Pre-Master in Life and Medical Sciences Leading to Master of Science in Sustainability

Program Overview

A postgraduate pathway is a single course comprising two stages of study; Pre-Master’s and Master’s. When you successfully complete the full pathway you will be awarded a Master’s degree from Anglia Ruskin University College

Advantage of Anglia Ruskin University College Postgraduate Pathway

The postgraduate pathway is designed for students from a variety of backgrounds who:

  • Require additional English language training
  • Come from a different academic environment to that of the UK
  • Have been away from studies for a period of time
  • Are looking to fine-tune skills already gained during undergraduate studies, employment or both

If you fall into any of the above categories, choosing the postgraduate pathway at Anglia Ruskin University College is the right decision.

The Pre-Master’s pathway will prepare you for future postgraduate studies by giving you confidence and expertise in areas relevant to your taught Master’s degree. You will:

  • Develop your fundamental knowledge and understanding of the basic principles relevant to your chosen degree
  • Develop basic numerical techniques, research methodologies and ICT, presentation and communication skills
  • Gain a competent set of transferable skills that will help you in your academic studies and future career, and enable you to make informed decisions
  • Attain the necessary level of language competence specific to your chosen field of study.

Pre-Master's (Stage 1)

The Pre-Master’s course is Stage 1 of the postgraduate pathway, it has been designed to prepare students who have not qualified for direct entry to Anglia Ruskin University College Master’s degrees, for postgraduate level studies.

Undertaking a Pre-Master’s course will provide you with the time to adjust to the rigorous research and independent study requirements of postgraduate studies and prepare you to get the most out of your postgraduate study at Anglia Ruskin University College.

Master's (Stage 2)

The Master’s (Stage 2) offers students the chance to build on what they have learned during the Pre-Master’s and extend their professional understanding about their relevant area of study. A taught Master’s degree usually consists of a series of specialist modules in structured class, seminar or tutorial formats. A research thesis component may be included, but is much shorter than what is required for a Master’s degree by research. However, most taught masters’ degrees will have a final major project or dissertation component. The Master’s (Stage 2) is delivered by Anglia Ruskin University College

MSC Sustainability

  • Designed and delivered as a partnership between ARU and Eden Project, this course is 85% online, with five week-long 'residentials' – two of them at the Eden Project, Cornwall.
  • Undertake a placement in a workplace of your choice to hone your skills as a Sustainability Changemaker.
  • Benefit from experiential, active and peer-to-peer based learning.
  • Customise your degree according to your learning needs and interests. Many assignments are 'free topic', following a set structure but allowing you to focus on a sustainability-related topic of your choice.
  • Flexible entry requirements: we'll consider applicants without a 2:1 honours degree if they can evidence equivalent experience and potential to succeed.

On this Masters degree you'll learn about key sustainability challenges, and how we can address the complexity and uncertainty inherent in them all and make the best possible practical and policy decisions.

This course is available full-time or part-time and is open to graduates from all disciplines. It attracts students of all ages and cultural backgrounds.

As an MSc Sustainability student, you'll gain practical experience of addressing sustainability challenges and meet inspirational leaders who are already doing just that. You'll also practice using your new sustainability skills in a research context and through a 200-hour work placement.
