Foundation in Arts and Social Science
About
For a nation to flourish and prosper, the arts and social sciences are just as crucial as science and technology. The various disciplines of social science and the arts support a country's economy and act as the ties that bind its social fabric together. The younger generation is becoming more interested in pursuing careers in the arts and social sciences as lifetime occupations due to the immediate need for qualified professionals in such disciplines. Higher education options in a range of artistic and social scientific disciplines are made available by the XMUM Foundation in the Arts and Social Scientific program. Students will advance to an undergraduate degree at XMUM in subjects like business, accounting, finance, e-commerce, journalism, advertising, English language and literature, and Chinese studies upon successfully completing the program.
