Pre-Master's Courses
Guaranteed Entry To A US Master's After Only 1-2 Semesters
A Pre-Master's is for international students who want to study a master's degree in the USA, but do not
have the academic or English qualifications required for direct entry1.
Most courses teach a combination of subject knowledge, study skills and research methods.
In addition, you will learn English to a high standard for use in your studies and research.
Courses start in January, May and August and take 1 - 2 semesters to complete, depending on
your English level. For most pre-master's, you are guaranteed progression to your chosen master's
degree on successful completion of the course.
Why Choose This Course
A pre-master's course is perfect if you want to study a master's degree in the United States and:
- You need to improve your English level to meet the entry requirements.
- Your bachelor's degree class or GPA is borderline for direct entry.
- You have not taken a GRE or GMAT test.
- You have a bachelor's degree from your own country, but it is not accepted for entry to a master's degree
in the United States.
- You already have the qualifications for direct entry, but you want to develop your subject knowledge,
English ability and research methods before starting a master's degree in a new country.
