English Pre-Masters

You can take one or two semesters of English language preparation. If you have IELTS 5.0 (5.0 in all bands) or equivalent, you will need one semester of English for Pre-Masters. If you have IELTS 4.5 (4.5 in all bands) or equivalent, you will need to complete our two-semester English for Pre-Masters programme.

This course has two start dates, depending on when you begin your Pre-Masters Programme.

One-semester programme: September, before starting your academic programme in February, or June, before starting your academic programme in September

Two-semester programme: June, before starting your academic programme in February

English for Pre-Masters students at the University of Surrey International Study Centre will not need to take an additional IELTS test for progression to their Pre-Masters Programme. Students will be assessed on their Academic English Skills (AES) grade at the International Study Centre (they will be required to achieve a minimum of 40% in all skill areas).
