Accelerated Pre-Masters Programme Computing, Engineering and Health Sciences (ICAS) (1 Term)
A postgraduate degree in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) can be a great way to boost your career prospects whilst letting you spend more time studying what you’re passionate about – and by studying your Masters in the UK, you’ll also be developing your English language skills on top of this. This can improve your job prospects even more, by making you an internationally employable graduate.
Our Accelerated Pre-Masters Programme in Computing, Engineering and Health Sciences is a one-term programme of study designed to help you gain the subject knowledge and English language skills necessary to thrive at a UK university – particularly the subject-specific vocabulary you will need to get the most out of your degree.
Choose your modules
You will study core modules – which are specific to your chosen subject route and progression degree.
Please note that you are expected to attend 100% of your classes at the International Study Centre or you are at risk of losing your Student visa.
Combined visa for Accelerated Pre-Master's Programme
Save time and progress smoothly to the University with a combined visa. The visa covers the duration of your studies at both the International Study Centre and Teesside University.
Progress to your degree
Once you complete your Accelerated Pre-Masters Programme pathway and achieve the required grades, you will be able to join your chosen Masters degree at Teesside University. By completing this pathway, you will be able to progress to the following degrees.
Leading to: Bioinformatics MSc
As biological sciences have become more data driven, bioinformatics is now central to modern biological research, from genetics, nutrition and epidemiology to ecology, neuroscience and biomedicine.
This programme teaches you how to manage and manipulate large datasets to reveal new insights in biological sciences. You get intensive training in a computer-based approach to biological research. You develop the computational and analytical understanding necessary as a platform for processing biological data. This involves the appreciation of biochemistry and molecular biology, together with IT and specialist skills in computer programming, data analysis, statistics and computational biology for multidisciplinary careers in research.
The North East, particularly Teesside, is an important regional, national and international hub for the life science sector, with both well established (FujiFilm Diosynth Biotechnologies, GlaxoSmithKline, Hart Biologicals) and emergent (Absolute Antibodies, StreamBio, Hexis Labs, Quantum Dx) companies. Our Darlington campus, with the University’s National Horizons Centre (NHC) and ATMOS building, is at the heart of an ecosystem of life science excellence. Where possible this course is taught at our ATMOS building.
This course develops comprehensive knowledge and understanding of bioinformatics in the 21st century. You gain the unique opportunity participate in a research-intensive course, through a combination of taught modules and an in-depth research project, using the facilities at the University’s Darlington campus. The campus also offers analytical and digital infrastructure supporting basic and applied research in biosciences and across disciplinary boundaries, aligned to academic excellence and industry needs.
