I would also like to welcome you to explore our website and discover interesting programmes and courses offered at this college university, particularly at this faculty.  FOLAFS at KUIPSAS currently offers three programmes:  Bachelor of English Studies with Instructional Leadership, Diploma in English and Foundation in Human Sciences (ASASI Sains Kemanusiaan). The Bachelor programme, which starts this semester, trains students in leadership skills supported strongly by English language proficiency, particularly at the workplace and focuses on producing future teacher leaders and instructional trainers. The Diploma programme provides students knowlegde and skills in areas pertaining to the practical use of the English Language, particularly at the workplace.  The Foundation in Human Sciences, which is a one-year programme, equips students with essential knowledge and skills to prepare them to pursue a Bachelor programme in any of the faculties in KUIPSAS and in other selected universities.

 

Major emphasis is placed on students’ ability to communicate effectively, to think critically and creatively, to deliberate on issues in real work environments, and to solve problems amicably such that their leadership talents and potentialites emerge in real life situations.

 

With training in understanding the various aspects of Muslim life traditions, and strengthened by vigorous efforts to master the knowledge of Quran, Sunnah and Islamic Fiqh, the graduates of this Diploma programme possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and more importantly, wisdom, to transform society in many positive ways.

 

For parents who want their children to receive adequate training in English communication skills and to master necessary soft skills, coupled with the knowledge of Islamic studies, you should seriously consider FOLAFS as your children’s academic destination.
