Overseas High School
Leaving Certificates are often not recognized by British Universities which
insist UK G.C.E S Levels are passed with high grades which might take two
years or more with retakes. The University Foundation course though takes
only one academic year to complete and gives guaranteed entry to a UK
University.
Choices
of Universities
Some Foundation courses
give entry only to one university or degree course whilst others have no
formal agreements with universities. The KCB Foundation course is unique in
that it was designed by a group of Universities which guarantee successful LCB students entry to the Year 1 of degrees in: Business Studies, Marketing,
Business Information Management.
Subject
Familiarities
Students taking A
Levels in many cases choose their degree course without ever having studied
the subject before which can lead to the choice of the wrong degree. On the
University Foundation Course the degree subjects, for which the course
qualifies students, are part of the course itself and so students can decide
which subjects they prefer before not after joining University!
Continuous
Assessment
Research has shown that
in many cases A Levels, with the traditional unseen end of year exams, rely
too much on memory and factual recall, together with luck if what the
students has revised appears in the exam! In the University Foundation
Course, students are assessed throughout the year by a combination of
coursework and examinations, which is the same as at University.
Multiple
Dates of Enrolment
Most A Level and
Foundation courses start only in September but the KCB University Foundation
course is divided into two parts (Semester A & B) which can be taken in
either order. Students therefore starting in September finish the University
Foundation course in June while those who start in January finish in
September and so both groups begin their University course in October of the
same year.
