Curriculum

Before beginning the foundation programme, students take a placement test to determine the level they will study at. The modules in semester one may differ according to the entry level and needs of the students.

The modules covered throughout the year will include general language development, an introduction to academic reading and writing, grammar and exam preparation. All of the language and skills taught will help the students to achieve the minimum language requirement for entry into their chosen undergraduate department as well as being transferrable to their undergraduate modules.  The classes are student-centred and encourage the learners to become more autonomous in their learning as their language skills develop through a range of communicative activities.

Skills Development

As well as developing students’ language competencies, the Foundation Programme also targets other essential skills and behaviour. These include collaboration skills, communication skills, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, time management and study skills.
