Pre-sessional courses for postgraduate applicants

If your English level does not meet the University’s entry requirements, a pre-sessional course offers you a chance to develop your English and academic skills before progressing onto your course of study. 

Harper Adams University accepts students for postgraduate study who have successfully completed a pre-sessional course at Keele University, achieving the level of English required for entry at Harper Adams. Keele is situated in rural Staffordshire just 45 minutes’ drive from Harper Adams University.

Details of the courses, course costs and entry requirements are available on Keele’s website by following the link below.

How to apply

For further information, and links to the application forms for the Keele University pre-sessional courses, email Heather Hogan, Postgraduate Office Manager.

You will need to apply to both Keele University for the pre-sessional course and Harper Adams University for the postgraduate course and will be considered by each University separately based on the entry requirements for each course. You will require a separate CAS to apply for a Tier 4 visa from Keele University to study on their pre-sessional course. Once you have successfully completed this course (and have met all of the other entry requirements for your chosen course of study at Harper Adams) you would be issued with a CAS from Harper Adams for your postgraduate studies.
