Pre-Masters Programme
What is it?
The Pre-Masters Programme is a six-month to one-year course that serves to bridge the gap between the degree qualifications you have from your home country and those you need to start a postgraduate degree in the UK. It can also enable you to change from the subject area that you studied during your bachelor's degree and therefore assist your master's application.
Many universities either provide their own foundation programs or have partnerships with an external private institution.
