The course in Pre-Foundation Studies (CPFS) is designed for students of Tashkent lyceums/colleges who wish to study at Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT). The main purpose of the CPFS is to improve English and Mathematical skills of future entrants to WIUT. The modules are delivered in part-time mode, where the same Academic Quality Assurance process and academic delivery structure with WIUT university courses are applied. The classes are held in the first or second halves of a day, depending on the time of classes for students in their lyceums/colleges. The modules are divided into 2 Levels: CPFS Level 1 and Level 2. Upon successful completion of both modules at CPFS Level 2, students can apply for the entrance to Level 3 – International Foundation Studies – which is the first year of the University studies.
