University Preparation Program

Most English-speaking education systems require international students to take an additional year of secondary school studies known as a "University Foundation Year".

The University Preparation Program is designed for secondary school graduates who wish to proceed to higher education but lack the language skills required for entry into the first year of an undergraduate degree program.

This course aims to bridge the gap between students' previous learning style, education, experience, culture and what is expected at a university program at SHINES.

The main program is a 6-month Certificate Program that thoroughly prepares you for a University program conducted in English. The certificate program covers the following modules:

• Business Communication
• Key Business Practice
• IT Skills

Entry Requirement:
- GCE 'N'/'O' level or its equivalent

English Proficiency:
IELTS 5.0 / TOEFL 450 or completed SHINES Intensive English Upper-Intermediate Level

Applicants who do not meet this requirement may require intensive English preparation prior to the commencement of the main program.

Successful completion of this program guarantees acceptance into SHINES Diploma/Advanced Diploma programs and subsequent progression to the final year of an undergraduate degree program with one of our partner universities.
