Mr Vasan Varathan

Head of Imperium Centre for Foundation Programmes

Greetings to all. Welcome to Imperium International College’s Centre for Foundation programmes.

Imperium’s Foundation in Social Science programme is a Pre-University programme which delivers subjects that are related to the Arts and Social Science discipline. In whole, it is a preparatory course for school-leavers who want to qualify for a place on a bachelor’s degree course specifically in the field of Arts and social science studies. We believe in a complete holistic education. This means that, coupled with academic knowledge, you will be exposed to experiential learning as an integral part of your well-rounded education. Each of our programme has been designed to ensure students develop their basics in the subjects so that they can cope with the pressure of higher education. Besides curriculum, we also focus on building students’ soft skills such as confidence, team work and communication to ensure that they are able to succeed in a career of their choice. Equipped with young and dynamic lecturers, we assure that our educators go beyond the normal norm. We are committed to molding and shaping students to have a balanced world view and an understanding of social issues and world affairs outside of their textbooks. Our emphasis is not confined to them performing well in examinations and moving on to tertiary studies but in developing their passion for life-long learning, confidence in their own ability and harnessing their talents.

On that note, let me welcome you to chart your own success with us.

Mr Vasan Varathan, Head of Centre

Student Testimony

Through Imperium International College’s Foundation in Arts programme, it has effectively equipped me the knowledge that was needed for me to pursue my undergraduate studies. The programme also made me realise that my foundation is not just about the knowledge but it is about building the fundamental analytic and comprehension skills for future programmes.
