UCB holds Monash Foundation orientation programme for new students

Orientation session for the Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) program’s 9th intake was held by Universal College Bangladesh (UCB) on 14 July, 2024. This has been the second batch of 2024 after the successful orientation of the first intake in January 2024, reports a press release.

The orientation gave students and their parents a thorough introduction to the world-famous MUFY programme and introduced them to international standards of teaching and learning applied by Monash and UCB.

Alongside the student orientation, there was also a dedicated parent orientation to explain the various MUFY programme options and explain how students who complete MUFY can study at Monash and a range of world class universities.

On behalf of UCB, dean of academic affairs professor Muhammad Ismail Hossain along with president and provost professor Hew Gill warmly welcomed the parents and students.

Representatives from Monash attending the orientation included Azra Karim, university marketing, admissions and communications, Monash University, and Daniel Lum, international recruitment and development, marketing and future students, Monash University, Malaysia. 

The Monash team shared essential information about studying MUFY and the many Monash programmes available in Australia and Malaysia. Students also received a detailed overview session on what to expect from the MUFY programme from Ambreen Zaman, senior lecturer and MUFY programme coordinator.

Professor Hew Gill said, “UCB MUFY results in Dhaka are now better than Monash results in Australia.  MUFY offers a guaranteed pathway to a world top 40 university for every student who passes, and all our students pass.”

“Our enrolments are growing, and our success is definitely inspiring more local youths to step forward and pursue their dreams of world-class education here, in Bangladesh. We are very proud that UCB offers all our students a local path to the best international universities, and to career success,” he added.
