UAEU accepts students on the Foundation Year Accelerated Program

The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) accepted new students to the Foundation Year Accelerated Program.

Ms. Amenah Al Balushi, Director of the Admissions Department, welcomed the students to UAEU and wished them well in their studies. She described the program, which is part of UAEU’s plan to reduce the number of students enrolling in the Foundation Year. The program includes foundational courses in Arabic and Mathematics. Students will be tested in these courses and then evaluated to decide whether or not they need to enroll. Students in this program have achieved high marks in the CEPA exam; exceeding 180, with at least 500 in TOEFL or a band 5 in IELTS.

Passing the program requires taking two exams: the first is Mathematics, which is divided into two tests. The first test is in algebra and the second test is in trigonometry. Students should obtain at least 60% in algebra and 50% in trigonometry. A pass in the Arabic language exam requires 60%.

Students who pass the tests will be exempt from the Foundation Program, and will join their specializations directly. Students who do not pass will attend the Foundation Year Accelerated Program, which will run for three weeks from July 26^th to August 13^th.
