Foundation in Science - Overview
KPT / JPS ( KA 7920 ) 06 / 12 
This flexible programme exposes students to core science subjects and equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue undergraduate degrees in the fields of Engineering Science or Health Science.

"Learning by doing" is the philosophy embedded in this programme. Students are regularly challenged to put their knowledge to the test by completing actual projects. They learn in a dynamic environment where the teaching and learning process promotes two-way interaction and sharing of knowledge and resources with one another. Learning also takes place beyond the classroom walls through field trips, interactions with working professionals, participation in competitions, and many more.

At the end of the programme, students will be ready to take on a science-based degree and gain a host of valuable transferable skills.
