About Preparatory Program

In order to meet the admissions standards for our International Foundation Diploma program, AC&N Education offers a program of study for students who need additional preparation in the English language, mathematics, and science.

The decision on whether or not the Preparatory Program is required depends on the results of placement tests administered by the AC&N Education Centre at the time of registration.

Purpose

The Preparatory Program establishes a crucial academic foundation – basic language and math competencies – necessary for students to succeed in the Foundation Diploma Program at our Centre.

Sequence of Courses

The Preparatory Program classes build upon one another in a sequence. Students must internalize the subject matter, skills, strategies, and analytical attitudes of lower level classes before they can successfully participate in and benefit from higher level classes.

Program Goals

• English as a Foreign Language (EFL): to prepare students for success in the English medium environment of PMU by developing strong English-language skills in academic reading, writing, speaking and listening.
• Mathematics: to enhance students’ understanding of mathematics in the English language as well as to prepare them for the study of college level mathematics.
• Science: to enhance students’ understanding of science subjects in the English language.
