Students enrolled on our M.Sc programme will have an individual pastoral tutor for help in addition to the many lecturers and course organisers.
Applicants who are just below the language entry requirements may consider one of the pre-sessional courses offered at the University of Bristol. There is a 10-week course for students with no less than IELTS 5.5 and a 5-week course for students with no less than IELTS 6.0. These courses are designed to develop the academic English language skills needed for higher education study at a British university. These courses are provided by Bristol University’s Language Centre.
