Business and Management
Program Summary
The Pre-Masters Programme provides a pathway to a Masters degree at Kingston University London. With two different course lengths, this programme is ideal for students who want a supportive introduction to studying for their postgraduate business degree in the UK. You can choose from a 2-term or 1-term version of this programme. The 1-term version is a condensed, fast-track option for students who have higher IELTS results than what is required for the 2-term course.
Through this programme, you will be able to discover a range of academic study skills, while also improving your written and spoken English language. The small class sizes and attentive teaching methods used will help you adapt to studying in the British education system.
