The Pre-Masters Bridging Diploma has been created for students who at present do not have sufficient academic or English language qualifications to embark on a master’s program in the UK. For example, if they are Chinese, they may well have a three year Diploma rather than a four year degree. They may also have IELTS of no more than 5.0 when at least 6.0 is generally required for acceptance into a UK Higher education institution.
The Bridging Diploma endeavors over a year of study to help the student reach IELTS 6.5 and also introduces him/her to the academic discipline that they are intending to study at Masters Level. The program fees are £6,500 payable at the commencement of study. It is hoped that students who successfully complete the Bridging Diploma will stay on at BGS to take the MBA degree.
