Pre-sessional English for international students
If you hold a conditional offer and you have not yet met the English entry requirements for a degree course at the University, we can help you with our pre-sessional English courses.

If you do not meet our academic grade requirements for your chosen course, we can offer you an alternative route to begin your studies. Our international incorporated degrees will develop your subject knowledge, academic English and university level study skills.

£ 10,500
 

per year of study
 

Tuition fees for International students will increase by no more than 5% per year for the length of your course.
 

Additional costs:

• may be mandatory or optional expenses
• may be one off, ongoing or incidental charges and certain costs may be payable annually for each year of your programme of study
• vary depending on your programme of study
• are payable by you and are non-refundable and non-transferable
   

Unfortunately, failure to pay additional costs may result in limitations on your student experience.

To achieve this, principles of professional learning are integrated throughout the learning and teaching, including:
 

• a strong emphasis on reflective practice throughout the programme.
• opportunities to situate learning within contexts that are familiar to you and actively facilitating you to explore interdisciplinary practice in a broader range of disciplines and contexts.
• an option for workplace ‘consultancy’ experience that combines research skills with practice-based interventions.
• teaching and learning that actively includes working as a group to address issues and challenges in interdisciplinary ways, using this as a vehicle for deeper learning and understanding.
• opportunities to network locally, nationally and internationally
   

While you will graduate with a unique range of attributes, fundamentally, this programme aims to create a community of scholars who display ‘doctoral characteristics’ – that is, the qualities and skills associated with doctoral graduates. It is also about preparing you for working in a post-digital world, where 21st century qualities, such as being value-based, reflective and transdisciplinary, are an expectation of professionals.
