Foundation Program

All applicants are required to take the KCST Entrance Test at the admission stage. If an applicant does not obtain the minimum required scores in the Entrance Test for direct entry into the degree program, he/she will need to attend Foundation Program, at the Level determined by the University.

The Foundation Program is offered at two levels, each with the duration of one semester. Each Foundation Program level has four courses: English, Math’s, Physics and Introduction to IT. A student admitted to the Foundation Program is required to pass all the assigned courses in order to be eligible to enroll in the BSc or BEng programs.

The goal of the Foundation Program is to help a student achieve a level of proficiency that is expected for starting the BSc or BEng programs. It provides an opportunity for the student to catch up on material that may not have been included in his/her high school curriculum, and to review material contained in the best high school curricula.
