Programme

MUFY provides students with a seamless and successful transition to university. The 70% coursework and 30% final exam format significantly reduces stress related to preparing for one major final exam. Instead, learning in MUFY is through a variety of continuous assessments. Students experience 21st century learning which combines face-to-face instruction with self-directed learning delivered on a digital platform.

Being non-discipline specific, students have the option of studying any combination of the 12 subjects offered, depending on their academic interest and university course requirements.

Choice of Subjects

MUFY offers a choice of 12 subjects, enabling students to select subjects based on their interest and university course preference.

Each subject is divided into Unit 1 and Unit 2. Students study the first half of a subject (Unit 1) in semester one and complete the second half (Unit 2) in semester two, making learning more manageable.
