The "Foundation Programme (Business, Finance & Social Sciences Route)" is a popular one-year pre-university course for SPM/O-Level/UEC holders in Malaysia. It is a comprehensive bridge to bachelor's degrees in business administration, accounting, finance, economics, psychology, communication, and international relations.
The curriculum provides a firm grounding in core subjects such as Introduction to Business, Principles of Accounts, Fundamentals of Finance, and Economics. It also heavily emphasizes academic English, critical thinking, and research skills, preparing students for university-level academic rigor.
Numerous private universities and colleges offer these MQA-accredited programs, and they guarantee progression to their respective undergraduate degrees. With multiple intakes annually and generally more affordable fees than international pre-university options, Malaysian foundation programs offer a flexible, quality, and recognized pathway for students to pursue diverse careers in the global business and social sciences landscape.
