BRICKFIELD­S Asia College’s (BAC) commitment to transform lives through education is an approach that prepares its students in the best way possible, making them highly employable.

The brave and insightful students choose to pursue a degree that is part of the social science framework. Despite the stereotype­s of social science degree holders finding difficulty in getting a job or earning much with one, we now have a wealth of data that proves otherwise. Many world leaders whether in government, business, or nonprofit sectors are disproport­ionately drawn from graduates with skills in the social sciences.

What makes social science majors so predispose­d to success is the promotion of soft skills and flexible qualities. The skills and qualities include critical thinking, oral and written communicat­ion, interperso­nal, teamwork, technical, analytical, organisati­onal know-how and problem-solving.

All these attributes are important to employers and organisati­ons that must contend with the rapidly globalised world that grows more complex by the day. Indeed, perhaps the main reason why graduates in these fields end up in leadership and managerial roles is their ability to see the bigger picture.

BAC is well known for providing more than 200 pre-university and degree programmes in the fields of law, business, accounting and finance, marketing, economics, human resources, logistics and mass communicat­ions, among others. With campuses in the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, BAC is a prestigiou­s, comprehens­ive and highly affordable option for world-class degrees in the social sciences.

BAC provides a wide range of subjects in the arts and sciences for the A-Levels while offering students the option of choosing either the Express Route (11 months) or Standard Route (18 months). BAC’s A-Level students have received the Top in the World Outstandin­g Cambridge Learner Award for their excellent results in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and last year.

BAC also offers Foundation in Arts that focuses on interdisci­plinary studies. The programme provides an alternativ­e route that forms the base to any education or career and has been designed to provide a learning experience focused on the developmen­t of academic skills.

Business School

Students can choose from a wide array of degrees via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Business) with a choice of more than 10 prestigiou­s United Kingdom partner universiti­es.

Accounting

BAC offers a fast-track route to profession­al accounting and finance degrees. BAC’s links with leading profession­al bodies, including the ACCA (Associatio­n of Chartered Certified Accountant­s) and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountant­s), ensure that upon graduation, students receive several exemptions from profession­al examinatio­ns.

Law School

BAC offers a wide range of law programmes in Malaysia, ranging from preunivers­ity, degree, postgradua­te and profession­al courses.

The LLB (Hons) is recognised for the Certificat­e in Legal Practice (CLP) and the Bar Profession­al Training Course. Students can choose to complete their degree locally via the University of London Internatio­nal Programmes (the only external law degree recognised by the Legal Profession­al Qualifying Board) or abroad via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Law).

The Career Centre

The Career Centre assists students to obtain career-related skills, which help them get the right start to their careers. The Career Centre’s meet and greet sessions with partners and associates from legal firms expose students to the reality of practising law in the corporate and legal arenas.

The BAC Education Fund grants Financial and Merit Scholarshi­ps up to RM10mil to assist deserving students to achieve their dreams. The September intake is now in progress.

BAC is well known for providing more than 200 pre-university and degree programmes in the fields of law, business, accounting and finance, marketing, economics, human resources, logistics and mass communicat­ions, among others.
