Intensive preparation for a Masters degree

• 10 hours of English for Academic Purposes & IELTS preparation
• 6 hours of Meeting and Seminar Skills or English Oral Presentation Skills
• 5 hours of Study Skills
• 4 hours of Case Studies in Business

If you join the three term course, you'll also study Quantitative Methods, Finance, Operations Management, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Information Technology, GMAT Preparation (where appropriate), Economics and Business Law.

Towards the end of your course you will sit the IELTS exam and GMAT, if appropriate.

Expert counselling to help you choose the right Masters course

Successful completion of the MQP will qualify you for guaranteed entry onto Masters degrees at universities which recognise the programme.  You will receive expert counselling to help you to choose the right university and postgraduate course for you, including visits to and from universities.  You will also have time to become accustomed to UK culture meaning you can concentrate on your Masters without the added complication of cultural readjustment.

We understand that settling into a new life at university after graduating from Bellerbys can be difficult for some students. For this reason, we are now offering a new, optional academic counselling service called Supervision Plus to help those students adjust in their first terms at university.

Students graduating from the MQP course to a British university can sign up for this optional service at the beginning, during or at the end of their studies at Bellerbys.
