Course summary
The International Pre-Masters (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.
Who is this course for?
Weve designed this course for international students aiming to study a postgraduate degree at UCL and other leading UK universities.
Youll 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.
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 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.
What this course will give you?
The IPM offers the ideal opportunity to develop your academic abilities and English language and gain an insiders perspective on what it takes to be successful at UK and other leading UK universities.
The focus is on experiencing authentic academic situations and tasks that you will typically undertake on degree programmes so that you are more academically confident and independent.
On the course, you will develop your ability to:
Use English accurately, flexibly, and confidently in an academic context.
Understand and critically respond to lectures and academic texts.
Write convincing, structured academic texts in an appropriate academic style, with particular emphasis on the essay.
Speak effectively in academic contexts, with a focus on seminar discussions and academic presentations.
Learn how to think 鈥� not what to think - by developing your skills of analysis and evaluation.
Reflect on educational experiences in preparation for the challenges of postgraduate study.
Conduct effective, library-based research required at postgraduate level.
Contribute effectively to your academic community by understanding the expectations and practices both generally and within your individual discipline.
Develop independent learning skills and learner autonomy to the level expected for postgraduate study in the UK.
