Advance in the legal world

ESTABLISHED in 1987, Advance Tertiary College (ATC) aims to give individuals from all walks of life the opportunity to secure a world-class legal qualification, mainly through the University of London’s Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree programme.

This 3+0 course enables undergraduates to study locally and graduate with a credible international legal qualification from the University of London.

“Attaining an LLB degree through the University of London International Programmes is indeed a prestigious achievement.

“It has helped launch many of our graduates’ successful careers, not only in legal practice but also other non-legal and highly competitive spheres, both locally and internationally,” says ATC’s chief executive officer and principal Dr Danny Choong.

In the recent LLB examinations held in May, Siah An-Gel (pic) from ATC Kuala Lumpur won the Malaysian Laws Scholarship.

Also known as the King’s Scholarship, this scholarship is awarded yearly by the University of London to any Malaysian student who scores the highest marks in year one of the LLB.

Through the scholarship, Siah will be completing the final two years of her degree at King’s College London.

Coming from a family with a non-legal background, Siah confesses that her ambition was to study in the medical field.

“Law was not my initial choice of studies. There are no lawyers in my family. Growing up, I never had the opportunity to converse with anyone of such background,” she says. Little did Siah know that she would find her true passion in law.

“I decided to take up a preuniversity course. Somewhere along the line, my mum encouraged me to pursue my studies in law. After that, law was one of the subjects I took when I did the Cambridge A-Levels in ATC and it was then that I became intrigued with the subject matter.”

After attaining outstanding results in her A-Levels by scoring 3As, she was convinced and determined to pursue her LLB degree with ATC.

“I chose ATC because I was attracted to its internal merit scholarship scheme. It gave me the impression that this institute prioritises quality education,” says Siah.

“Thereafter, my time in ATC was an amazing one. It was where I had the privilege of meeting great people and amazing lecturers. This is the place that ignited my zeal for law.”

This month, Siah will begin her second year of LLB in King’s College London towards achieving her aspiration of becoming a litigation lawyer.
