University of London - Advance Tertiary College
JPT/BPP(D)1000-701/314 University of London Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) JPT/BPP(A11234)07/15 MALAYSIA • SINGAPORE • HONG KONG University of London Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) The University of London is one of the leading universities in Europe. Its world class federation of 20 colleges and a number of specialist institutes provide an unrivalled range of education opportunities of outstanding breadth and quality. The University of London is unique in its size and federal structure. Dating from 1836 in its current form, the University was a centre of learning in law and medicine. Today, the federation includes specialised colleges such as The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), while others such as University College London (UCL) and King’s College London are multi-faculty. In 1858, The University established the External System (now called the International Programmes) to offer flexible programmes for those who could not go to London to study on campus due to financial, career, or family commitments. The University of London maintains robust and effective quality assurance mechanisms for all of its programmes. Students may choose to complete their studies on a full-time or part-time basis. All graduates are awarded a degree from the University of London, regardless of having studied on campus or via the International Programmes. Equal standards are maintained, as academics who teach and assess the students based at the college are also the developers and writers of the study material for the International Programmes. The principle of equivalency is enshrined within the University’s statutes. The University of London International Undergraduate Laws Programme is governed academically by law departments from six Colleges of the University of London. The six Colleges are Birkbeck, King’s College London, The London School of Economics and Political Science, Queen Mary, The School of Oriental and African Studies, and University College London (UCL). “Nobody ever ridiculed the test of intellectual competence through which only men can arrive at association with the University of London” - Charles Dickens 2 | Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) About Us Think Law, Think ATC 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… Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) | 3 First Among Equals ATC’S SUCCESSES ATC has gained a reputation for being the single largest and most successful provider of this programme worldwide.

Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) | 9 Why Choose ATC? Vivian Oh Xiao Hui (Intermediate) Reading law is always an interesting and enjoyable experience if you are passionate about it. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that reading for the LL.B examination is not an easy task. I used to struggle with the heavy workload at the beginning of my Intermediate year. As a student, there are some “general rules” we must follow in order to excel in our exams. First of all, it is very important for you to attend each and every lecture, tutorial, as well as SPS classes. Attending lectures are crucial to help us gain an initial understanding of the subject matter. It is advisable to read up beforehand, as the subject matter may get more difficult as you progress through the course. Secondly, you must submit extra scripts in order to enhance your understanding of the subject matter, as doing assignments will help you to think critically. In addition to that, it is advisable to do some further reading in order to enhance your knowledge. Thirdly, you must truly understand what you are reading! Never move on until you have truly understood the issue in question. These general rules are applicable throughout your entire law degree and it is certainly administratively workable as ATC has a team of dedicated and awesome lecturers that are always there for us! Nevertheless, there are always exceptions to general rules; you are certainly not expected to study for 24 hours every day. It would be great if you could join societies to help you relax and make your university life meaningful. I joined the Rotaract Club during my Intermediate year – it was fun and enjoyable! It is important for a law student to be an all-rounder, as this will help one in their future career by improving your communication skills and helping to build your social network. Just a reminder to all of you, study hard and play hard! 10 | Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) Tan Peek Shia (Final Part I) I want to begin by saying thank you, because that is probably the biggest word I could think of to express all my overwhelming feelings. First and foremost, I would like to thank my astoundingly supportive family and my loved ones for my achievement. Thank you for always believing in me. Your faith in me is what propels me to strive for the best, driving me to work harder. And to my amazing friends, it is always a pleasure to study and learn together with such lovely and engaging people. To be considered for the highest achiever in Part 1 is truly an honour. With this I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all my tremendously inspiring lecturers at ATC who maximised the time I had with them that made me progressed in this stretching curriculum. I have come to realise that no matter what life challenges or experiences we face in life, we should always remember that we can push past through all of that and survive - not only survive but thrive, as we are the ones who decide our own future, for ourselves. The emotional reward that came with this achievement are far greater than any monetary value I could ever receive. I look forward to successfully completing my degree with distinctions this academic year and to improve myself over the course in this endeavour. Diong Tze Mei (Intermediate) I can never describe the feeling I had when I realised that I had actually excelled in my exams. It was something that had caught me off guard and I did not dare to believe it when I was first informed of my results. I initially thought that some friends of mine were playing a prank on me. It is definitely necessary to work hard, but in my opinion, it is extremely