Programme Description

Foundation in Science is designed to provide an entry into degree programmes in the engineering and non-engineering fields. Both the engineering and non-engineering students will study Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English Language at different levels. In addition to this, students have elective subjects based on their Major. Engineering students will choose Dynamics, Statics and Physics laboratory work while the non-engineering students will choose Biology, Biology Laboratory work and Biochemistry. The total credit hours vary based on the fields chosen by the student: Engineering (51 credit hours) and Non-engineering (55 credit hours).

Students undergoing this programme have a wide selection of degree programmes to enrol into. In the engineering field, they have Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Automobile Engineering, etc., while in the non-engineering field; options include Pharmacy, Food Science, Biotechnology, Agriculture, etc.

This is a full time programme conducted in 3 semesters (1 year) and it develops students’ ability and knowledge in theory and practice.
