What is FNBE?


The Foundation in Natural and Built Environments or FNBE is a one year programme before entering university designed for SPM/O-Levels graduates who wants to pursue a career in the built environment industry. 


The Foundation serves as an excellent alternative to pre-university courses, one that guarantees a smooth transition for those who have completed SPM or an equivalent school certificate to pursue a built environment degree programme. The programme is specially tailored to students who want an opportunity to explore the wide range of opportunities within the natural and built environment disciplines and professions before committing to a particular path or career. 


Its primary objective is to introduce students to the different fields of study in the natural and built environments and instill an appreciation that will help and lead them to a degree in Architecture, Construction Management, Interior Design or Quantity Surveying.
