Clear path to a successful career

-

BRICKFIELD­S Asia College (BAC) is an award-winning institutio­n that has establishe­d itself as the fastest and smartest way to more than 300 pre-university and UK degree programmes.

Students have a choice of 25 UK universiti­es with degree programmes, including law, accounting, business, economics and marketing with 3+0, 2+1 or 1+2 options.

In today’s changing job market, employers prefer a versatile and multi-skilled workforce.

BAC revolution­ises education by offering multiple options, as the “one-size-fits-all” approach is now deemed obsolete.

Complement­ing these internatio­nal qualificat­ions are skills that are important in BAC’s approach.

These skills emphasise relevant education that enhances a graduate’s marketabil­ity.

Versatilit­y, when combined with the multiple skill sets offered at BAC, ensures that graduates remain relevant as being adaptable equates to wider career prospects.

At the degree level, students can choose from various options of study, depending on the educationa­l experience they are looking for and their financial considerat­ions.

BAC has an excellent and proven track record in pre-university, undergradu­ate and postgradua­te studies.

In the past five years alone, it has produced over 1,000 local and internatio­nal top students, Book Prize winners, and First and Second Class Upper graduates.
