Program Overview

The Pre-Master's is a two-term programme that prepares you to succeed in a postgraduate degree at Cardiff University. There are two routes to choose from, with sub-routes within them related to your chosen degree subject. You will study a combination of English language preparation and subject-specific content, and progress to a master's degree when you complete the programme.

Business, Economics, Social Sciences and Humanities
Work towards studying your master’s degree in a wide range of subjects including Business Management, Education, Journalism and Sustainability, Planning and Environmental Policy. There are three routes: Business Management, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Human Geography and Planning.

Journalism, Media And Communications
The course aims to develop an in-depth understanding of how media work across a variety of social, cultural, economic and political contexts.
We focus on the academic study of journalism, but also offer opportunities for the development of professional skills through optional modules in the second semester and through research.
The course provides insights into how journalism is changing in a globalised context, exploring key debates and issues in journalism studies today. It also provides training in the use of a range of research skills in journalism studies, to support academic scholarship in the field of journalism studies.
You will learn to assess how media are linked to forces of globalisation, political institutions, global responses to war and conflict, and environmental challenges, amongst others.
You will explore the roles of new information and communication technologies, their opportunities and challenges, their democratic potential and their regulation
We will consider issues of citizenship, race, gender, ethnicity and class that are shaping contemporary forms of news media content.
This programme offers knowledge and expertise for a career in the journalism, media and communication industries or as a foundation for PhD research.
