The University Foundation Program

Our year-long, intensive, residential University Foundation Program (UFP) helps students build the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary to successfully apply for scholarships and pursue university studies abroad.  The program offers a unique combination of university foundation courses and service-learning opportunities to enrich students' learning experience and encourage social responsibility through community outreach projects.  This approach provides students with a community context to their education, enabling them to connect their academic coursework and goals to the needs of their communities.
Taught by native-English speakers as well as experienced Myanmar teachers, our  courses are designed to prepare students in public speaking, critical thinking and English composition.
