What are Pre-Masters?

Pre-Masters education is for international students who want to start their Masters education but need to improve their English or academic proficiency. Pre-Masters programs in the UK are designed to prepare foreign students for postgraduate study and train students to a high standard.

The duration of the trainings varies between 10 weeks and 12 months and provides the necessary infrastructure for a successful graduate education. Pre-masters help foreign students become familiar with English teaching methods, while developing the English language and learning skills necessary for successful postgraduate studies.
