 Lim Eu JinRecepient of the 2011 Bar Council Award for the Best Student in Malaysia for Profes- sional Practice From the A-Levels until the completion of my CLP, being a BAC student, I grew as an individual from the exposure and support I received. I am at the starting point of my legal career today for two main reasons. Firstly, the lecturers were excellent in making the subjects interesting and fun to learn and secondly, the textbooks and materials given by BAC are so carefully crafted ensuring all areas of law are well covered. This in my opinion shows BAC’s attention to detail and their dedication to students. |

Not only was there a well-stocked library but also facilities like the gym, dance studio and the Sky Garden Sports Cafe. As Mark Twain said ‘Clothes makes the man’ , for me, so does the place where you choose to study! I’m glad I chose BAC, I made the right choice and so should you! |

 Chan Zhou ChenThe only student to score 4As in the history of the CLP examination I studied law for one simple reason - self-empowerment. Upon completion of my degree, I enrolled in the part-time CLP course at Brickfields Asia College. I realised that this examination required an enormous amount of preparation and with the added difficulty of working full-time, the criteria of choosing a college that could fully assist me in realising my potential became essential. That’s why I chose BAC and I have no regrets! The materials provided were succinct and clear and was essential to my preparation. Ahead of me are tougher challenges, but with the solid grounding I have now, I will embrace those challenges steadily and confidently! |

 Tan Meng YeeUK Transfer Degree Programme (Law) I joined BAC from the A-Levels and I believe it gave me the foundation on which I built my subsequent success in my undergraduate studies. BAC’s lectures were great and helpful. They provided useful strategies in exam preparations and tackling exam questions. The study materials and notes were very useful as well. I owe BAC a huge debt as even after I completed my UK Transfer Degree Programme here and went to the UK, they paid close attention to my progress there and also sent me useful notes and materials. Thanks BAC! |

 Joyce Lau Li VenUK Transfer Degree Programme (Law) BAC is the fuel and spirit that inspire me to achieve greater heights in the legal field. The two years I spent at BAC was a rewarding experience that helped me obtained outstanding results in the UK Transfer Programme which led to a scholarship by the University of Liverpool where I obtained a 1st Class Honours LLB Degree. BAC’s lecturers played a big role in my achievements as their guidance and advice helped shape my education, character and mindset. They are constantly at the forefront of the latest developments in law and this bolsters their already vast knowledge on the subject matter. This provided me an extraordinary platform for intellectual growth. With its unrivalled reputation, I strongly recommend BAC as a place to study! |

 Jasmine Sia Wan JinUK Transfer Degree Programme (Law) I owe my achievements to BAC as it definitely helped me perform exceptionally which in turn helped me win the Cardiff Merit Scholarship! My lecturers were highly approachable and their dedication to each and every student is very apparent. They constantly made us believe that we could succeed and it undoubtedly boosted my confidence! The Nations No. 1 Law School label is not a justifiable representation as my experiences here is so much more than that. I enrolled in BAC because of its affordable tuition fees but I believe I gained so much more than what I paid for! I am also impressed with the efficiency and kindness of the administrative office for always going beyond their duties to solve students problems. Thanks to BAC and Cardiff University, my goal in life of being a lawyer is now within my reach. |

 Yvonne Ng Yi WenUK Transfer Degree Programme (Law) I have always had a great passion for the law and enrolled into Brickfields Asia College (BAC) to pursue the UK Transfer Degree Programme because I wanted to experience life in the UK. During the first two years of study at BAC, I was provided with comprehensive materials including textbooks that were published by the college itself. The lecturers in BAC were very good and explained the law very well and this helped develop my critical thinking skills. I was not as proficient in English as other students; nevertheless, the lecturers were very helpful and patient. I enjoyed my time there and although I worked hard, I also had time for friends and entertainment. Now, I am more confident in analysing complex issues and enjoy engaging in debates and discussions. I really enjoy the challenging intellectual experience that the law provides. |

 Kimberly OngCambridge International Examinations Not being a local KL-ite was initially a challenge to me, but it wasn’t long before BAC became my home away from home. College life moved so quickly mainly due to the warm ambience and wonderful environment that BAC provided. I fostered many great friendships here. It was also a very conducive place where I could focus on my studies while balancing a good social life. I would definitely credit my success to all my highly knowledgeable and approachable lecturers who were ever ready to assist all the students. Being too eager to learn, I was not only taught but also guided and inspired by them. It was overall a great experience studying at BAC! |
