Foundation Program Unit

“The Foundation Program was super helpful; it gave me a strong knowledge base and set me up for success in my program. I learned so much and it made me feel more confident in my studies. It was definitely a valuable experience.”

“I was in two levels of the Foundation Program and it was a good experience. The instructors were amazing and they helped me prepare for my program. Now, I am studying IT. The Foundation Program helped me to become more fluent and have more confidence. I learned how to do proper presentations and improve my speaking skills. I am now able to speak more easily as well as identify the main ideas while listening to lectures. I learned these skills in the Foundation Program.”

“During my journey though the Foundation Program, I learned a lot of new things, and I improved my English a lot. The program helped me develop my vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and writing. Now, I am reaping the benefits after entering my major. I learned so much vocabulary in the foundation courses and I encounter these words often in my studies. I feel very prepared. Now, if I see a student who does not see the benefits of being in the Foundation Program, I tell them how lucky they are to have this opportunity to learn all the skills they need before they enter their major. I think it is an important stage for anyone who needs to develop their English language.”

“My experience in the Foundation Program was truly life-changing. It provided a smooth transition into higher education, allowing me to easily understand complex math concepts. The supportive instructors ensured I stayed on track and addressed any challenges I faced. Completing the program was a significant milestone, equipping me with confidence and skills for my bachelor’s degree. I’m grateful for the transformative impact it had on my life, empowering me to approach future endeavors with enthusiasm and determination.”

"Being part of the UDST faculty is real satisfaction and privilege for me. The Foundation Program is a unique chance for teaching international students who are highly motivated, interested and eager to learn more, which makes it a pleasure to teach. UDST gives everyone great teaching and learning experience in a very friendly atmosphere."

"I would recommend the Foundation Program to all students. This program has helped me rediscover my love of learning. My confidence was quite low when I joined the university but I have found all the program’s aspects very supportive. I am actually beginning to believe in myself."

"As a new Math instructor in the foundation program, I would like to share the following:

1. It is a great experience teaching in the foundation program, as I am constantly looking for areas of growth through the help I received from my colleagues, coordinators, and managers. 
2. I am enjoying teaching this foundation level for university students where they interact in the best possible way that enables them to succeed in their future courses and careers."
