Program Overview

The University of Newcastle College of International Education 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. Successful completion of the program provides students with 30 credit points towards various postgraduate degrees.

The Pre-Master’s Program is taught over two trimesters. In the first Bridging trimester, you’ll develop your study and research skills, and English academic language in writing, reading, listening and speaking. By the second Pre-Master’s trimester, you’ll begin studying university subjects that are part of your chosen Master’s program. On successful completion of the Pre-Master’s Program, you’ll receive credit for these subjects and jump straight into the second trimester of your degree.

Why study the Pre-Master’s?

  • Flexible entry and English language requirements.
  • Our Bridging to Pre-Master’s trimester model means you begin your Master’s courses after just one trimester, and then progress straight into the second trimester of the Master’s program.
  • You receive extra support to develop your English and academic study skills.
  • With all the preparation, you still only add an additional four months to your degree.


Leading to: Master of Business Administration (Global)

In a complex, changing world, leaders of the future require the ability at a local, national and international level to see the ‘big picture’. Increasingly, employers are seeking individuals who are managers and global-thought leaders with the ability to bring together the resources and innovative potential of an organisation to deliver sophisticated, successful international strategies.

The MBA (Global) program develops these critical capabilities through an innovative and rigorous curriculum, expert and highly engaged staff, and an active, problem-based approach to learning that develops confidence and work-readiness.
