ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

Foundation Studies is better understood as a preparatory course to prepare you for the degree programme. Tertiary education will be a lot different from what you have been used to in school and Foundation Studies will help you to adapt yourself before you commit to pursuing a degree later on. While some of you may already know exactly what you want to pursue after leaving secondary school, others may still be weighing a few options that they should go for. In either case, you will find Foundation Studies at IUKL a good start.

Is this programme for me?

For school leavers who have already decided on what field to pursue and should you prefer a faster pathway to your degree, this 1 year intensive programme is the best route for you.

If you have yet to decide on what you want to do after you finish school, IUKL Foundation Studies is the best choice to keep your option open and gain entry into your Bachelor’s programmes. You will be equipped with the subject knowledge and skills you will need for your preferred degree programmes.

What should I expect?

IUKL Foundation in Arts is designed to keep the options open. The idea is to provide students a wider range of programmes to select at the Bachelor’s Degree level. The open option is important as many SPM and O-Level students can only decide after their foundation year.

Being in the Foundation Programme at IUKL allows me to explore a lot of exciting things. I not only learn subjects taught in class but I also build confidence by interacting with others. I would surely recommend my friends and family to study here in the future.

  • I got to know about IUKL during an education fair that was held in my hometown. At IUKL, learning is not only about attending classes but we get to go outdoors and see how things are actually done, and I enjoy it very much! The dedicated lecturers helps me a lot as I can always seek their advice from time to time. I was given the chance to participate in The Floria Putrajaya competition which was a valuable experience for me.

  • I found out about IUKL online and I learned more about this university when I went to an education fair. I chose to study here because it is one of the universities that offers a degree in logistics. I have been here for only two semesters, but I am enjoying my time here very much. The lecturers who teach me have lots of experience and the environment is peaceful. One of the subjects that I find interesting is psychology because I get to learn human behavior. I find that humans are comple, and I feel like I can understand people a little better now. I like to read, so sometimes during my free time, I’ll read newspapers and go to bookstores. I have also joined the Chinese Society here in IUKL to socialise. I can’t wait to continue on with my degree and study logistics soon.

  • When I came to study in IUKL in November, 2018. I was so excited to be here. It was my dream to study in Malaysia. Firstly I had to take the Intensive English Programme. My Intenstive English Programme (IEP) lecturers were so supportive and kind. They prepared us for the IELTS test, which I thought I cannot do well. But working hard and continuous learning helped me and my dream came true. I achieved score of 6.0 in my IELTS test and I was happy. Thanks to Ms Zeena and the other lecturers who supported and helped us to achieve our goals. Thanks to IEP!

  • It was a challenge for me to choose a course for my further studies. It was a real struggle back then. Then, I realized that I love nature and arts. I sought the advice of my family and lecturers. They inspired me to pursue my passion. Foundation in Arts (Architecture Option) is a one-year programme. This programme helps to develop critical thinking, theory and practical aspects of Architecture, and also language skills. The best part about my course is I have gained experience in the Architecture field and am able to socialize and mix around with people from different backgrounds, culture and tradition. It also helps to boost my confidence in making presentations.
