Producing multi-skilled graduates

-

BRICKFIELD­S Asia College (BAC) is an award-winning institutio­n that has establishe­d itself as the “Fastest and Smartest” way to over 300 pre-university and degree programmes in the United Kingdom.

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

Today’s job market is changing, with employers now looking for a versatile and multi-skilled workforce. BAC is revolution­ising education by offering multiple options in education, as it is now apparent that the “one size fits all” approach is now obsolete.

Complement­ing these internatio­nal qualificat­ions are skills, which are an important part of BAC’s approach. This emphasises relevant education that increases the marketabil­ity of a graduate. Versatilit­y when combined with multiple skillsets offered at BAC ensures graduates will remain relevant as being adaptable equates to wider career prospects.

CIE A-Levels

The Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns (CIE) A-Levels is the world’s most recognised pre-university programme. BAC provides a wide range of subjects in the arts and sciences while offering the option of the Express Route (11 months) or Standard Route (18 months).

Students can select from a wide range of A-Levels subjects offered, which include biology, chemistry, physics, law, economics, accounting, English literature, further mathematic­s and mathematic­s allowing them to progress onto a variety of degree programmes in law, business, medicine, finance, engineerin­g or communicat­ion, among others.

The BAC A-Levels Express Route coupled with BAC’s UK Transfer Degree Programme in Law or Business allows students to graduate up to two years ahead of their peers.

For the sixth year running, Brickfield­s Asia College (BAC) A-Level students have received the prestigiou­s Outstandin­g Cambridge Learner Award in the Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns (CIE) series.

Most recently, standard route student James Tan scored the highest marks in the world for AS Level Law in November 2016 and A-Level Law in June 2017 while express route student Low Zhao Lin scored the highest marks in the world for A-Level Law at the November 2016 exams.

Foundation in Arts

BAC also offers the Foundation in Arts programme that focuses on interdisci­plinary studies and provides an alternativ­e route that forms the base to any education or career.

BAC’S pre-university programmes are a stepping stone leading to degrees in diverse fields such as accounting, actuarial sciences, biomedical sciences, business, computing, dentistry, economics, English, finance, human resources, media studies, medicine, public relations and veterinary science.
