Hear from Our Community

FIS here at IMU, in my opinion, was definitely the right choice; I'm currently 6 months in and loving every bit of it. There is a wide variety of modules in FIS that provide the opportunity for one to hone their leadership and critical thinking skills.

Cheeng Jong Jiun

Student

The faculty of FIS liaises with various schools offering undergraduate programmes at IMU to organise ‘Look, See, and Feel’ activities. These activities are extremely helpful in depicting the real-life pictures for each undergraduate programme for students to explore and know their interests.

My experience as a student and class representative in the FIS programme is one that I will forever treasure. As an international student from Singapore coming straight from IGCSE, I was incredibly young and nervous when I entered this course, but I was well supported, especially by the mentor-mentee programme.

Inarah Audi

Student

FIS has provided me with the strong fundamental knowledge of science, communication skills, and opportunities to improve myself through various activities. I was able to strengthen my critical thinking skills and leadership skills through the Cross Boundary Studies module which makes me well-prepared for undergraduate study.

Lee Chiu Ying

Student

My journey at IMU began in the Foundation in Science (FIS) programme, a pivotal experience that fostered my passion for medicine. The FIS programme at IMU combines core sciences with medical exposure, making it an ideal stepping stone for anyone aspiring to pursue an MBBS. I can confidently say that it gave me the upper hand during my early semesters in Medicine.

The best part of FIS is that I get to know many friends who share the same interest as me and share our ups and downs together. Being a scholar is also an amazing opportunity for me as I get to be involved in many volunteer activities and also be a part of IMU events.
