World-class law studies
ESTABLISHED in 1987, Advance Tertiary College (ATC) is one of the oldest private law schools in the region. It affords a viable educational platform to all walks of life in securing a world-class legal qualification.
ATC mainly provides the University of London’s Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree programme. This 3+0 course enables undergraduates to study locally yet graduate with a credible international legal qualification from “the very first university that offered English Law” – 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 into building successful careers, not only in legal practice but also in other non-legal and highly competitive spheres, both locally and internationally,” said ATC group chief executive officer Kevin Leong.
ATC prioritises quality education, imparting legal knowledge with the prime focus of moulding undergraduates towards critical and analytical thinking – an important skill needed to truly appreciate workings of the ever evolving subject matter of law. Its yearly results prove its commitment.
The results of this year’s May examination are no exception. Two students achieved first-class honours – Elycia Chua Yi Chern from the ATC Penang campus and Wong Jie Le from the ATC KL campus.
Chua is currently pursuing the Bar Professional Training Course in the UK, while Wong has accepted a scholarship to pursue the Certificate in Legal Practice at ATC. Either course must be taken to practice law.
The May examination results also boasted the achievement of Lai Li Jun, who won the scholarship to complete his final two years of the LLB at Queen Mary University of London comprising tuition and living expenses.
When asked how they managed to achieve this, all three stated that they worked hard. Lai mentioned countless stressful and tearful nights, but persevered nonetheless. Wong put in everything she had toward achieving this goal. Chua said her brief experience in mooting helped her greatly in understanding how to apply the law in real life.
All three agreed that the common misconception on the reading of law is that memorisation is key. Understanding, analysing and applying the law are keys to doing well.
“Memorisation is important, but one should not be fooled into thinking it is everything,” said Lai.
The dedicated faculty at ATC are always ready to provide assistance to students outside the classroom. According to Lai, “The best part about ATC is that the lecturers are really helpful in providing guidance and enhancing students’ understanding.”
Chua said, “Where I had difficulty comprehending some of the more complex readings, the lecturers were always readily available to break down the material in a simpler manner.”
