The Pre-Masters programme at the International College offers a path to a masters for international students at the University of Sheffield. This programme is designed in collaboration with the University and is delivered by Study Group.

Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering
The Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering will introduce you to carrying out lab experiments and analysing statistics for research projects. This programme leads to a number of postgraduate engineering and science degrees in the engineering and science faculties at the University.

Once you complete your Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering and achieve the required grades, you can enter into the postgraduate degree at the University of Sheffield.

Leading to: Computer Science MSc

This intensive, one-year master's degree is designed for ambitious graduates from any non-computing discipline who wish to receive a grounding in the fundamentals of computer science, software engineering and artificial intelligence.

This programme will equip you with both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that employers require for graduate roles in the tech sector – whether they're general technology positions or specialised roles that combine computer science with your original degree area.

You will learn through a programme of related lectures, labs and tutorials covering topics such as software engineering, object-oriented programming, algorithms and data structures, cybersecurity risk management, cyber threat detection, project management, and artificial intelligence.

As part of the programme, you will learn the theoretical aspects of software engineering and will also experience the practical aspects, by working in a small team tasked with analysis, design and implementation of software.  You will use tools, methodologies and practices widely adopted in the technology industry.

A third of your study time will be devoted to an individual dissertation, where you will collaborate closely with staff to carry out research in topics such as machine learning, cybersecurity, or software development.

You will develop technical and soft skills – in areas such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity – that will prepare you for in-demand technology careers in both industry and academia.
