NIVERSITY College of Technology Sarawak (UCTS) is the culmination of Sarawak’s vision and commitment to establish a world-class institution of higher learning founded on science and technology.
UCTS aims to produce worldclass educational programmes and a learning environment that nurtures future creative and entrepreneurial leaders.
UCTS School of Foundation Studies offers two high- quality one-year programmes – Foundation in Science and Foundation in Arts. These foundation studies are affordable and provide excellent preparation for entry into degree programmes.

It focuses on developing good communication, leadership, social skills and an ethical attitude.

Other than classes on campus, outdoor academic visits are also organised. Students get to visit sites related to their studies such as a shipyard or organic farm.
To ensure the holistic development of its students, the UCTS Students Development and Services Department provides sports and recreational activities during weekday afternoons or weekends.
These activities include badminton, netball, basketball, cultural performances and dancing, jungle trekking, photography, video shooting and public speaking.
