This programme has been specially designed to prepare fresh grade school leavers for the technical and theoretical modules of business. It is a one-year bridging programme covering a range of subjects that form the core competencies required to pursue a degree qualification in this industry.
The Limkokwing Foundation programme is specifically designed for students to enter University immediately after high school. Equivalent to an STPM/ Yr12/‘A’ Levels qualification, students will access Limkokwing’s wide range of undergraduate Bachelor’s Degree programmes upon successful completion of the Foundation year.
However, it is compulsory for students enrolling into a design or multimedia related programme to undertake the Foundation programme unless they have a portfolio for assessment of prior learning, demonstrating their grasp of basic skills.
Every student of the Foundation programme will enter a stream related to their studies as they proceed to their degree programme. They won’t have to study subjects not related to their planned career line. Key focus for all Foundation programmes are on developing skills in ICT, business and management skills.
The Foundation programme relies on intensive English training that is applied through communication modules of the programme. Native English speakers can spend more time on professional writing, reporting, creative writing, etc.
Students who have completed a recognized STPM/ Yr12 /A’ Levels or equivalent higher certificate or diploma programme with the required subjects and credits may be exempted from the Foundation programme upon review of their past results.
