INTRODUCTION

INSCI has extensive experience in the development and implementation of international English taught academic programs. Moreover, we have an intimidate understanding of the difficulties facing non-English speaking or English as a second language students.

To ensure students who wish to participate in our international academic programmes have the pre-requisite knowledge and ability to apply their English skills effectively, we designed the Science Foundation Program.

After almost a decade creating educational opportunities for students in Asia Pacific we are confident that our foundation syllabus provides the optimum learning outcome for our students in preparation for entry into English based degree programmes. INSCI worked closely with the University of Bradford, UK in developing and implementing world class academic programmes in Asia Pacific.

INSCI objective of "making knowledge work" is reflected by its industry relevant programmes and in having one of the highest employment rates for students graduating from its programs.

RATIONALE AND PROGRAMME BENEFITS

Science Foundation Program (SFP) has been designed to provide prospective undergraduate students with the pre-requisite knowledge needed for successful enrolment and academic progression through British degree programmes. It is particularly suited to those students who plan to enroll in life science degree programmes or non-science professionals who are preparing for career prospects in the life science industry sector. SFP participants can expect a progressive development of both their technical knowledge and their ability to apply the English language. Students who successfully complete this program are deemed to have met the pre-requisite knowledge requirements and initial literacy requirements for direct entry into most degree programs offered in countries such as the UK and Australia

It develops the student's functional literacy within an academic context. In this regard, particular attention is given to the development of skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking, which are deemed necessary for success at university.
