About Us Reputable & Affordable Education Advance Tertiary College (ATC) was formed in 1987 to provide local educational opportunities for school-leavers and working adults. We aim to provide students with access to affordable tertiary and professional education, maintaining the highest level of academic standards at the same time.

In the last decade, ATC has become the largest private law school in the Asian region with two campuses in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Penang), an affiliate centre in Singapore, and a joint venture partnership in Hong Kong with the Hong Kong Polytechnic Univer- sity. Its Business School has also grown to offer a variety of Certificate, Diploma, and Degree programmes that are contemporary and market-driven.

ATC has been recognised by the University of London as one of only six institutions in the world to receive their 150th Anniversary Excellence Award. The University has acknowledged on numerous occasions that ATC is the most successful private law school in the world. Furthermore, ATC is also the only private law school with the most London law awards worldwide.

ATC’s growth in the last two decades is credited to its strong commitment to academic excellence. This is seen in our adoption of cutting edge teaching–learning methodologies which includes the provision of research facilities that are student-centric and geared towards enhancing academic performance.

Our students’ world class results on the University of London external programme every year is testament to this fact. With more than 10,000 graduates who are currently involved in legal practice, the corporate sector, media, and banking industries, the ATC graduate is highly employable in both local and international job sectors.

Mass Communication

How do you spread volumes of information that will leave behind an impression? How do you make yourself loud and clear in a sea of people? You would probably turn to one or more forms of mass communication, which include newspapers, magazines, Television, and radio.

The study of mass communication teaches people how to evaluate the media. Students learn the historical and cultural effect the media has upon society. They practise critical thinking and learn to think visual terms.

In mass communication, your challenge as a writer, visualiser, and speaker is to deliver information to as many people as possible. To do so requires that you rely on words and phrases that have common meanings for many different people. To be a mass communication graduate, one must first have a foundation in the way the world interacts in these modern times. With subjects like Literature and Law under your belt, you will be able master techniques of speaking to mass audiences as old as chieftains and kings. Because mass communication has become much more multicultural, the challenge to find a common ground in ideas and language has changed also.

You study different communication theories that try to explain how people listen, understand, and think about what others say to them. Depending on the programme, you can focus your studies on journalism, advertising, public relations, or even radio and TV broadcasting. In the A’Level qualification, psychology is an elective subject that focuses on the effect of mass media on society, and its role in today's world.

Break free from conventions with Mass Communication. At ATC, the A’Level programme prepares students for undergraduate studies in mass communication; 1) Literary Criticism - Study, evaluate, and interpret literary work forming the

philosophical discussion of current and past eras. With the benefits of literature, one can learn to identify the underlying ideas and issues concerning today’s society.

2) Social Psychology - Describe and evaluate the social approach in psychology

as well as evaluate studies of social interaction in the light of their social and cultural context. Also, this subject allows one to consider the concepts of conformity, obedience, and affiliation, which is much needed to understand the ways of the modern generation.

Dare to pursue the following degree programmes with ATC’s A’Level qualification:

BA(Hons) in Mass Communication

BA (Hons) in Public Relations

BA (Hons) in Event Planning and Management

“Now that I’m working, I am glad I went through the theoretical and practical aspects of my degree as it gave me a better understanding on how the media works and how the audiences reach out through different types of communication channels. My degree has helped me use my experiences while studying: the things I’ve learnt allow me to plan, execute, and manage events and at the same time promote and publicise product and services.”

Melanie Anthony Manager of Suffolk House, Penang.

At ATC, we encourage you to tailor your choice of subjects around your goals & ambitions.

Actuarial Science

BECOME AN ACTUARY TODAY.

If you yearn to do a degree in Actuarial Science, the A’Level programme prepares you to be:

• An expert in the subject of mathematics.

• Passionate about economics, history, social, legal and political issues.

• Self-motivated and possess good leadership qualities.

• Able to analyse and interpret facts and figures.

Early history has shown that actuaries are greatly involved in human lives and businesses, especially in the aspects of mortality and compound interest. The role of actuaries also involve financial risks. WHAT IS ACTUARIAL SCIENCE? An actuary is a business professional who manages financial risks related to insurance product designs, pension, and other financial corporate planning. By applying his or her knowledge in probability, statistics, risk theory and financial principles, an actuary is able to quantify future risk with respect to insurance, annuity, and pension programmes.

They are also known as financial architects and social mathematicians due to their unique combination of quantitative analysis and business expertise to solve the ever- increasing financial and social problems. Even though an actuarial career involves plenty of mathematics, an actuary must always observe current issues and trends in business, social science, legal environment, and the economy. Subjects like Mathematics and Economics in the Cambridge International A’Level Examinations are then the backbones of anyone desiring to pursue a degree in actuarial science. A Degree in Acturial Science The programme is also intended to provide basic and adequate knowledge for students to sit in any early professional examinations, as well as producing skilled actuarial executives for various departments in any industry.

Student Testimonial

Enrolling with ATC’s A-Level programme was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I have ever made. ATC is known for its unparalleled success in producing outstanding individuals in many fields, and it became evident even during the first few days of class that the dedicated faculty is behind this success. The facilities and guidance necessary for one to succeed is all there.

My time spent at ATC has given me much more than just good grades. The invaluable assistance from my lecturers throughout the course has given me an in-depth understanding of the several fields of my studies that not only allowed me to obtain the grades that I have, but also provided me with a solid foundation for my current studies in University College London. I could not have achieved all of this without their help.

I would like to thank all the lecturers at ATC for contributing to my success. I wish them all the best too!

