Pre-Masters Programmes

Your pathway to a Masters degree at Queen Mary University of London and beyond. Prepare for postgraduate study with a subject-specific Pre-Masters programme.

Our Pre-Masters programmes are one-year courses that prepare international and EU students for postgraduate study. Combining subject-specific study with academic and English language development, they are designed for students who need additional preparation before starting a Masters degree.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your academic background, improve your English language skills or transition into a new subject area, you'll develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed for success at Masters level.

Taught by Queen Mary academics at our Mile End campus, the programmes provide progression to more than 50 Masters degree programmes at Queen Mary, with additional progression opportunities at other UK institutions.
