Our Pre-Master’s Program offers a direct pathway for international students wishing to study a range of master’s degrees at the University of Newcastle. Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive up to 30 credit points, allowing you to jump straight into the second trimester of your master’s degree.

By the second Pre-Master’s trimester, you’ll begin studying university subjects that are part of your chosen master’s degree.

Why study the Pre-Master’s Program?

• Flexible entry and English language requirements (see entry requirements on page 34).
