Centre for Foundation Studies

The Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS), established in 2002, offers MQA-approved Advanced Certificate (Level IV) foundation programs for students not meeting direct entry requirements for undergraduate degrees. The CFS provides three main pathways: Foundation Studies in Business, Humanities, and Science.

The Business program offers students a comprehensive understanding of business, economics, and accounting, while developing skills in decision-making, problem-solving, and information management. It aims to build a strong foundation in business knowledge and transferable skills for degree-level studies.

The Humanities program provides a pathway for students with three subjects at IGCSE O’Level/SSC who wish to pursue humanities undergraduate courses at MNU. It equips students with essential skills for a smooth transition to higher education and offers progression to degrees in psychology, law, Sharia, Dhivehi language, international relations, hospitality, tourism, and teaching.

The Science program prepares students for bachelor’s programs by developing a strong foundation in scientific principles. It meets international standards and helps students gain the skills needed for success in their future degrees.
