  • Minimal. Lawgistics manages applications, placements, supervision, and reporting. Your team's role is to sign off on the NCP Mobility application, confirm WIL credit recognition, and ensure students are enrolled in the correct subject for grant eligibility. Typical staff time commitment: 4 to 6 hours per cohort.

  • No fee to become a partner university. Students pay a program fee covering placement coordination, accommodation in central KL, supervision, and the language module. Most of the student fee is recoverable through NCP Mobility grants. Current program fee schedule available on request.

  • Commercial litigation, dispute resolution and corporate. Specialist placements available on request. Students are matched to practice areas based on academic background and stated interests.

  • Yes. The primary funding source is the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program, which can cover most of the program cost when administered through your university. We provide all NCP application documentation. Some students also access OS-HELP loans, university travel grants and faculty bursaries.
