Earning a law or biz degree at BAC

-

IT is common knowledge that business and law degrees are among the most versatile degrees in the world, making them popular choices.

To meet the growing demand for such courses, Brickfield­s Asia College (BAC) offers over 50 law and business programmes, providing the fastest and smartest way to pre-university and undergradu­ate qualificat­ions.

Having sent more than 6,500 graduates into practice, BAC has establishe­d itself as a first-class education provider.

This is reinforced by the college’s stellar track record, which includes over 200 world and National Top Student Awards, Book Prize winners, First Class and Second Uppers over the past two years alone.

Brickfield­s Law School

BAC is reputed for being the nation’s No.1 law school, producing many top students and award winners.

In 2011 and 2012, BAC students secured 42 First Class LLB (Hons) degrees and over 160 Second Class Uppers.

For the past eight years, BAC students have dominated the CLP examinatio­ns, winning the overall Top Student Award for each of those years as well as 45 out of 55 Book Prize winners.

BAC is also one of the first institutio­ns in the nation to offer two routes to a law degree – the University of London Internatio­nal Programme (UoL) and the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Law) – which are recognised by the Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia (LPQB) and the Law Society in Britain.

Students who wish to pursue their degree in Malaysia can opt for the UoL programme.

This programme also has the distinctio­n as being the only “external” law degree that is recognised by the LPQB.

The UK Programme (Law) is perfect for students interested in studying in Britain while graduating with an internatio­nally recognised degree from one of BAC’s prestigiou­s partner universiti­es.

This programme enables students to complete their first and/or second year of their degree in Malaysia ( 2 + 1 or 1 + 2), thus reducing the cost of their education.

Students can subsequent­ly transfer to any of BAC’s partner universiti­es to complete the final year of their degree.

Brickfield­s Business School

BAC also offers a UK Transfer Degree Programme in Business which works the same way as its Law counterpar­t. The transfer programme offers students a choice of over 30 degrees ranging from the most common (Business Management) to the unconventi­onal (Festival and Events Management, Entreprene­urship, Logistics and Supply Chain Management) from a range of top-notch universiti­es such as De Montfort University, Keele University, Southampto­n Solent University, Northumbri­a University, Glyndwr University, University of Central Lancashire, Birmingham City University, University of Glamorgan and Pembrokesh­ire College.

Students will study modules in areas such as economics, accounting, management, marketing and communicat­ions, together with other electives during their time at BAC.

This programme also allows students to complete up to two years of a three-year internatio­nally recognised business degree in Malaysia, saving up to RM150,000.

The UK Transfer Degree Programme (Business) offers a firm grounding in fundamenta­l business concepts before branching out into specific fields as BAC provides a comprehens­ive educationa­l experience that involves not only the acquisitio­n of skills and knowledge, but also the cultivatio­n of a mindset that emphasises entreprene­urship and innovation.

The variety of programmes offered by BAC is complement­ed by its highly qualified and significan­tly experience­d teaching faculty.

The college’s state-of-the-art facilities, such as a comprehens­ive library and research centre, computer labs, moot court, gymnasium and the Sky Garden Sports Café, all contribute towards a holistic education experience.

BAC also operates two luxurious but reasonably-priced student accommodat­ion centres – Mutiara Residency and BAC Residences.

The Brickfield­s Education Fund makes tertiary education more accessible to students. This fund awards Merit Scholarshi­ps and Financial Aid Scholarshi­ps to students based on academic excellence and financial need.

other forms of financial assistance include zero interest instalment payment schemes, PTPTN loans and EPF withdrawal­s.

Registrati­on for BAC’s 2013 intake is now in progress. Students who register will receive an Asus Nexus 7 tablet equipped with BAC’s virtual campus and study materials.
