The foundation program is a comprehensive intensive program designed to prepare students for entry to the College’s degree programs. The foundation program is for students whose level of English language proficiency is very basic.
Students are given a placement test to determine whether they will be placed in Level 1, 2 or 3. The placement test is scored out of 50 points. Students are allocated to one of the three levels according to the marks they achieve as follows:
- Level 1: If you score 29 points or below.
- Level 2: If you score between 30 and 39
- Level 3: If you score above 40 points.
