PROGRAM DETAILS

The undergraduate programmes require students to complete 123 credits. Upon their enrolment in the University, students undergo foundation tests that examine their ability to start their academic courses. Students who do not pass these tests enter a foundation programme in the Centre of Preparatory Studies during their first year. The foundation program qualifies students in English language, mathematics, and information technology. Students who start their degree in the foundation programme are expected to finish the B.Sc. programme within five years. Students going through without the foundation programme are expected to complete the B.Sc. programme in four years. During the first two years, students take the general courses in business and management that are required by the College, in addition to courses required by the University. After completing all the required pre-major courses, students apply for the major programme in which they wish to specialise.
