Foundation Mathematics - In this course, students study the basic concepts of limits, differential and integral calculus, differentiation of polynomial, exponential and log functions, concepts of maxima, minima, inflections, product, quotient, chain rules, the anti-derivative, fundamental theorem of calculus and methods of integration. In addition, students will review basic definitions of trigonometric functions and rules.

Foundation Chemistry I – Introduces students to the basic concepts of chemistry. The topics covered include matter and energy, atomic structure, chemical periodicity, structure and bonding in compounds, inorganic nomenclature, chemical calculations, properties of gases, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, organic chemistry and the chemistry of the earth.

Foundation Chemistry II – Students solve chemical problems using concepts and mathematical techniques. In addition, they will study the application of chemistry in selected fields, together with their social and economic aspects. Students will also develop communication skills including recording and reporting of practical work, researching a chemical topic and oral presentation of a research assignment. This course will develop students’ ability to understand the link between theory and experiment. It will show the interrelationship between the development of the subject and its application and recognize the value of chemistry to society.

Foundation Physics – Intended to provide students who have little or no previous knowledge of physics with an introduction to simple physical concepts and the laws that underlie them to help us understand nature and the many technologies we have invented to improve and extend our life. Topics of study include forms of energy, mass, velocity, accelerations, fluids, heat, entropy, electrical circuits, waves, sounds, and lights. This course uses frequent examples of problem-based learning and comprises a mix of lectures, tutorials, and laboratory sessions.

Foundation Biology I – Will provide students with the necessary foundational knowledge and skills to continue studies in biology and the pre-medical program. Students will have the necessary biological language ability to enter pre-med including reading and comprehending a college text, summarizing text material and identifying key concepts. Through the study of basic cellular level process, students can advance to organism and population level study.

Foundation Biology II – Students will be able to apply their fundamental knowledge in Biology for higher-level learning and critical thinking. This includes applying a concept to a novel situation, analyzing a situation and synthesizing central ideas and making connections between concepts. Students will actively apply their cellular level knowledge at organism and population levels.
