Foundation In Arts (Social Sciences And Liberal Arts)
About
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is transforming the job landscape, with one-third of today’s skills expected to change or become obsolete. In this era of rapid change, lifelong learning, upskilling, and reskilling are essential. UCSI University’s Foundation in Arts programmes are designed to foster holistic development, equipping students with strong numerical and communication skills, as well as multidisciplinary thinking and analytical abilities. Through innovative teaching methods, students are encouraged to explore issues critically rather than simply memorising facts. Interactive discussions and evaluations prepare students to articulate ideas effectively in academic settings. With guidance from distinguished professors and experienced industry practitioners, students benefit from small-group, student-focused learning that nurtures independence and prepares them for success in undergraduate programmes such as Mass Communication.
