International Incorporated Master’s
For Entry

- Two Term: January | April | June
At postgraduate level you can study the International Incorporated Master’s degree (IIM).
The IIM is designed for those students who do not qualify for direct entry to a postgraduate degree at the University of Dundee. This could be because of the grades achieved in your undergraduate degree; your current qualifications are not equivalent to a UK undergraduate degree or if you want to improve your academic and English language skills.
Our IIM will equip you with the advanced skills you need to complete your postgraduate study at the University of Dundee. You can study this over one or two terms depending on your academic qualifications and English language level. The one-term offers you a fast track route to your chosen degree course and is studied over three months. The two-term is studied over six months and provides additional academic English and subject-related support.

- Receive specialist support from experienced tutors
- Small group tuition
