Options to be a global graduate
TODAY’S job market is changing with employers preferring a versatile and multi-skilled workforce while students, themselves, prefer interdisciplinary courses, double majors or double degrees as opposed to traditional degrees.
Brickfields Asia College (BAC), an award-winning institution, is revolutionising education by offering multiple options in education as it is now apparent that the “one size fits all” approach to education is obsolete.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.
Complementing 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-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 & Sciences while offering students the option of choosing either the Express Route (11 months) or the Standard Route (18 months).
Most recently in the November 2018 exam, top student Mum Pei Shan scored the highest marks in the World for A-Levels Law.
This follows her top performance in June 2018 where she scored the highest marks in the World for AS-Level Law.
Outstanding students for the June 2018 exam include Teoh May Xuan who scored the highest marks in Malaysia for A-Levels Law and Lee Ji Kean scored the highest marks in Malaysia for A-Levels Business.
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. BACked4Life
