Find everything you need to know about applying to USEK and taking the first step toward your undergraduate studies.
Submit your application through the USEK online application.
Take the required entrance exam. Your score determines your English placement and the Foundation courses you need.
Based on your entrance exam score, you will be placed at the appropriate English proficiency level.
Students who score below 55 must complete Basic English (FENG101) through the Foundation Program, while those placed at higher levels complete their English courses within their chosen academic program.
After completing the Foundation requirements, the Registrar transfers you to your chosen undergraduate program.
USEK’s Foundation Program helps high school graduates prepare for university without having to take a gap year.
Over one or two semesters, students can strengthen their knowledge in subjects they find challenging, improve their English proficiency, and develop the skills needed for their chosen undergraduate program.
Students can join voluntarily or enroll if they do not meet certain admission requirements.
You can apply for the Foundation Program if you have one of the following backgrounds:
