some local firms, so that should help.. :)
 
^ Lucky that you have a relative friend to help you out. Most law graduates do not have that support...
 
I have completed my studies. My academic course was related to It field. I am now It professional and teaching in American university as visiting teacher.
 
I graduated in Business & Management, majoring in Marketing in 1989. Theoretically very useful but practically not very applicable. What was learnt were exceptional circumstances and situations that paved the way for the successful stories of leading industrialists of today. We cannot follow them as the situation is different an opportunities are extremely rare.

Having the basics has helped and I have found that education, up to to point really helps in report writing and paperwork stuff. Lack of it really slows down the administrative process but not necessarily relevant in field work.

Anyway, I started my working life in the sales sector, then moved to marketing before entering the management... Tough handling people!:exhausted
 
It was accounting along with some courses in journalism and creative writing. Then I studied Islamic banking and Islamic economics with a major in Islamic banking. Worked in management and saw that I absolutely love it - it's very interesting - so now am taking some courses in Business management and then I might do CMA.
 
Physicist here, Master's level, going for a PhD while doing very decently salaried research work. For the first time since, like, forever, my life is on the right track. :)
