The world has become globally interconnected. Different skills and abilities are valued today: productivity, curiosity and resilience. It is the international experience which is likely to develop these skills in students. The International Foundation Programme prides itself in being the most culturally diverse and increasingly popular programme at Middlesex University Mauritius. It is not unusual to be sharing a classroom with students from Brazil, Italy, Germany, Norway, Zambia, Seychelles, India, Tanzania, Nigeria, Madagascar to name but a few. Learning in a multicultural classroom prepares students to become global citizens prepared for international career opportunities and differing worldviews.
The international foundation programme has been an excellent journey to strengthen my academic skill set and also it has been a great experience.
