Foundation Science

The Foundation Science programme (FNSN) is designed to prepare students for degree studies in Science or other related undergraduate programmes. Students will learn basic fundamental science concepts and principles, develop necessary laboratory skills, and experimental procedures, problem solving and communication and problem solving skills. Students will also broaden their knowledge and views on global and Pacific environments.

The Foundation Science programme will offer the following courses:

Code	Course Title	Semester
LLF14	Foundation English A	1 and 2
LLF15	Foundation English B	1 and 2

CHF03	Foundation Chemistry B	2
CSF12	Foundation Computer Science	2
ISF21	Foundation Information Systems	1
PHF02	Foundation Physics A	1
PHF03	Foundation Physics B	2
CCF01	Foundation Climate Change	2

Note:

To complete the Foundation Science programme, students must pass LLF14, LLF15, MAF11, MAF12 and at leas two other courses from BIF02, BIF03, CHF02, CHF03, PHF02, PHF03, CSF12, ISF21. Other options to make up the 8 courses may be chosen from the following: LNF21, AFF01, AFF02, ECF04, OSF01, GEF01, GEF02, HYF01, PLF01, SOF01, SOF02 or may choose one from the following electives CCF01, EPF01, JNF01.
If a student is intending to take up Agriculture in degree studies, BIF02, BIF03, CHF02, CHF03 are compulsory; and for Engineering studies, PHF02 and PHF03 are compulsory.

Exemption for MAF11 and MAF12 for students intending to take undergraduate programmes that do not require Mathematics will need Head of College approval.
