Science Foundation Provision (SFP) O SFP provides additional learning support in the qualifications and modules which are marked as SFP. O This support is provided in the form of tutorials within each module, and in the form of mentorship and assistance in English language, mathematics, information and computer literacies.

O Foundation provision does not change the curriculum in the qualification; all students registered for a qualification go through the same curriculum, and obtain the same qualification, the difference being the additional learning support that is provided at the 1 st level modules. O The purpose of Science Foundation Provision is to improve the success rate in science programmes and hence increase the throughput of our science students. O SFP identified students are restricted to 36 credits per semester.
