Monash University
Foundation Year
The Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY)
is the university pathway program that provides
the academic bridge for students to transition
successfully into undergraduate studies at Monash
University. For many MUFY students, this program
serves as an academic and cultural bridge from
education in their home country to the social and
academic environment of an Australian university.
Designed by Monash academics, this Australian
Year 12 equivalent program allows admission into
the full range of Monash University undergraduate
degrees. Whether you are planning for a career
in medicine, business or information technology,
engineering or science, or the arts, MUFY has a
proven record of success and is the pathway for
you to follow.
With thousands of students worldwide wishing
to be admitted into this prestigious university,
it is reassuring to know that Monash University
guarantees admission to MUFY graduates who
meet entry requirements. Sunway University
College is the only provider of the MUFY
program in Malaysia.

MUFY: Passport to Monash

Just as Monash is a passport to a fulfilling career and rewarding life, MUFY is the passport to
a rich learning experience at Monash. The Monash approach to learning and
teaching gives students every opportunity to CHOOSE, EXPLORE, ACT, INVESTIGATE
and ENHANCE, and this experience begins at MUFY.

CHOOSE
Choice is central to the MUFY experience. MUFY students are free to choose from a broad
range of eleven subjects or twenty two units based on their interest and the degree they
wish to pursue at Monash. The fact that MUFY is offered on a semester or modular basis
also means that students can choose to vary their combination of subjects in each semester
instead of studying the same subjects throughout the duration of the program.
Although MUFY is essentially a two semester program, students who find the pace too
demanding can choose to complete it over three semesters or more. Students also have a
choice of four intakes and this gives them the flexibility to join MUFY at almost any time of the year.
As Monash ranks among the top fifty universities in the world, MUFY is a widely recognised
university foundation program. As such, students who have completed MUFY have a broad
choice of universities to consider, apart from Monash.

 MUFY: Passport to Monash

EXPLORE
Because MUFY leads to a wide range of study options at Monash, students are encouraged to
carefully explore those options so that they will select the course that fulfils their potential.
Monash Information Week : features a series of talks where Monash academics share their
knowledge on the full range of courses offered and their career prospects.
Job Shadow Day : gives students the chance to ‘shadow’ or follow an employee in a company
as they perform their job. This way, students get a personalised, one-on-one lesson on a
particular career, as well as a good overview of the work environment.

Educational Trips : by visiting companies that are linked to the undergraduate courses that they
are considering pursuing, students gain first hand knowledge of these organisations and this
helps them to decide on what to study at Monash.
International Community : studying in MUFY is not just about getting equipped for
undergraduate studies and exploring study options. With about a third of the student
population being made up of international students, it is also an excellent opportunity to
gain insights into new cultures and experience life in a global community.

INVESTIGATE
MUFY is committed to developing in each student an inquiring mind that provides a
head start to undergraduate studies at Monash. To prompt students to investigate,
question and discover, MUFY requires students to undertake a variety of coursework
which includes research projects, assignments, report writing and presentations.
These forms of assessment introduce students to academic research and provide
them with the opportunity to develop basic research skills which are essential for
undergraduate studies.

ACT
The MUFY philosophy of education stresses the importance of
developing oneself not solely for one’s own benefit but for the
benefit of the whole community. Activities like the annual “SHARITY”
Carnival which raises funds for under privileged children, and
projects carried out with welfare organisations create awareness
about the needs of the community and challenge students to
respond to these needs. This way, students are able to make a
direct tangible difference to the quality of life of others while
benefiting from the MUFY experience.

ENHANCE
MUFY works in partnership with the various academic schools at Monash to create
opportunities for students to get a taste of university life, either by helping to organise or by
participating in activities such as biotechnology seminars, IT projects, robotics experiments
and essay-writing competitions.
MUFY also invests significantly in technology to allow for a more exciting, effective and
efficient approach to teaching and learning. The “Blackboard” which links students and
teachers in a virtual community not only enhances the sharing of knowledge in the class
room but also allows discussion and communication to take place at the convenience of
both parties. To facilitate classroom instruction, “interactive smartboards” and “visualisers”
are employed.
The availability of close to fifty clubs and societies on campus combined with MUFY
extra-curricular activities truly enhance student life in MUFY, making it an enjoyable and
outstanding study experience.

