Foundation Degree In Science

This programme is designed as a pathway for students to pursue a degree in Medicine, Pharmacy, Dental Surgery or other medical courses. The courses offered are specifically tailored for direct progression to the undergraduate programmes. Students are exposed to a pre-university environment with the opportunity to interact with other students and the wider community through socially conscious student events and activities.

AFFECTIVE DOMAIN

We provide a holistic learning experience that emphasizes professional ethics and values. These are cultivated throughout a student’s study by means of reflection sessions, and peer, self and mentor feedback to ensure an all-rounded assessment.

EXTRACURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

To provide a rich university experience, the University works with various student clubs and societies. Our collaboration with MERCY Malaysia in forming a Young Mercy programme is unique among the universities in Malaysia as it allows our students to experience volunteer relief operations first-hand and sharpen their organizational and leadership skills.
