Course Overview

Foundation in Science is a full-time, intensive pre-university programme designed to develop the knowledge and learning skills required for a smooth transition into an undergraduate degree at UTAR.

The programme includes courses that strengthen students' academic knowledge, introduce developments in relevant fields of study and foster critical-thinking skills. It also develops students' presentation skills and English-language proficiency.

Beginning with the January 2023 intake, students may select from different elective-course pathways according to their intended field of study.
