ABOUT GFP

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the General Foundation Programme (GFP) of the International College of Engineering and Management ICEM. Here in ICEM GFP, we provide a supportive learning environment that enables our students to excel in their academic pursuit. Our vision is to help them to become independent lifelong learners. 

 

 ICEM GFP consists of three levels: Pre-Foundation, Foundation1, and Foundation 2. Students gain admission into our programme by either sitting for the college's entry test or transferring from other colleges. The students are placed into suitable levels according to the result of the entry test or transcript from their former colleges.

 

The Pre-Foundation level is the development period where students with little or no English are coached on how to properly dot their i's and cross their t's. Students who achieve success here move on to Foundation 1 and then 2. In levels 1 and 2, students branch out from an all English Syllabus into other subjects that include Mathematics, Science and Information Technology. In all these levels, our key strength lies in Study Skills, which not only helps students to master their cognitive skills but also to enter their own study domains.

 

Apart from our academic programmes, ICEM GFP also offers students the opportunity to discover their abilities and capabilities through interesting and exciting extracurricular activities. We have achieved many successes and will continue to strive towards academic excellence.

 

I hope that as students, you will take advantage of the many opportunities and challenges that we offer you and that with a strong instruction programme, the support from the staff, a clear road map and adequate expectations, you will get started on the realization of your career dreams.

 

Welcome to our world.
