Smart way to UK degrees

-

BRICKFIELD­S Asia College ( BAC) has establishe­d itself as the fastest and smartest way to UK law and business degrees. With partnershi­ps and affiliatio­ns with over 25 UK universiti­es and profession­al organisati­ons, BAC offers students access to over 100 worldclass degrees and profession­al qualificat­ions to be completed either locally or abroad. Known as the nation’s No. 1 law school, BAC’s students have obtained excellent results in undergradu­ate and postgradua­te studies.

Over the past three years alone, BAC has produced over 400 World and National Top Students, Book Prize Winners, First Class and Second Class Upper graduates.

* Business School

As an alternativ­e to law, BAC offers the UKT Degree Programme ( Business) where students can choose degrees that range from the most common ( Business Management) to the unconventi­onal ( Logistics and Supply Chain Management) from over 10 prestigiou­s UK partner universiti­es.

* Law School

Students can opt to pursue their LLB ( Hons) via the University of London Internatio­nal Programmes, the only external law degree recognised by the Legal Profession­al Qualifying Board.

This programme allows students to complete all three years of study in Malaysia.

BAC also offers the UK Transfer ( UKT) Degree Programme ( Law), which allows students to study in Malaysia for up to two years before transferri­ng to one of BAC’s prestigiou­s UK partner universiti­es for the remainder of the course. After obtaining a law degree, graduates may then choose to pursue the Certificat­e in Legal Practice ( CLP), which will qualify them to become advocates and solicitors in Malaysia.

At the undergradu­ate level, 29 graduates from eight different BAC UK partner universiti­es were awarded First Class LLB ( Hons) in the May 2015 examinatio­n, a first for a local institutio­n. BAC has now produced 99 First Class LLB ( Hons) graduates over the past four years. At the postgradua­te level, BAC students secured 10 consecutiv­e Tun Hamid Omar Foundation Awards for Best Overall CLP Student in Malaysia, 55 out of 69 Book Prizes and 56 out of 71 Second Class Uppers awarded in the CLP examinatio­ns since 2005.

In 2015, for the 10th time in just as many years, BAC student Lee Mei Hooi received the Tun Hamid Omar Award for Best Overall CLP Student in the country.

This is the first time that students from the same institutio­n have been awarded this coveted prize for the 10th consecutiv­e year. In addition, four BAC students won book prizes, recognisin­g the highest mark achieved in individual papers – Vinhothini Rajoo ( Evidence), Leow Zi Wong ( General Paper), Tan Li Wun ( General Paper) and Song Ee Rong ( Profession­al Practice).

BAC’s exceptiona­l track record demonstrat­es the college’s commitment to provide an exceptiona­l educationa­l experience. BAC’s winning combinatio­n of a faculty of qualified academics and experience­d practition­ers supplement­ed with comprehens­ive learning materials and total support ensure students enjoy a holistic education. BAC aims to further enhance students’ credential­s through the innovative Masterclas­s Series ( MCS) programme.

The MCS is a revolution­ary legal programme, which provides students with essential training in the core areas of legal practice such as Advocacy Skills, Contract and Legal Drafting Skills, Opinion Writing, Conveyanci­ng Law & Practice, Negotiatio­n Skills, Commercial and Corporate Practice and Personal Injury Litigation.

The MCS is delivered by a select team of senior and highly respected members of the bar and bench. Another programme unique to BAC is the Profession­al Plus Series ( ProPlus), which is designed to upgrade and up- skill legal students and practition­ers with relevant industry- specific knowledge. This programme allows students to explore different areas of practice prior to specialisi­ng in a specific area of law. The ProPlus is taught by eminent legal practition­ers, industry experts and experience­d profession­als.

The ProPlus includes Shipping Law and Practice, Oil and Gas Law, Administra­tion of Estates, Islamic Banking and Finance, Media Law, Intellectu­al Property Law, Employment Law and Practice, Commercial Contracts and more. The September 2015 intake is in progress.
