Thirty years of excellence
“A BIG thank you to ATC principal and chief executive officer, Dr Danny Choong, all my lecturers and classmates for their kind encouragement during the whole period of my degree studies. I could not have pulled this off without them – this achievement is as much theirs as it is mine,” comments an ecstatic Lee Mei
Xian, ATC’s recent success story who was awarded a First Class Honours Law Degree (LLB) from the University of London for its May 2015 examination.
Founded in the year 1987, ATC has helped fulfil the dreams of many in receiving credible legal qualification by providing the prestigious 3+0 LLB (University of London) programme. Standing proudly on the tradition of imparting genuine legal knowledge, ATC consistently strives to maintain high standards in its students’ academic achievements.
The LLB programme at ATC is uniquely structured in providing both fulland part-time classes. ATC appreciates that to initially orientate oneself to the distinctive features and skills needed to study law can be rather daunting – informative introductory classes are usually provided at the early stages to help build students’ confidence.
ATC has in its fold an equal mix of lecturers from both the academic and legal practice world. The study of LLB particularly demands students to develop a critical appreciation of the English common law legal tradition and at the same time, hone their ability to think and write analytically and argumentatively. Through lectures, students are provided thorough understanding of the various dynamic areas of English law while tutorials focus on equipping students with the correct examination techniques.
As an affiliate centre of the University of London, ATC benefits from lectures provided occasionally by visiting lecturers from the university itself.
Students also benefit from the comprehensive sets of Law Reports and updated textbooks and related materials in the Tun Abdul Hamid Law Resource Centre (Library). A computer lab with Internet connection is also available to encourage undergraduates to improve their online research skills.
Taking the LLB can be a long and arduous journey, but ATC maintains a culture of not leaving its students alone. Those who need guidance are always able to access and receive personal assistance from the faculty members. Besides, throughout the year, students’ activities are held to make the LLB journey a memorable and valuable one.
ATC will soon celebrate 30 years of excellence and has a proud record of being the nation’s only private law school that has produced 16 First Class graduates for the University of London’s International Bachelor of Laws (LLB) Programme.
Determined to constantly improve and continue the tradition of producing worldclass graduates, for the academic year of 2016/2017, ATC is further developing its LLB course by offering interesting modules, namely Civil and Criminal Procedure and International Protection of Human Rights.
