The purpose of this programme is to provide those who have Polytechnic or equivalent diplomas (minimum three years) but not university degrees an opportunity to make up for the credit deficiencies in a way which prepares them for the graduate level studies in our Master degree programmes. This bridging, preparatory course of studies is offered as a 32 credit hour, full-time programme.

Besides being offered to students with credit deficiencies, the programme is also intended for foreign students who, in spite of possessing a Bachelor’s degree, lack evidence of adequate foundation in academic preparation and/or English language. 

Students in the MPrep programme will be placed on academic probation and will need to attain a minimum cumulative before they are admitted into any Master level programme. If these minimum standards are not attained, they will not be allowed to continue in their studies at SOTE.
