Pre-Masters Programme
The Plan-it Pre-Masters Programme, offered in association with Bournemouth University and the University of Northumbria in the UK, prepares students for the rigorous requirements of international study at the tertiary level. Plan-it Pre-Masters is a socially conscious and student-focused organisation that employs the highest quality of teaching to develop the full potential of our students. Its goal is that the students gain the confidence and skills needed to succeed at the highest levels in education, career and life.
Plan-it’s Pre-Masters and Pre-MBA Programmes are conducted in four stages. Stage one is a specialist IELTS Exam Preparation course. Stage two is a series of foundation courses, developed to provide the skills and confidence to succeed at the master’s-degree level. The foundation courses are in English, mathematics, study skills, and research methods.
Stage three is a sequence of core courses that focus on the student’s area of specialisation and provide basic grounding in the subject. For a description of the Pre-Masters core courses, click here. For an overview of the Stage three foundation courses, Intensive Business English and Basic Business Mathematics, click here. The individual Stage three core courses are in Management, Marketing, Human Resources Management and Finance and Accounting.
Stage four is a supervised project that allows students to utilise the knowledge and skills they have learnt in a practical, high-level research exercise.
Students who complete the series will have these necessary skills for master’s degree study:
Report Writing – expressing powerful ideas clearly and precisely
Lecture Skills – understanding completely technical and theoretical material presented during lectures
Reading – knowing how to speed read a large amount of academic material, understand it, and summarise its contents
Presentation skills – acquiring the confidence and style that are key to presenting ideas and data
The course will make students:
confident and proficient in their use of English
gain extensive knowledge about their master’s degree subject area
be confident about their ability to study in a Western environment
Students also will have access to our existing student network to help them choose a course of study and place of residence and gather other useful information about studying abroad. We facilitate the university application and visa process. Click here for our services in those areas. We offer guaranteed placement at a UK university at the appropriate level.
All course modules are developed on a stand-alone basis. Students may take all of them in a series or each individually.
Foundation and Core Courses can be taken on a full-time basis, 18 hours per week for 13 weeks, or part-time, 9 hours per week for 26 weeks. The Supervised Project requires 13 weeks to complete.
