Program Description The English Language Preparation program is a chance to improve your English language skills before beginning your pathway program. This program will help you develop the required language skills to be successful in your intended pathway and degree program. 1-Semester Pathway and 2-Semester Pathway pre-sessional English are available. 1-Semester Pathway Pre-sessional English requires Academic IELTS for UKVI 5.0 overall (5.0 in all subskills) and 2-Semester Pathway pre-sessional English requires Academic IELTS for UKVI 4.5 Overall (minimum 4.5 in all sub-skills). This program consists of a pathway program offered by StudyGroup at the International Study Centre at the University of Sussex followed by entry into a university program offered at the University of Sussex. In the International Year One programme, you will study courses related to your intended field of study alongside English to develop and enhance your skills as a student. Advancement into your intended program depends upon the successful completion of the pathway program. The Pre-masters program in Science and Engineering will let you explore and begin to understand the power of science and engineering in the real world by studying relevant courses such as programming and systems control, mathematics for computing and engineering and data analysis and modelling. While you begin to learn the technical and applied aspects of science and engineering you also are provided with a critical outlook and approach employers want in your chosen field. During the Master of Research in Conservation Biology, you’ll gain an advanced, global outlook on conservation. You learn positive approaches you can use to address conservation challenges. In the face of global change, there’s never been a greater need for the knowledge and research skills that you’ll develop on this course. These skills will enable you to address the environmental changes facing us today. We are part of the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP). The SSRP provides an excellent interdisciplinary research environment through the School of Life Sciences, the School of Global Studies, Sussex Law School, SPRU – Science Policy Research Unit and the Institute of Developmental Studies (IDS).
