Curtin’s Foundation intake extended to Sept 11

KOTA KINABALU: Curtin Malaysia is extending its Semester 2, 2017 Foundation Programme intake to September 11 to cater to school-leavers keen to enter its foundation programmes in Engineering and Science, Commerce or Arts.

Mini-orientation sessions and a special schedule of classes are available for new students who may have missed the current orientation activities on campus for foundation students who have already enrolled, with classes set to commence on August 14.

Curtin Malaysia’s foundation programmes are intensive, focused programmes aimed at ensuring students attain academic requirements to enter undergraduate programmes, and are able to adapt to university life more confidently, both in terms of level and style of education.

The students are guaranteed places in the undergraduate programmes of their choice in the university’s Faculty of Engineering and Science, Faculty of Business or Faculty of Humanities upon successful completion of the one-year Foundation programmes.

Students benefit from low studentlecturer ratios in classrooms and a variety of modern, diversified teaching methods including workshops, tutorials, laboratory projects and group work.

They are also taught by highly experienced lecturers in modern, vibrant learning spaces and have access to various academic and personal support mechanisms such as one-on-one consultations with academic staff and numerous modules conducted through the Office of Learning and Teaching.

As Curtin Malaysia applies its ‘triple-i’curriculum model which embeds industry links, intercultural and indigenous awareness and interdisciplinary study into each course curriculum, learning is not confined to classrooms and students can find learning beyond the classroom just as rewarding.
