Home > About ATC > Our Story
Advance Tertiary College, or ATC as we like to call it, was formed in 1987 to provide local educational opportunities for school-leavers and working adults. The emphasis at that time was to provide Malaysian students with access to professional and tertiary education.
In the last two decades, ATC has become the largest independent Law School in this region with two campuses in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Penang), one in Singapore and two joint venture partnerships in Hong Kong. Its Business School has also grown to offer a variety of Certificate and Diploma programmes that are contemporary and market-driven.
ATC's growth in the last two decades, particularly on the internal and external programmes can be credited to its strong commitment to excellence and academia. This is created in a manner that allows the adoption of teaching-learning methodologies and the provision of research facilities that are student-centric and geared towards enhancing and improving academic performance.
Our students' excellent world-class results on the external programmes every year are testament to this fact. With more than 8,000 graduates who are currently involved in the legal arena, the corporate sector and media industries, amongst others, the ATC graduate is highly employable in both the local and international job sectors.
Credit for ATC successes lies primarily on the cultural mindset of our people who make up this remarkable institution. It is their unfailing dedication and philosophy of continuous improvement of our institution and our students that has not only ensured our survival but also contributed to our excellent reputation, both locally and internationally.
Their sacrifices and integrity have imbued ATC with the reputation of being an exceedingly responsive college that provides a strong sense of direction to its students.
In addition, ATC has also established strong partnerships with several international organisations.
We were invited by Hong Kong Polytechnic University to also provide support for the University of London LL.B programme in Hong Kong.
Our sister college in Singapore, ITC School of Business and Laws which was established in 1997, has grown to become the largest private Law School in Singapore.
