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 University. 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.
ATC’s success lies in the progressive paradigm of our people who make up this remarkable institution. It is their unwavering dedication
and philosophy of continuous improvement that has contributed to our excellent reputation, both locally and internationally.
At ATC, we appreciate the importance of holistic education. We take pride in offering a diverse range of extra-curricular activities.
This is an opportunity for our students to explore and develop their talent. We have also excelled in this scene whereby ATC has set
the standard for mooting and debating. ATC emerged champions in the 4th and 6th LAWASIA International Moot Competition in Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Seoul, South Korea respectively. Although ATC’s moot team lost to Singapore’s SMU in a tight semi-final
in Bali in the LAWASIA International Moot Competition 2012, we are proud that they have overcome teams from HCMC University,
Vietnam; Tsinghua University, China; Loyola Law School, USA; Edith Cowan University, Australia in the preliminary rounds, and in the
quarterfinal, the National Law University, Jodhpur, India.
In addition, ATC has also established strong partnerships with top-ranked universities and international organisations. Be a part of our
tradition of excellence and rest assured that your journey to success begins here…

I have always wanted to pursue a degree in Law. I chose to do my A’ Levels at ATC since it is
well known for being the finest law school and has consistently produced top achievers. With
God’s grace and the sincere commitment of the A’ Level lecturing team, I managed to achieve
remarkable results in the May/June 2012 Cambridge International Examination. For this, I
would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, lecturers, and friends at ATC. I

Business
In a climate of challenges and advanced globalisation, business is very much
an important enterprise. Today’s leading companies are seeking out individuals
that understand the importance of management, multi-dimensional thinking
and skilled in every aspect of learning. Possessing a degree in the study of
business enables you to achieve these skills and more. At ATC, we recognise
that a solid foundation is essential to infuse the expertise necessary to succeed
in the industry. We design our A’Level programme around the idea that
greatness is attained through growth.
The A’Level business studies subject covers the following areas:
1) People in Organisation - Learn from some of the leading experts on
leadership, strategy, innovation, and ethics. Understand how a company
or industry and its people work within its designs. Prepare to lead and
inspire others.
2) Consumer Behaviour – The secrets of understanding the matrix of human
behaviour and how they react to a certain product or process are exposed.
Studying the shifts in the consumer market is important in these changing
times.
3) Decision Making in Investments – Become skilled at the approaches
to diverse decision-making in business with the primary aim to achieve
superior performance, which would also mean a higher rate of return on
investments.
Accounting & Finance
The world of accounting and finance is ever-evolving to accomodate modern
times. Careers in accounting and finance are associated with very high salaries, exciting
assignments, and glamorous lifestyles. Local and international accounting firms offer
a bewildering array of career opportunities to suit all interests including traditional
auditing, management consulting, corporate finance, IT consulting, tax planning,
and human resources (HR). The same is true for large investment banks and financial
institutions. The combination of subjects in ATC’s A’Level qualification allows students to
not only gain professional qualifications, but also gives many accountants the privilege
to move into senior management positions including the CEO’s. All Finance Directors
are also accountants.
As a subject of the A’Level programme, you will master the following areas:

Accounting Principles - Exposure to both financial and managerial aspects of
accounting and finance. Theoretical and applied areas of both disciplines will be
covered here.

shares, capital reductions and reconstructions. The effect on the balance sheet of

Having an A’Level qualification
from ATC gives you the advantage
of pursuing the following degrees:
BA ( Hons) in Accounting and
Finance
BA (Hons) in Forensic Accounting
BA (Hons) in Taxation
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.
Dare to pursue the following degree
programmes with ATC’s A’Level
qualification:
BA(Hons) in Mass Communication
BA (Hons) in Public Relations
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.
“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.”

BA (Hons) in Event Planning and
Management

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 everincreasing 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 representing their “client” and arguing their case before a panel of judges. Such competitions also include the
drafting of briefs, known as 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 reallife judges, lawyers, and arbitrators.
Advance Tertiary College (ATC) is not only known for producing the best grades, but also for winning moot competitions nationally
and internationally. Since ATC’s debut in the 2007 national moot competition, ATC teams have won numerous tournaments and
accompanying prizes.

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 • Tuesday, 2 August 2011 • 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
