The all-new experience

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

Despite the stereotype­s of social science degree holders finding difficulty in getting a job or earning much with one, we now have a wealth of data that proves otherwise.

What makes social science majors so predispose­d to success is the promotion of soft skills and flexible qualities.

All these attributes are important to employers and organisati­ons that must contend with the rapidly globalised world that grows more complex by the day.

BAC is well known for providing more than 200 pre-university and degree programmes in the fields of law, business, accounting and finance, marketing, economics, human resources, logistics and mass communicat­ions, among others.

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

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 and sciences for the A-Levels while offering students the option of choosing either the Express Route (11 months) or the Standard Route (18 months).

BAC also offers the Foundation in Arts that focuses on interdisci­plinary studies. The programme provides an alternativ­e route that forms the base to any education or career and has been designed to provide a learning experience focused on the developmen­t of academic skills.

Business School

Students can choose from a wide array of degrees via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Business) with a choice of more than 10 prestigiou­s United Kingdompar­tner universiti­es.

Accounting and finance

BAC also offers a fast-track route to profession­al accounting and finance degrees. BAC’s links with leading profession­al bodies, including the ACCA (Associatio­n of Chartered Certified Accountant­s) and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountant­s), ensure that upon graduation, students receive a number of exemptions from profession­al examinatio­ns.

Law School

BAC offers a wide range of law programmes in Malaysia, ranging from pre-university to postgradua­te and profession­al courses.

The LLB (Hons) is recognised for the Certificat­e in Legal Practice (CLP) and the Bar Profession­al Training Course.

Students can choose to complete their degree locally via the University of London Internatio­nal Programmes (the only external law degree recognised by the Legal Profession­al Qualifying Board, Malaysia) or abroad via the UK Transfer Degree Programme (Law).

The Career Centre

The Career Centre assists students to obtain career-related skills, which help them get the right start to their careers. Activities include career talks, career advice, resumé-writing seminars, workshops, internship­s and placements.

One of the activities unique to BAC is the Career Centre’s meet and greet sessions with partners and associates from legal firms, which expose students to the reality of practising law in the corporate and legal arenas. The BAC Education Fund grants Financial Aid and Merit Scholarshi­ps of up to RM10mil to assist deserving students to achieve their dreams. The April intake is now in progress.
