Foundation in Science

The Foundation in Science is a pre-university programme designed to provide students with a strong grounding in core scientific subjects, preparing them for undergraduate studies in science, health, and engineering fields. Typically a 1-year full-time programme, it covers essential subjects such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Academic English, and Information Technology, along with elective modules depending on the intended degree pathway. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, practical laboratory skills, and study techniques to ensure students are academically and professionally prepared for degrees in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, biomedical sciences, engineering, or other science-related disciplines. The programme is usually structured over three semesters, allowing students to build a solid foundation for smooth progression into undergraduate programmes at the same university or recognized partner institutions.
