Masters Preparation Programme
Students with an bachelor’s degree from their home country and who are academically capable of postgraduate study may find their English language level a barrier to postgraduate study in Australia.
The Masters Preparation Programme (MPP) prepares international students to meet the entry criteria for CDU masters programmes by developing advanced skills in academic writing, research, critical thinking and intercultural communication.
Students can smoothly transition into an English-language masters programme in one semester and gain a deep understanding of the demands of postgraduate study and learn the processes, expectations and methods for success before their masters programme begins.
