This master's course includes a pre-master's year before your master's to develop your study skills, subject knowledge and academic language level. You will only need to make one application and you can apply for one visa to cover the whole two years of study.

This course will be suitable for you if:

• you wish to take a master's in a subject that is different from your undergraduate degree
• you wish to improve your study skills and academic language level before starting your master's course
• you want to better understand the academic demands for studying at master's level in the UK
• you have had a break from education and want to build your confidence before starting your master's

Many full-time master's courses at Oxford Brookes University can be taken as part of this two year course (See 'Progression and degree options' for further information).
