BAC’s Swee Ting Receives Certificate of Excellence in Tort Law
Swee Ting's Journey
Pursuing law is no small feat, but for UOL student Swee Ting, the journey has been one of dedication, discovery, and well-earned success. Recently awarded the prestigious Certificate of Excellence from the University of London for Tort Law, Swee Ting’s story is one that inspires perseverance and passion for the legal field. Her achievement stands as a testament to her hard work, the support of BAC College (Singapore), and her commitment to continuous learning.
Your path to law can be shaped by many experiences, and for Swee Ting, it was her role as an in-house counsel that ignited her interest. Exposure to the legal field through work inspired her to pursue formal academic qualifications, a decision she knew would enhance her career prospects.
As she puts it,
"This qualification will undoubtedly enhance my career prospects, especially with future employers who may be hesitant to hire someone without formal credentials."
Choosing BAC College (Singapore)
Selecting the right institution is crucial for any law student, and for Swee Ting, BAC College (Singapore) was the perfect fit. Its flexibility and affordability made it an ideal choice for balancing part-time study with professional commitments. This decision ultimately provided her with the resources, structure, and support necessary to push herself and succeed in her studies.
The Impact of Inspirational Teaching
Behind every great student is an inspiring educator, and for Swee Ting, Mr. Suresh stood out. His structured teaching style and witty sarcasm made learning for her both engaging and impactful.
She shared that:
"He’s also the lecturer with whom I’ve had the most interaction, as I only took two modules in Year 2 (EU Law and Tort Law), both of which he taught,"
However, her gratitude extends to all her lecturers, each of whom brought their own unique styles of teaching, dedication, and patience to the classroom.
Strategies for Success in Tort Law
Excelling in law requires strategy, and for Swee Ting, mastering past-year exam questions and following a structured approach were key. Under the guidance of Mr. Suresh and Ms. Praveena, she learned to systematically tackle legal issues.
Reflecting on her growth, she notes that her biggest learning moment was understanding the importance of presenting both sides of an argument rather than rushing to a definitive conclusion.
"While lecturers have been drilling this mantra into us since Year 1, I’ve never really understood what it meant till later,"
Overcoming Challenges in Legal Studies
Law can be overwhelming, and like many students, Swee Ting faced the daunting challenge of where to begin. "The sheer volume of material was overwhelming, and it often led to panic and stress," she recalls. However, she soon realised the importance of mastering the basics before diving into more intricate details.
Her go-to technique? Creating charts that allowed her to break down the many complex legal concepts into manageable structures, making sure she never lost sight of the bigger picture.
How BAC College (Singapore) Supported Her Journey
The right academic environment can make all the difference, and Swee Ting credits BAC College (Singapore) for its invaluable support.
"The hardcopy workbooks were particularly helpful, as they are written in clear, digestible language and are easy to reference, especially after staring at the computer for hours,"
The efficiency of BAC’s administrative team and timely reiteration of key announcements further ensured that she never missed crucial deadlines.
The Meaning of Excellence: A Recognition Well Deserved
Achieving excellence is no accident—it is the result of hard work, perseverance, and passion. For Swee Ting, receiving the Certificate of Excellence in Tort Law was an incredibly rewarding moment.
"I felt a great sense of pride and joy when I saw my results, as they reflected the time and effort I had invested,"
The recognition served as a reaffirmation that her decision to take fewer modules and extend her academic term was the right one, allowing her to manage stress while maintaining a continuous focus for her learning process.
