USP PROGRAMS<br />
Preliminary Programs<br />
Preliminary programs are aimed at mature<br />
entrants who have left school early but who<br />
now wish to re-commence studying. In<br />
addition students from USP member countries<br />
who have not performed well in their Form 6<br />
(or equivalent) examinations can take c<strong>our</strong>ses<br />
for a USP Preliminary Program in either science<br />
or social science, with the aim of then moving<br />
on to a Foundation Program. Preliminary<br />
c<strong>our</strong>ses are offered only by <strong>distance</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>flexible</strong> <strong>learning</strong>.<br />
Foundation Programs<br />
Foundation Programs form a pathway to<br />
degree-level study at USP. Students entering<br />
the USP Foundation Programs will normally<br />
have passed a University Senate-approved<br />
Form 6 examination (or equivalent), or have<br />
completed a USP Preliminary Program.<br />
Students enrol in either the Foundation<br />
Science Program or the Foundation Social<br />
Science Program, depending on the subjects<br />
they studied at secondary school (or in the<br />
Preliminary program), <strong>and</strong> also the degree<br />
program they want to pursue once they<br />
complete their Foundation studies. Students<br />
hoping to do a degree at USP or another<br />
university on completion of a Foundation<br />
program should make sure they register for the<br />
prerequisite c<strong>our</strong>ses needed for their intended<br />
further studies. Foundation c<strong>our</strong>ses are offered<br />
only by <strong>distance</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>flexible</strong> <strong>learning</strong>.<br />

Enrolment Guide. Generally admission to<br />
