A degree with an integrated foundation is designed for students focusing on tertiary education soon after GCE (O/L). The duration of this pathway will be 4 years enabling a young student to finish an honors Degree by the age of 20 or 21. This is extremely effective when compared with the traditional route in which a student sits the A/L examination at the age of 19. A critical advantage is the opportunity to start employment very early in life compared to a student who pursues A/Ls.
