Students studying in the Law Malaysia Program have the diverse attractions of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city, within easy reach. These include the Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC, endless shopping opportunities around Bukit Bintang, the colonial buildings around Merdeka Square, and the night market in Petaling Street. Outside Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia offers sandy beaches,

tropical forests and highlands. There are many reasons why Malaysia is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Asia.
