Foundation in Science
About
Students who complete the UM-Wales' Foundation in Science program are prepared to pursue degrees in information technology, engineering, science, technology, health, and mathematics. Students who complete this program will have a solid understanding of the fundamental scientific concepts they will need to succeed in their future endeavours thanks to practical exposure and a hands-on learning method.
Along with gaining a strong foundation in the fundamentals of science, students in this curriculum also gain other useful abilities like presenting skills, public speaking, and critical thinking. A lot of practical experience will be provided to the students, which is necessary for any student who wants to succeed in the scientific domain.
