This solid Mathematical foundation opens the road to advanced studies in fields such asEngineering, Economics, Data Science, and Actuarial Science, preparing students for a wide range of professional opportunities in academia, technology, and finance.

Programme Structure

Semester 1:

Gateway to Higher Learning

A 21-week program introducing Further Studies (FS) modules focused on higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and knowledge application. It fosters academic discipline, study techniques, and digital literacy, while also promoting resilience and coping strategies for university life. The curriculum includes Further Studies Mathematics, Further Studies Science, and the KYB Advanced Reading Programme, with internal and IEB examinations. Support structures include mentorship, peer study groups, and academic and wellness support, providing tutoring, mental health counselling, and academic advisory services for personal and academic growth.

Integrates various components such as classroom sessions, introductory safety workshops, and foundational theoretical modules to establish a strong educational base. As students progress, they engage in advanced practical workshops, collaborative group projects, and individual assignments designed to enhance their expertise and deepen their understanding. The initial months focuses on core trade principles, basic concepts, and essential safety practices, whereafter students advance to developing in-depth technical skills, mastering problem-solving strategies, and applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios.
