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.

£ 19,500
 

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.

Studies by the Royal Geographical Society show that Geography degrees are an excellent basis for developing the transferable skills and knowledge that many employers value. You will be skilled in communication, problem solving, analysis and interpretation.
 

Many of our graduates pursue Geography-related careers in development or environmental consultancies, government, tourism, planning and teaching.
 

While you may not become a politician (though many of our students over the years have: as MPs, MSPs and MEPs), your degree will open up a range of opportunities in both the private and public sectors.
 

In other words, the skills - personal, verbal and written - that you will acquire can be easily transferred to many walks of life. We have produced leading journalists, civil servants, diplomats - and even the occasional secret agent!