important to learn to listen. The things my lecturers taught us, advised us, and warned us to be careful of are certainly important pieces of advice. It may come off as repetitive at times, but it is actually very helpful as the lecturers have many years of experience in educating students. Understanding yourself and the most effective way in which you are able to study is of utmost importance because there is no point in studying hard when you are unable to efficiently absorb the knowledge contained within the materials. Of course, it is always about consistency and not leaving your studies till the last minute. I would like to give thanks to God, for without Him, I would not have achieved such results. To my family who never ceased to provide me with financial and emotional support, I am forever grateful. I often remember my mum telling me, “Always aim for the stars, so that when you fall, you will at least fall on the coconut trees.” That quote has definitely motivated me. The lecturers of ATC have undoubtedly provided sufficient materials and also invested much effort and hard work in us. I would like to extend my gratitude to them for all their effort and hard work in teaching us, especially as it is not easy to teach a class full of young adults. I would also like to thank my friends for the times we worked hard together and for the help they willingly gave without hoping for anything in return. I hope that in future, ATC lecturers will continue giving their best to students and for ATC students to continue doing well in exams as well as other areas. Masayu Lynn (Final Part I) Studying law is not easy, but ITC School of Laws makes it a little less difficult. The classes they conduct are structured and exam-oriented, yet engaging at the same time. The intensive revision course conducted before the examinations in May is thorough but also concise and extremely helpful as students are taught answering techniques and given vital information. Nevertheless, I personally feel that ITC’s best asset would be its lecturers. The lecturers at ITC are intelligent and well-read. During lessons, they are able to convey legal concepts clearly by providing examples and questions to aid understanding and pique interest. They are friendly and approachable, never hesitating to provide assistance in clarifying my doubts, providing further guidance, and marking assignments. Quality teachers are hard to come by, and I’m truly grateful to them for all the help and support they have given me thus far in my journey of reading law. Neoh Jin Keat (Final Part I) First and foremost, I would like to thank my family as they have been a constant source of inspiration for me. They were as shocked as I was when my results were announced (my mother refreshed the webpage and made me key in the password again just in case there had been a mistake). Their endless support and encouragement helped me overcome all the obstacles that I have encountered throughout my life. I am sure I wouldn’t have made it without them being there for me. Of course, it must be mentioned that without proper guidance from our respectable lecturers at ATC who have provided us with study guides, vital case updates and information relevant to our studies, I wouldn’t have made it here today. They constantly encourage us to think critically and write down our opinion when answering questions. This is not by any means an easy task, given that our educational upbringing “restricts” us from doing so. As such, their dedication and hard work must be respected. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

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. Tan Sri Dr. 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. 22 | Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) Malaysian Laws Scholarship 2013 King’s College, London “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13 First and foremost, I thank God for the wonderful blessings He has poured down upon me and I thank Him for His gracious plan. The phone call from Rev. Simon Askey, Deputy Director of the Undergraduate Law Programmes was unexpected, and my life changed from the moment I knew I would be getting on the plane and, in two years’ time, graduate as a law graduate from Britain! The key to success consists of the will to excel in the exam and the ability to appreciate the underlying beauty of Law. As Lord Denning (my favourite judge) explained, the English Language is not an instrument of mathematical precision. The beauty of Law lies in its inherent potential for analysis owing to its uncertainties, complexities, and inconsistencies. In other words, it is not the difficulty of the subject matter, but our attitude that determines our path – where there’s a will, there’s a way. Law can seem rather “unreasonable” at times in terms of its workload and complexity, but ultimately, it is the passion that will breed the necessary perseverance and determination to get through it. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my beloved parents, lecturers, and friends for helping me to develop a passion for Law. This very passion has brought me so far. I truly thank God for the existence of these wonderful people in my life. To my family, thank you for bringing out the best in me. Thank you to my mum and dad for providing me with love and affection from the day of my birth, and being incessantly supportive of my decision to pursue a degree in Law. All of this would have been impossible without your endless support and encouragement. To my lecturers at ATC, thank you for the patience you have shown me since “Day One” of my A’Levels at ATC. Without these amazing lecturers, I would not have gotten this far. By marking my scripts and answering my questions patiently, you have undeniably contributed significantly to my success. Thank you for the words of encouragement and motivation that you have provided, helping me to cultivate my passion and interest in Law. Lastly, a big thank you to all of my friends! Vivian Oh Xiao Hui Currently continuing her degree at King’s College, London Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) | 23 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. 24 | Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) 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.
