The Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) was founded in December 2011 with the goal of delivering exceptional education to pre-university students who aspire to enter undergraduate programs through an early admission route. Our foundation programs aim to cultivate the skills and abilities required for Level 4 and 3 certificates of the MNQF and equip students with competencies equivalent to university admission standards. Our programs have earned recognition and acceptance from prestigious higher education institutions both locally and internationally.
The Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) offers highly successful programs that are augmented by academic skills modules taught by knowledgeable and experienced faculty. Our programs are crafted to provide students with specialized modules that deepen their academic expertise in specific areas of study, while also fostering an understanding and appreciation of fundamental core subjects. These courses will equip students with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for success in their future careers.
