University requirements for a Masters degree without an honours degree
At some universities there are options to do a pre-master’s degree course lasting for one or two semesters. These courses are specifically aimed at students who are looking to apply for a Masters degree without honours.
If your English language qualifications do not meet the entry criteria for postgraduate programmes, there are a range of options we can support you with. IELTS conditions are usually higher for Master’s degree courses. Your options to improve your English language skills may include undertaking a pre-sessional course aimed at enhancing your English, or taking an intensive IELTS course to ensure you meet the entry criteria for your postgraduate degree programme.
