University Foundation Program
Also called Pre-University Program, the University Foundation Program (UFP) qualifies students who have completed SSC / ICSE / Grade 11 / GCE "O" Level to enter directly into year one of a university degree program. Completable in three semesters, the program works also for students who do not have the appropriate academic background or experience to gain access directly into a specific university program. Since its inception in 1995, hundreds of students have either completed the program and finished a degree in Dhaka or advanced to overseas institutions.

The launch was officiated by Bangladeshi Minister of Education, Mr. Nurul Islam Nahid, High Commissioner of Malaysia to Bangladesh, Mr. Jamaluddin Sabeh and UCSI University President, Peter T. S.