Program Information

Duration of study
Students should complete this full-time program in two semesters. However, students have the option of extending the duration of
study, for instance, to three semesters if they find it too demanding. This offers students the flexibility to study at a pace with which they
are comfortable. The duration of each intake is outlined below:

Intake Semester 1 Semester 2

January January – June July – November

March March – June July – November

July July – November January – June

August August – November January – June

Intakes
There are two standard intakes in January and July, and two accelerated intakes in March and August.

Admission requirements
Minimum five (5) credits in SPM or O-Level including credits in English and Mathematics, or equivalent. Conditional offers will be made
to students with forecast results.
For the accelerated 9-month program, a higher level of proficiency in the English Language is preferred.

Guide to unit selection

Subjects and units offered
Each subject is divided into two units for example, Computer Science is divided into Computer Science A and Computer Science B.
In total, the program offers eleven subjects and twenty two units.

English English A (MUF0011) English B (MUF0012)

Mathematics Advanced Mathematics A (MUF0101) Advanced Mathematics B (MUF0102)
Fundamental Mathematics A (MUF0141) Fundamental Mathematics B (MUF0142)
Mathematics A (MUF0091) Mathematics B (MUF0092)
Science Biology A (MUF0031) Biology B (MUF0032)
Chemistry A (MUF0041) Chemistry B (MUF0042)
Physics A (MUF0121) Physics B (MUF0122)
Business Accounting A (MUF0021) Accounting B (MUF0022)
Economics A (MUF0061) Economics B (MUF0062)
Computer Science Computer Science A (MUF0051) Computer Science B (MUF0052)

Social Science Globalisation A (MUF0131) Globalisation B (MUF0132)

Please note:
English is a compulsory subject. All students are required to take English A and B. English, Accounting, Advanced Mathematics,
Fundamental Mathematics and Globalisation must be taken in sequence. This means, part A of these subjects must be successfully
completed before students can enrol for part B. Hence, parts A and B of these subjects cannot be taken concurrently on the first
attempt. Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics and Physics do not have to be taken in sequence because
part B of each of these subjects is independent of part A. As such, parts A and B of these subjects can be taken concurrently.

Calculation of MUFY scores
Based on eight units
If a student has taken eight units, the MUFY
score is calculated by adding the score
obtained from all passed units and dividing
that total score by two. The following is
an example of the MUFY score
calculated based on 8 units taken:
Based on nine units
Students in the standard intakes (January and
July) are allowed to take up to nine or ten units.
Students taking nine units can complete four in
one semester and five in the other semester.
The nine units must include:
• English A & B (two units) and
• four units from the same subjects e.g.
Mathematics A & B, and Physics A & B, and
• any three units either from the same
subject or different subjects e.g. Chemistry
A & B and Biology A, or Accounting A,
Economics A and Advanced Mathematics A.
Students who pass all nine units on
their first attempt and within two semesters
are eligible for a bonus point which is 5% of PLUS
the mark from the lowest scoring unit. The
following is an example of the MUFY score
calculated based on 9 units taken:
Based on ten units
Alternatively, students taking ten units can
complete five in one semester and five in the
other semester. The ten units must include:
• English A & B (two units) and
• six units from the same subjects e.g.
Mathematics A & B, Globalisation A & B
and Computer Science A & B and
• any two units either from the same
subject or different subjects e.g.
Accounting A & B or Biology A and
Economics A.
Students who pass all ten units on their first
attempt and within two semesters are
eligible for a bonus point which is 10% of
the mark from the two lowest scoring units.
The following is an example of the MUFY
score calculated based on 10 units taken:
Subject Semester 1 Semester 2

 Program Information
Assessment methods
and policies
Assessment comprises a mix of
coursework (for instance
research projects, assignments,
presentations, reports and class
tests) and final examinations.
The major component is the final
examination which constitutes
50%–70% of the total score,
depending on the unit taken.
Final examinations are conducted
at the end of each semester, in
June and November.

