Pre-Master's Course leading to master's programme

Duration: 12 weeks

Introduction:

The course is designed for the students whose English language skills do not qualify them for a direct entry into a Master's degree. It provides a sound foundation for overseas applicants who have a Bachelor’s degree and/or relevant business experience and who wish to proceed to an internationally recognised Master's qualification. The course not only provides an opportunity for these students to bring their English language skills to the required level but also provides them an opportunity to analyse fundamental issues in management.

The main aim of the programme is to introduce students to the academic environment in the UK and give them the linguistic skills necessary to begin their studies for a postgraduate course.

Upon successful completion of the course the students will be guaranteed a place in at least one of the following Master's programmes at the University.

  • Master of Business Administration
  • MSc International Business
  • MSc International Logistics and Supply Chain Management
  • MA Human Resource Management
  • MSc Air Transport Management
  • MSc Applied Computing
  • MSc Telecommunications and Network Management
