Four levels. Best source at every stage.

FSTEM does not invent curriculum where better curriculum already exists. It selects the best available source at each level and builds the connective tissue — assessment, cohort structure, faculty guidance, and certification — around it.

Level 01
Secondary School
Cambridge International Education · Grades 9–13
IGCSE in Grades 9-10 across mathematics, sciences, computer science, English, economics, and global perspectives. A-Levels in Grades 11-13 across three tracks: Technology & AI, Energy & Systems, and Finance & Policy. Cambridge examinations are sat at registered centers worldwide and recognized by universities in 160 countries.
Cambridge IGCSE + A-Level certificates. Recognized globally.
Level 02
Undergraduate
MIT OpenCourseWare · 4 Years · FSTEM BSc
The actual curriculum MIT delivers to its own students, published openly. Years 1-2 cover the universal STEM core: single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, statistics, programming, physics, chemistry, and economics. Years 3-4 specialize toward the student's intended Masters track using advanced MIT OCW courses. Assessment, cohort structure, and laboratory access are provided by FSTEM.
FSTEM Bachelor of Science. MIT OCW courses completed and documented.
Level 03
Masters Programs
MIT MicroMasters (5 tracks) + FSTEM Proprietary (2 tracks)
Seven Masters tracks. Five are built on MIT MicroMasters programs — the most rigorous graduate-level online credentials available, accepted for credit at MIT and universities worldwide. Two are proprietary FSTEM tracks built from original research in Power Currency and Total Domain Conflict — subjects that do not exist as academic programs anywhere else. All seven tracks share a common AI core semester.

Level 04
Doctoral Programs
Original Research · Two Programs
Two doctoral research programs anchored in original intellectual work developed over eighteen years. Power Currency: the mathematics, engineering, and economics of physical energy-backed currency. Total Domain Conflict: the 36 Stratagems applied through computational analysis to modern multi-domain conflict. Both programs operate in research territory with no existing faculty competition. Doctoral students are the world's most qualified practitioners in their specific areas upon completion.
FSTEM Doctor of Philosophy. Original research that extends the field.
Masters Programs

Seven tracks. All AI-core.

Every Masters student completes a common AI core in their first semester — INTEGRATE framework, enterprise architecture for AI, C2M2 cyber maturity — before specializing. Five tracks earn a MIT MicroMasters credential alongside the FSTEM Masters degree.