Passing a complete subject

Students must pass part A and part B of a subject i.e. obtain a minimum 50% in order to achieve an overall pass for that
subject. Students passing part A but failing part B or the reverse do not achieve an overall pass for that subject even though
the average of the two marks is over 50%. For example, a student who obtains 40% for Economics A and 70% for
Economics B does not pass Economics since part A of the subject has not been passed.

Passing a mixed subject combination

A student must pass both units of the mixed subject combination in order to achieve an overall pass. Example, if the mixed
subject combination is Chemistry A and Physics B, a student who obtains 90% for Chemistry A and 30% for Physics B
does not achieve an overall pass for the mixed subject combination even though the average of the two marks is over 50%
because Physics B has not been passed.

Repeating units
English A is a pre-requisite for English B. In order to enrol in English B, a student must pass English A. The same applies to
Fundamental Mathematics A & B. To enrol in Fundamental Mathematics B, a student must have passed Fundamental
Mathematics A.
For the other subjects where part A is a pre-requisite for part B (Accounting, Advanced Mathematics and Globalisation), if
a student has failed part A but has scored a minimum 45%, the student is allowed to take part A concurrently with part B
in the following semester. However, if less than 45% has been obtained for part A, the student is not allowed to take part A
concurrently with part B. The student is only allowed to enrol for part B until he/she has passed part A.
Students can repeat part A or part B units provided that no more than five units are taken in that semester. A student who
has enrolled for the maximum number of units and who wishes to repeat units can do so in a third semester.

Improving the score of passed units

Students who have passed part A or part B of a subject but wish to improve their MUFY score can re-enrol in any part A or part B
unit provided that no more than five units are taken in that semester. Alternatively, the units can be repeated in a third semester.
The highest mark combination will be used to determine the MUFY score.

Adding and dropping units

Students select the units they wish to study at the beginning of each semester. However, if they find that they have made an
unsuitable choice of units, they are allowed to change their selection of units by adding or dropping certain units within the first two
weeks of the semester.

Mathematics and Fundamental Mathematics

Students who obtain a minimum 40% in Mathematics A or B can switch to Fundamental Mathematics. They are exempted
from Fundamental Mathematics A and need only pass Fundamental Mathematics B in order to achieve an overall pass for
Fundamental Mathematics.

9
Attendance
Absence from class
Great importance is placed on regular and punctual
attendance as it is a major determinant of success on
the MUFY program. As such, a student who is absent
from class must produce one of the following in support
of the absence:
A. medical certificate; the medical certificate must
provide the following details:
a. the date that the student was examined
b. duration of medical leave allowed
c. notes explaining the nature and severity of the
illness; examples of medical conditions that justify
absence:
i. fever
ii. communicable diseases such as measles,
chicken pox, conjunctivitis, mumps etc.
iii. severe gastritis
iv. asthma attack
d. the signature and official stamp of the doctor
B. letter from parent/guardian
C. letter from the relevant authorities e.g.,
scholarship interview letter etc.
Students must produce these documents in advance
of their leave (in the case of non-medical reasons) or
immediately upon their return to class.
Consequences of absence from class
a. An absenteeism report will be sent to the parents/guardians of
students who are absent more than three times in a month.
In addition, the parents/guardians concerned will be
contacted by the program highlighting the problem if the
absence is without reason.
b. Students will not be allowed to take an assessment if they are
absent from class more than 20% without reason (attendance
is calculated based on the period between one assessment
and the next).
Absence from assessments
Students who are unable to take an assessment for medical or
personal reasons must produce the document(s) outlined in A–C
above. These documents must be produced either in advance of
absence (in the case of non-medical reasons) or immediately upon
return to class.
Subsequently, students must report to the Director of MUFY within
48 hours of their return to class to seek permission to take the
assessment at another time. Failure to do so will result in the
student being awarded zero mark for that particular assessment.
Class punctuality
Students who are less than 15 minutes late will be marked “late”
in the attendance record. Students who are more than 15 minutes
late will be marked “absent” and they may not be allowed into the
class if the lecturer feels that it will disrupt learning.

