This course is specially designed for the foreign students who do not have the necessary requirements for the undergraduate programs and also it helps to enable students to bridge the gap between school and university. Foundation Studies Course offers a range of study units relating to the special subject requirements of the course the student intends to apply for.

Professional development is intended to encourage student confidence and independent learning. LSMU's Foundation Year course streams include key preparatory studies aimed at specific LSMU degrees - for example, the Health Sciences stream preparing for entry into LSMU's professional degrees such as Medicine, Dentistry, Pediatrics and Pharmacy. The following subjects are taught in the foundation course: Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Studies and Mathematics.

Teacher consultation times are provided outside class time, so that along with the tutorials, each student has considerable opportunity to receive individual attention. Classes are conducted in the university as well as in our new purpose built building. Students have full use of all university resources, including all libraries, recreational facilities, accommodation, computer suites and student services.
