Pre-Masters Programme

What is the Pre-Masters Programme?

The Pre-Masters Programme is a two-term course that offers key academic and English language modules to ensure you succeed in your Masters degree at the University of Strathclyde. 97% of students who completed the Pre-Masters Programme at Strathclyde International Study Centre were offered progression to a degree course at the University of Strathclyde in 2023.

You can choose from two subject routes, depending on the degree you want to study. Once you successfully complete this programme and achieve the required grades, you can start your chosen Masters degree in September.

I chose to study at Strathclyde because it is one of the best universities in the UK, especially in my major.

Studying at the International Study Centre was an excellent experience. They have different courses which can help us in our postgraduate studies, including academic writing, research methods, mathematics and statistics.
