A Foundation Program in Malaysia is a pre-university qualification designed to bridge the gap between secondary school and a bachelor’s degree. It is usually offered by Malaysian universities and acts as a direct pathway into undergraduate studies at the same institution (and sometimes partner universities).
Key Features of Foundation Programs in Malaysia
- Duration: Usually 1 year (2–3 semesters).
- Curriculum: Mix of core subjects (like English, Mathematics, IT, Critical Thinking) and specialized subjects related to the intended degree (e.g., Science, Engineering, Business, Arts).
- Teaching Style: Continuous assessment, projects, coursework, and fewer final exams compared to A-Levels or other qualifications.
- Progression: After completing, students are guaranteed entry into the university’s bachelor programs (if minimum requirements are met).
