Since the curriculum is designed by the individual schools, each one has direct control of students' progression into the various undergraduate degree programmes and the responsibility to set and maintain academic quality.
Exposure to Discipline-Specific Subjects The curriculum of each foundation programme includes subjects that are related to that particular field of study to give you essential fundamentals and expose you to your field of interest from early on.
