Some university graduates then study for a master’s (or postgraduate) degree, which usually lasts 1 year. Our Pre-Master’s courses bridge the gap between your existing college or university credit and the level needed for entry to a postgraduate degree.
LOWER UKVI IELTS?If you do not meet the English language entry level for the courses listed on this page, we can offer you a course that includes Extended English and Skills (EES). Contact us for more details about EES.

The location of the College is really good. It’s close to the River Thames, so there are great views from some classrooms. The common area is the best place in the College. Between classes, I can chat with my friends and meet people from different countries.
So far, my favourite class is Statistics. The teachers are nice and always willing to explain everything, which makes it easy to understand. I have already improved my subject knowledge and earned good grades.
I have recently become a student representative. This means I can represent the students at the College by participating in activities and events, meeting visitors and sharing my experiences studying here in London.
I really enjoy living here. The local people are friendly and helpful, and always have a warm smile. My accommodation is great. I have my own bedroom and bathroom, and there is a shared kitchen and living room where I can
meet friends.
In my free time, I like to visit museums, art galleries and places of interest in the city. I especially like to explore Chinatown, as you can always find some fascinating things to see.
This year, I would like to enter the University of York successfully! Studying at KIC London has transformed my future, made me more independent and improved my study skills.
