Pre-Masters
1-semester on campus and online options
The Pre-Masters International Pathway is designed to prepare international students who have not met the academic requirements for direct entry to master’s level study and enables students to join a master's course at the University of Chichester.
Level 4 International Route
Our Level 4 International Route is suitable for you if English is not your first or main working language and you wish to study for a full degree in the areas of Business and/or Psychology.
You will study a fully credited module in Global English Communication in the first year of your course, specially designed to develop your language and academic skills.


Pre-Sessional Programme
This programme is designed for those who have an offer to start an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at the University of Chichester, but need to raise their International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score.
You will join a 5-week programme and develop your academic language and study skills to meet the minimum language requirements for your course.
International Top-Up Degrees
These specially designed one-year, full-time programmes of study provide international students who hold HND or associate overseas degrees with the opportunity to complete their studies by gaining a full BA or BSc (Hons) degree.
The programmes also enable students to adjust to studying in the UK and gain the skills and knowledge required for further postgraduate study. On successful completion, students will be awarded a BA or BSc (Hons) (International) degree.



I love the freedom I have to explore my ideas and the support to execute them.
