Taylor’s Foundation in Science is an ideal pre-university course for students wishing to pursue a degree in either Engineering Science or Health Science. It is designed by Taylor’s University to focus on the practical, academic and learning skills needed for future university science subjects. A project based learning method is used to help develop problem solving skills and give you a hands-on approach.

Apart from the above, the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) requires Malaysian students without a minimum of C in SPM Bahasa Malaysia, to take compulsory subjects in Bahasa Kebangsaan A. Further to that, Malaysian students are required to take Malaysian Studies and Moral (for non-Muslim) or Islamic Studies (for Muslims).

Health Science
This flexible programme exposes students to core science subjects and equips them with the knowledge and
skills necessary to pursue undergraduate degrees in the fields of Engineering Science or Health Science.
“Learning by doing” is the philosophy embedded in this programme. Students are regularly challenged to put
their knowledge to the test by completing actual projects. They learn in a dynamic environment where the
teaching and learning process promotes two-way interaction and sharing of knowledge and resources with
one another. Learning also takes place beyond the classroom walls through field trips, interactions with working
professionals, participation in competitions, and many more.
At the end of the programme, students will be ready to take on a science-based degree and gain a host of
valuable transferable skills.

Programme Structure
Creating an Edible Dye
FIS students create an edible
dye from organic sources like
vegetables and fruits to replace
the synthetic dye used in fabric
colouring.
Engineering a
Picoturbine Windmill
Students engineer a picoturbine
windmill which generates both
AC & DC utilising basic everyday
materials.
Designing a Solar/
Hybrid Car
Adopting ideas from
Formula 1, team FIS
designs a solar powered
car while exploring
factors affecting mobility,
speed and an electrical
feedback system.
Supportive and caring lecturersI like FIS because the subjects are well-arranged and we are guided to do hands-on learning. We are a small class and we study very well together. The lecturers give us a lot of support and ideas to upgrade ourselves. After joining FIS, I have improved a lot in terms of communication and interpersonal skills.

Integrated Science
The Foundation in
ScienceAdvantageExposure to Industrial Relevance Laboratory
Practical sessions and workshops are conducted in our tertiary high-level laboratory. Students’ gain more exposure to industrial relevance laboratory work and learning interest is enhanced.
Learning from Theory to Application
The programme provides a holistic approach in the education of science. It balances learning outcomes with actual experimentation on an Integrated Science Project that will require you to apply research tools and scientific concepts. You’ll be trained to become an independent learner that’s capable of generating proposal papers and designing prototypes for future applications.
Keep Abreast with the Latest Developments in Science and Technology
Students are kept up to date with the latest developments in science and technology through regular workshops conducted by guest lecturers from prestigious universities around the world. Career talks are also organised for students for better exposure and understanding of the science field.
This project provides a holistic approach to
science education that enhances application skills.
While learning components of the 3 sciences,
you will also perform 8-10 weeks of actual
experimentation on individual projects, with the end
result of generating a proposal paper and producing
a prototype of the project.
Improvements in soft skillsI was given the opportunity to work on various activities and projects, which taught me the meaning of teamwork and exposed me to the realities of working with people from different backgrounds. My presentation skills have improved through my involvement in the Integrated Science Project (ISP). Managing these projects allowed me to learn how I should utilise my limited resources to get work done within a timeline. As a result, my time management skills have shown drastic improvement.

A Balanced and Continuous Assessment
50% of evaluation is allocated to continuous assessment of ongoing assignments, research projects, quizzes, tests, oral presentation and laboratory practical reports. The other 50% is based on a final examination.
Learning from Experts and from the Field
The programme incorporates real life simulations and out-of-classroom field and study trips to help you better understand syllabus. Problem-solving skills are taught through Project-Based Learning, which constitutes of a hands-on approach that is effective and interactive.
Better presentation skills and exposureI chose Taylor’s because it has a solid Foundation In Science course which is related to engineering. The school has also produced many high achievers. The course provided an Integrated Science Project, which has helped me develop my presentation skills and gave me useful exposure working with lecturers from overseas institutions like the University of Melbourne and the University of London.

Students had fun preparing and orating their presentations in front of a large audience, and got the opportunity to brush up on their communication skills.
The students of the Foundation in Science programme at Taylor’s University engage in a variety of activities that better prepare them for their tertiary education, upon completion of their course.