Student Activities Dining with the Judges

The latest in the series of effort undertaken by the CLP team at ATC was to organise a dinner with members of the judiciary and senior legal practitioners in Malaysia. The dinner was held on the 20th of February 2009 at the Bankers Club, Kuala Lumpur. It was styled after the dinners that are compulsory for all students seeking to become a barrister in the United Kingdom.

The event was organised in conjunction with the Malaysian Inner Temple Alumni Association (MITAA) and was attended by close to 50 people. Everyone who attended the dinner looked resplendent in their robes and the style of the dinner followed as closely as possible the traditions of dining at the Inner Temple.

Datuk James Foong and Datuk Sulong Matjerai, both Justices of the Court of Appeal, Malaysia were the judicial personages in attendance and many other legal luminaries from MITAA were also present to give the CLP students advice on embarking upon their journey into legal practice. The speech after dinner was presented by Datuk N. Chandran, a lawyer for 43 years who spoke about how the Bar and the Bench in Malaysia were in the 1960s.

International Moot Competitions

Mooting is a quintessential extra-curricular activity for law students. Participants compete against each other in simulated court proceedings, each repr their “client” and arguing their case before a panel of judges. Such competitions also include the drafting of briefs, known memorials. Moot competitions enrich and complete the legal education of law students by equipping them with research and advocacy skills, as well as building them up by providing the perfect platform to test these skills before real- life judges, lawyers, and arbitrators.

Public Lectures Lessons on Mediation

by THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE CLIFFORD WALLACE Former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals. Monday, 10 December 2012 o Tuesday, 2 August 2011 o ATC KL Campus

On the morning of the 10th of December 2012, the A-Level and Intermediate students of ATC had the privilege of listening to some wise words from Justice Clifford Wallace who is a federal judge in the United States. Justice Clifford Wallace was in Kuala Lumpur on an official visit as a guest of the Federal Court of Malaysia. Malaysia was one of his stops within South East Asia to continue to help neighbouring countries improve various court procedures within their civil justice system, Malaysia being one of them.

Justice Wallace’s talk was focused mainly on mediation and how it appears to be the way forward in solving the problems that are inherent in some civil justice system. As a result of the litigious attitude that has become rampant in our society, the courts are suffering a backlog of cases and congestion within the system itself. As such, they are unable to resolve disputes in a reasonable amount of time. He went on to explain how the process of mediation would solve these problems and hence, put forward a smoother path for justice to be served.

The Intermediate students especially found the talk to be an engaging experience as it related very much to what they have been studying during some of their lectures. Justice Clifford Wallace was one of the people with whom Lord Woolf consulted when he was on his mission to reform the Civil Justice System in the United Kingdom and recommended some of his suggestions which were eventually implemented for the betterment of the civil justice process in the UK, including the concept of case management.

It was an extremely interactive one hour and the students were visibly captivated by the wisdom, sense of humour and vast experience of this sturdy 84 year old judge. Justice Clifford Wallace also shared with the students about his time on the bench as one of the judges on the “Winklevoss Twins’ Facebook” case and related his experience of coming to a decision with his fellow judges on that particular issue.

Jonathan Hirst QC Master Treasurer of the Inner Temple 2012

In 2012, we had the honour of being visited by Jonathan Hirst QC. He is the 4th Master Treasurer of the Inner Temple to visit ATC in the last 5 years.

The students of ATC asked many questions with regard to the English Bar in general and also asked questions concerning studying with the Inner Temple specifically.

ATC would like to thank the Malaysian Inner Temple Alumni Association for facilitating the visit of the Master Treasurer to ATC.

Public Lectures The Right Honourable Lord Justice Sir John Laws Master Treasurer of the Inner Temple 2010

Lord Justice Laws continued with the tradition of the current Master Treasurer of the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple by having a dialogue with the students of ATC. This dialogue was held on 1st October 2010 at ATC’s KL campus.

He spoke to the students about studying at the Inner Temple and his experiences at the English bar. He answered many questions from the students and the event proved to be a huge success.

The Right Honourable Baroness Elizabeth Butler-Sloss Master Treasurer of the Inner Temple 2009

“Education is the key to personal success of the individual but may also be the key to the success of the local community and of the government itself.” No one could have said it better than the first female judge in the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss. On the 25th of March 2010, ATC had the esteemed privilege of hosting the inaugural Tun Azmi Law Lecture series at the ostentatious Hotel Istana. We had invited her to deliver a lecture on “Law and Education: The two pillars of society.

The Right Honourable Lord Justice Sir Anthony May Master Treasurer Of The Inner Temple 2008

“400 Years and The Common Law” was one of the many Public Lectures organised by ATC. Lord Justice Sir Anthony May, the Master Treasurer of The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple and a Judge of the Court of Appeal, England and Wales presented a public lecture at the Royal Selangor Club on the 26th August 2008.

This event was jointly organised by Asean Law Association of Malaysia and Malaysian Inner Temple Alumni Association, and was fully sponsored by Advance Tertiary College (ATC).

Top Result 2012 Ting Ee Linn Top in the World for Law May/June 2012 Cambridge A’ Level

ATC was the first institution that I thought of upon deciding to pursue a Law degree. My achievement in the recent Cambridge International Examinations is evident that I have made the right choice.

ATC’s greatest asset is their dedicated and helpful faculty of lecturers. They are experienced and committed to delivering the best to students. Their guidance was truly invaluable.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my eternal gratitude to my parents for their endless support and guidance.
