Foundation in Science (Track A)
Awarded TAR UMT Merit Scholarship
"Enrolling in the Foundation in Science programme at TAR UMT allowed me to open a new chapter in my life. This programme offered me a wide range of opportunities and exposure, such as honing both my technical and practical skills through hands-on experience, as well as interacting with friendly and supportive lecturers.
I was given the opportunity to conduct various experiments, allowing laboratory work to become second nature rather than simply understanding theories from lecture notes. Experienced lecturers guided and motivated me in a positive way throughout the programme. In addition, I was able to participate in collaborative projects and interact with peers, whether through academic work or workshops. Thank you to TAR UMT for this incredible and exciting one-year journey."
Foundation in Computing
Awarded TAR UMT Merit Scholarship
"I am very grateful for my Foundation in Computing journey at TAR UMT. The vibrant learning environment, with its balance of academic rigour and exciting activities, made each day rewarding. Our lecturers were always ready to explain difficult concepts and encouraged us to ask questions, which really helped build my confidence in programming and problem-solving.
Beyond classroom learning, I enjoyed participating in group projects that made my studies more practical and engaging. The campus facilities were excellent as well, with well-equipped labs that supported hands-on learning. These experiences not only prepared me well for bachelor's degree but also helped me discover my passion for working with data. I appreciate how my foundation year gave me both the technical skills and the right mindset to succeed. The supportive community at TAR UMT truly made a difference in shaping my academic journey."
Foundation in Business
Awarded TAR UMT Merit Scholarship
"The Foundation Programme is the best way to help SPM graduates acclimatise to university life. It helped me recall what I learned in high school while also introducing new knowledge that will be very useful when pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Enrolling in the Foundation in Business at TAR UMT was truly the right choice, as I learned and gained so much throughout the foundation year.
Foundation also allowed me to expand my social network and develop my presentation and teamwork skills, which are very useful in bachelor’s degree. The lecturers and tutors are truly dedicated and always go the extra mile to ensure students fully understand the material. The Centre for Pre-University Studies also cares about our study-life balance by organising events and sending us love via care packages during festivals."
Foundation in Arts (Track A)
Awarded TAR UMT Merit Scholarship
"My Foundation year was a meaningful and eye-opening experience that laid a strong foundation for both my academic and creative development as an architecture student. I was able to explore various artistic disciplines that deepened my understanding of visual communication, design principles, and creative expression.
The environment at CPUS encouraged not only artistic growth but also critical thinking, collaboration, and self-discipline. I had the opportunity to improve alongside passionate peers and supportive lecturers who constantly encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. Foundation helped me build a strong platform in both theory and practical skills, preparing me for bachelor's degree. More than just an academic experience, it was a time of self-discovery, creativity, and building confidence to pursue my passion."

The engaging and interactive lessons conducted by professional lecturers made learning meaningful. I am also deeply grateful for the diverse and friendly community that made me feel involved and inspired.
