Description:
Introduction to degree course was developed in response to high dropout and failure rates of university students.
The program fully supports successful progression of students from high school to undergraduate study and beyond.
This course introduces students to a degree, giving students a frame work and direction in their area of study.
We are well aware that if students fail to understand the foundation of the subject they are likely to lose interest in the subject that is why this course was
designed to make it easier for students. The course is equipped with most of the learning materials required by students to understand their degree program.
This course was developed in consultation with universities at global. The course is designed to give students a deeper knowledge and understanding of the degree.
The course is designed to enhance the creativity and critical thinking skills that are needed by students to develop their own ideas at University
standard. Taking students step by step, to simplify and to explain the degree.
The course equips students with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision before starting and during your studies enabling students to plan
ahead, minimizing student failure rates. The process makes knowledge transfer easier between students, universities, professionals, employers and research institutes
The aim of this course is not just to make learning easier, but also to help put qualification in to use. We understand that most
students at Universities fail not because they are “dumb” but, because they don’t get to understand what they are required to do.
