Students are exposed to a range of topics in the humanities so they can appreciate the depth and subtlety of human nature and experience. Students completing the Raffles University Iskandar Foundation are well placed to enter the degree programmes in their respective disciplines. Emphasis is placed on communication and study skills because these are essential for professional practice after students graduate from their degree programmes, as well as assisting them to successfully complete their studies.

The Foundation programme prepares students for entry into their chosen bachelor degree.
