Course Objective
The objectives of this programme are to:
1. Produce students with the knowledge, competence and skills to cope with the demands of the University’s degree programmes, particularly in the area of Engineering.
2. Foster a positive approach to the acquisition of knowledge and skills in order to promote lifelong learning.
3. Build a foundation/bridging gaps, for foreign students to access higher education in Uganda.
4. Provide for an access route into Higher Education programmes in Physical Science at ISBAT University for students who have successfully completed the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE) or its equivalent but who may not have attained sufficient grades to enroll for Diplomas or Degree programmes in Uganda.
