For students already qualified academically for a Masters programme in the UK/USA/CAN/AUS/NZ/RUS, TRC Colleges offer Pre-Masters course which combines English language training with IELTS, research, presentation and study skills along with an optional of GMAT classes. Students are often referred onto this programme as a condition of their acceptance and progression onto Master’s programmes by the university offering them a place. Equally, students who have not already received an offer of a place at university attend this programme and TRC places them at one of its partner universities into a Masters programme at the end of the TRC Pre Masters Programme.
