The International Pre-Master's Pathway is only available to international students that have already obtained a UK equivalent of a bachelor's degree.
It is designed to support you to develop your English language skills, study skills, research skills, and content knowledge to ensure your success in meeting the entry requirements of your destination master's degree programme.
Successfully completing one of our International Pre-Master's Pathways can provide the opportunity to progress a relevant postgraduate degree at Coventry University or Coventry University London, subject to meeting the specified entry criteria and progression requirements. With a combined CAS and an integrated student visa, you will be ready to begin your master’s degree studies without having to spend extra time and money on a university and visa application. And with multiple intakes each year, you'll have the opportunity to progress onto your master’s degree without a gap in your studies after successful completion of a preparation programme.
Choose your International Pre-Master's Pathway
The International Pre-Master's Pathway consists of up to six modules, each taught over a six-week period (two semesters). Depending on your current academic and/or English level, you may have the opportunity to join the course at the second or third module.

You will also study two subject-specific modules that are tailored to provide fundamental knowledge of your subject area, giving you the opportunity to progress to your chosen master's degree at Coventry University or Coventry University London (subject to meeting progression requirements).
For the International Pre-Master's Pathway - Business Management there is also an option, depending on your IELTS and academic qualifications, to study an accelerated route over only one semester, made up of one academic language and skills module and one research skills module.
