This programme is designed to prepare international students for postgraduate study at one of our university partners. The IPMP will allow you to improve your English while learning the study skills and research methods that you will need during your postgraduate degree studies.

This programme lasts one academic year (nine months). You will undertake up to 25 hours of classroom-based study per week. Students will be expected to timetable self-study hours in addition to classroom-based hours.

Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate semester and will include formative and summative assignments and other assessment tasks. Assessments will be designed to demonstrate learning across the individual modules of the programme and to allow you to experience a wide range of the assessment methods used in French postgraduate programmes.

Assessments will normally include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examinations and unseen written examinations.
