=== Postgraduate Programmes ===
*'''Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP)'''
The Certificate in Legal Practice, or more commonly known as CLP, is a course and examination taken by foreign university law graduates in order to become qualified advocates and solicitors in Malaysia. The examination is conducted by the Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia and is governed by the Legal Profession Act 1976. The Board allows Law degree holders from certain universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand to sit for the examination. Upon obtaining the CLP, students will normally proceed to do chambering, which is a form of apprenticeship similar to a pupilage in England. After completing nine months of chambering, students may finally be called to the Bar to become qualified advocates and solicitors.
Brickfields Asia College has consistently produced excellent results at the CLP examinations and has the best track record for the CLP as BAC has secured more awards in the CLP examinations than all other colleges in Malaysia put together. In the CLP examinations from 2005 to 2010, BAC secured all the top student prizes, 34 out of 41 book prizes and 37 out of 43 Second Uppers awarded nationwide. Most recently in 2010, BAC student Low Huei Sze received the Tun Hamid Omar Foundation Award for the Best Overall CLP student in the country. Another BAC student, Chai Shwu Yi emerged as the only student to be awarded two book prizes in 2010.
Equally impressive in 2009, Chong Zhuo Chen became the recipient of the Tun Hamid Omar Foundation Award for the Best Overall CLP student in the country. She is the only student to score 4As in the history of the CLP examinations. BAC’s results at the 2009 July CLP examinations speaks for itself, 12 out of 13 Second Class Uppers awarded at the July 2009 examinations were secured by BAC students, the highest number in the history of the CLP examinations.

This is a unique professional qualification awarded by Brickfields Asia College in collaboration with the Malaysian Institute of Arbitrators (MIArB). MIArb is a non-profit organization established in 1991 to provide training and educational facilities and to promote the study of law and practice relating to arbitration. It is a fast-track, practical and relevant course that is targeted towards practicing and aspiring arbitrators as well as for those who would like to expand their knowledge in dispute resolution matters. Participants of this course will receive a solid grounding in the basic principles of arbitration, with subsequent emphasis on real-life applications using case studies.
