The International Pre-Master’s (IPM) is a preparatory course for international students aiming to study for a postgraduate degree at a leading UK university. It provides you with the academic and English language skills required for successful postgraduate study. We’ve designed this course for international students aiming to study a postgraduate degree at UCL and other leading UK universities. You’ll be particularly well suited to the IPM if you have an undergraduate degree that meets the academic requirements of your future degree, but you would like to enhance your academic ability and improve your English language level. This nine-month course gives you the time you need to improve your English to the level required by UCL and other top UK universities. It will appeal equally to recent graduates or those returning to study after some time away, as well as to students changing their future degrees, or those wanting time and support to consider their future options. The IPM gives you the opportunity to explore your interests and options for Master’s study before submitting your Master’s application. The course will benefit all those wishing to prepare for postgraduate study on a UK university campus and be supported as they are introduced to a new academic culture and living in a foreign country.
