Global learning opportunit­ies

-

TODAY’S job market is changing with employers preferring a versatile and multiskill­ed workforce while students themselves prefer interdisci­plinary courses, double majors or double degrees as opposed to traditiona­l degrees.

Brickfield­s Asia College (BAC), an awardwinni­ng institutio­n, is revolution­ising education by offering multiple options as it is now apparent that the “one size fits all” approach to education is obsolete.

With a wide range of world-class pre-university, undergradu­ate, postgradua­te, profession­al and short courses from over 30 internatio­nal partners and affiliates, BAC’s undergradu­ate degree programmes include law, business, economics and marketing with 3+0, 2+1 or 1+2 options to choose from.

To complement these internatio­nal qualificat­ions, BAC also offers various programmes to build core competenci­es, thus increasing the global mobility and employabil­ity of its graduates. This ensures that BAC graduates remain relevant as being adaptable equates to wider career prospects.

CIE A-Level

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 students the option of choosing either the Express Route (11 months) or the Standard Route (18 months).

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

Students looking forward to getting a head start in their careers will find the BAC A-Levels Express Route an ideal option. This unique programme coupled with BAC’s UK Transfer Degree Programme in Law or Business allows students to graduate up to two years ahead of their peers.

Most recently in the June 2018 exam, Teoh May Xuan scored the highest marks in Malaysia for A-Level Law, while Lee Ji Kean scored the highest marks in Malaysia for A-Level Business and Mum Pei Shan Xuan scored the highest marks in the world for AS Level Law.

Foundation in Law

The Foundation in Law (FIL) is a comprehens­ive programme designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a degree in law or its related fields.

The FIL is now recognised as an entry requiremen­t for students intending to pursue the Certificat­e in Legal Practice in Malaysia.

The FIL provides students with a solid grounding in core legal subjects such as criminal law, contract law, tort law and the English legal system, while also developing the skills needed to succeed in almost any career.

Upon successful completion of this course, students can choose from a wide range of undergradu­ate programmes in social sciences and humanities such as business, management, finance, economics, marketing, mass communicat­ions and public relations.

The FIL emphasises practical experience­s while also enabling students to build on their existing skills through interactiv­e and student-centric approaches to learning. They will benefit from a holistic and hands-on methodolog­y through discussion­s, exploratio­n and evaluation of issues, in addition to developing presentati­on skills.

The BAC Education Fund

The BAC Education Fund grants Financial and Merit Scholarshi­ps up to RM10 million to help deserving students achieve their dreams.
