If you do not meet the direct entry requirements for a Masters degree or you simply want to refresh your knowledge, the Pre-Masters course is for you. The Pre-Masters is a programme of academic subjects, study skills and English language training. It is designed specifically for international students and will qualify you to meet the challenges of a taught Masters at the University.
You can study on the three-term Pre-Masters if you have a level of English of IELTS 5.5 (5.5 in all components) or equivalent.
You can study on the Two-term Pre-Masters if you can demonstrate a level of English of IELTS 6.0 (6.0 in writing and 5.5 in all other components) or equivalent.
If your English level is lower than IELTS 5.5, you can still apply for a Three-term Pre-Masters programme and we offer English for Pre-Masters (EPM) courses:
- One term of EPM if your IELTS is 4.5/5.0
- Two terms of EPM if your IELTS is 3.5/4.0
Joining the Pre-Masters programme guarantees you a conditional offer of a place on a Masters degree at the University. Once you have successfully completed the course, and obtained the required progression grades, you will proceed directly to your preferred Masters.
Modules
Depending on the degree you intend to study, you can choose between five different routes, which would lead you to related Master level degree courses at the University of Sussex:
>> Media, Journalism and Film Studies