Final examinations and results

Part of the assessment for each unit is a final examination which is conducted at the end of the semester. Attendance is compulsory.
Students who are unable to attend because they are ill must notify the Director of MUFY and produce a valid medical certificate
or other supporting documents that justify their absence. Such cases are then presented as ‘misadventure cases’ to the MUFY
Board of Studies and the final score to be awarded will be decided by the Board.
Students can view their final results online using their Monash password. Actual copies of the MUFY Academic Record and Certificate
may be collected about a week after the online release of results.
Students who fail a particular unit can either register for the same unit again or select a new unit in the following semester. There
are no re-sits for failed units.

Compulsory subjects
The Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) requires all Malaysian
students to take and pass Malaysian Studies, Moral Studies
(for non-Muslim students)/Islamic Studies (for Muslim students)
and Bahasa Kebangsaan (exemption from this subject is given to
Counselling and support

activities throughout the year. These activities give students the
chance to enjoy aspects of student life which they do not normally
get to experience in the classroom, and the opportunity to interact
with their lecturers in a less formal setting. In addition, students gain
from the experience of leading and managing when they help
organise these activities.

units of work have been chosen as the most suitable
introduction to First Year University Mathematics courses
for students whose main area of study requires some
mathematical competencies.

 Unit Descriptions
MUF 0092 Mathematics B
(Probability and Statistics)
This part of the course consists of three units of work:
Sequences, Series, and Probability and Statistics. Each
unit of work includes applications of the theory to common
real life situations. The units of work have been designed
to provide a range of knowledge, essential skills and
methods to equip students for tertiary study and to cater
for a wide variety of student needs.
MUF 0101 Advanced Mathematics A
It is assumed that students studying Advanced
Mathematics Part A will be concurrently studying, or will
have completed, Mathematics Part A, or its equivalent.
All pre-requisite knowledge for the subject Mathematics is
also a pre-requisite for Advanced Mathematics.
Students will develop detailed and specific mathematical
skills through the study of the following units: Complex
numbers, Vectors, Matrices, Introduction to Differentiation
and Circular functions.
MUF 0102 Advanced Mathematics B
All pre-requisite knowledge for the subject Mathematics is
also a pre-requisite for Advanced Mathematics. Students
will develop detailed and specific mathematical skills
through the study of the following units:
Antiderivative calculations, Definite integrals, Differential
equations, Kinematics.
MUF0141 Fundamental Mathematics A
The subject develops mathematical knowledge,
methods, skills and applications through the study of
rational numbers, basic algebra, sequences and series,
graphs, geometry and trigonometry and business
mathematics. Students will recall mathematical facts
and terminology, be familiar with a range of
mathematical concepts and relationships, demonstrate
algebraic, computational and problem-solving skill,
and be able to analyse verbally expressed problems
from a mathematical perspective.
13
MUF0142 Fundamental Mathematics B
The subject develops mathematical knowledge,
methods, skills and applications through the study
of graphs, geometry, trigonometry, displaying and
summarising data and networks. Students will recall
mathematical facts and terminology, be familiar with
a range of mathematical concepts and relationships,
demonstrate algebraic, computational and
problem-solving skill, and be able to analyse verbally
expressed problems from a mathematical perspective.
MUF 0121 Physics A
Physics Part A covers the fundamentals of the classical
theory of mechanics, and provides students with practice
in applying this knowledge to a wide variety of realistic
and everyday situations. Mechanics has three main parts:
kinematics, dynamics and statics. Kinematics, the study
of ways to describe motion, is basic to all further study
in Physics. Dynamics (the study of the effects of forces)
and statics (which studies stability and equilibrium) are not
only important scientifically, but are also of great practical
importance in engineering.
MUF 0122 Physics B
Physics Part B consists of the fundamentals of the
classical theory of waves, electricity and magnetism,
and an introduction to some aspects of modern
physics that indicate the limits of applicability of the
classical theory. Students will practise applying this
knowledge to a wide variety of contexts. This part of
Physics is especially relevant to people today because
we live in a high-technology society. Knowledge of
electricity and waves helps us to understand information
and communication technology, and so helps us in
assessing, using, developing and improving it.
