School of Integrated Sciences (SIS)

A Foundation for Life!

The Foundation in Science programme is a one year -three semester programme tailored to equip students with the quality pre-University education, knowledge and skills they need to excel in future undergraduate programmes.

Education Pathway

Experiential

Learning through a steady stream of real-world projects is how we believe students learn best.

BIOLOGY WORKSHOP

A workshop meant to expose the students to various elements of biology such as plant biotechnology, applied entomology and cloning. During the first half of the event, FIS students re-enacted a scene from a Crime Scene Investigation. They were exposed to forensic investigative techniques to solve crime using principles in forensic entomology. The day was continued with a plant tissue culture laboratory session where the FIS students were taught the basic principles of conservation followed by a hands-on session in plant tissue culture techniques.

CAREER DAY

FIS students were exposed to various career paths in the field of STEM. Various faculties came to brief the foundation students on their respective courses as well as practical sessions were demonstrated. The students even had their own feel of futuristic gadgets and real-time laboratory experiments.

ECOLOGICAL STUDIES

Students explored basic principles of ecology by analyzing various biosis and abiosis component in the ecosystem. Students successfully acquired skills to identify species and their abundance by using ecological instruments and apparatus.

FRONTIER STUDIES EXHIBITION

A platform for the students to demonstrate the knowledge that they have learned throughout their foundation studies under five components of science i.e. (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Information Technology).

TRIP TO OTHER FACULTIES

3/12/2019 (FOP) 17/12/2019 (FOM)

To expose the FIS students on career opportunities awaits in the medical and pharmaceutical field.

CAREER DAY - 2021

A platform for the students to demonstrate the knowledge that they have learned throughout their foundation studies under five components of science i.e. (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Information Technology).

Engagement

Through social responsibility, whether in-house or community-based, is essential to building character and civic mindedness.

PARENTS-LECTURE FEEDBACK SESSION

During this feedback session, parents of the Foundation students were invited to meet on a one-to-one basis the lecturers who teach. The FIS lecturers provided valuable feedback as well as discussed the academic performances of the FIS students.

FIS GOT TALENT

DIGITAL STORYTELLING

To provide training on basic computer skills by coaching SPM leavers to create a digital storytelling workboard

3 MIN SCI STORY

To encourage school students to challenge themselves to “speak” science in just 3 minutes

FIS HOMECOMING

FIS Homecoming 1.0

To expose the current FIS students to various degree programs offered in QIU and the possible career pathways after completing their foundation studies.

FIS Homecoming 2.0

To invite FIS alumni to share their FIS experience and degree pathways as well as their careers

Enrichment
