All new BAC experience

IN the 21st century, the paradigm of a “job for life” or “lifetime employment” has shifted to one of “lifetime employabil­ity”, with a particular dependence on progressiv­e, adaptable skills.

Highly employable

Brickfield­s Asia College’s (BAC) commitment to transform lives through education is an approach that prepares students in the best way, making them highly employable always.

The top two questions a student would ask when preparing for higher studies are: “Can I achieve profession­al success through my chosen degree?” and “How can I grow personally through the course of my study?”.

Few choose to pursue a degree within the social science framework. Despite the old stereotype­s of social science degrees – it is difficult to get a job or earn much with one – there is a wealth of data that proves otherwise.

World leaders – whether in government, business, or non-profit sectors – are mostly drawn from social sciences graduates.

Part of the reason social science majors are predispose­d to success is their promotion of soft skills and flexible qualities.

These include critical thinking, oral and written communicat­ion, interperso­nal, teamwork, technical, analytical, organisati­onal and problem-solving.

These attributes are important to employers and organisati­ons dealing with a rapidly globalised and more complexed world.

Graduates perhaps end up in leadership and managerial roles because they have the ability to see the bigger picture, thanks to the strong foundation laid by studying these fields.

BAC is known as the “Fastest and Smartest Way” to over 200 pre-university and degree programmes in the fields of law, business, accounting and finance, marketing, economics, human resources, logistics, mass communicat­ions and more.

BAC is recognised as the Best Brand in Education in Malaysia (2015) with a proven track record in pre-university, undergradu­ate and postgradua­te studies.

World-class degrees

With campuses in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, BAC is a prestigiou­s, comprehens­ive and highly affordable option for world-class degrees in social sciences.

It is recognised as the Best Brand in Education in Malaysia (2015) with a proven track record in pre-university, undergradu­ate and postgradua­te studies.

Over the past five years, BAC has produced over 1,000 world and national top students, book prize winners and first class and second class upper graduates.

BAC provides a wide range of subjects in the arts and sciences for the Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns (CIE) A-Levels, offering students either the 11-month Express Route or the 18-month Standard Route.

BAC’s Foundation in Arts programme focuses on interdisci­plinary studies and provides an alternativ­e route that forms the base of any education or career.

Its business school students can pick from a myriad of degrees via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Business), ranging from the common (Business Management) to unconventi­onal (Logistics and Supply Chain Management).

These business degrees can be completed either locally or abroad, via a choice of over 10 UK partner universiti­es.

Prestigiou­s links

BAC’s links with leading profession­al accounting and finance bodies like ACCA and CIMA ensure students receive a number of exemptions from profession­al exams on graduation.

LLB (Hons) students sitting for Certificat­e in Legal Practice (CLP) and the Bar Profession­al Training Course can choose to complete their degrees locally via the University of London Internatio­nal Programmes (the only external law degree recognised by the Legal Profession­al Qualifying Board) or abroad via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Law).
