A Pre-Masters is for international students who need to improve their English and academic skills ahead of a taught masters degree. Pre-Masters programs in the UK are designed to prepare international students fully for studying at postgraduate level and deliver high-quality students.
Courses range in length from ten weeks to twelve months and provide an essential grounding for successful postgraduate study. A Pre-Masters will greatly increase the English language and study skills required for successful postgraduate study, as well as familiarising international students with UK teaching methods.
