Pre-sessional Boarding Pass: Online

Pre-sessional Boarding Pass is the first wholly online component of a 15-week Pre-sessional Course in English for Academic Purposes for international students continuing onto a Masters degree programme in Management. The tutored course was introduced in 2011 and 60 international students with an entry level of IELTS 5.5 or equivalent enrolled for the course and successfully completed it, submitting course assignments in reading and writing online prior to their arrival in Southampton to participate in the final 10 weeks face to face.

Student course evaluations and satisfaction levels were high. Here are some of the students' comments about their experience of Pre-sessional Boarding Pass: Online:

• In this course, I learned a large amount of new knowledge preparing for my Masters (degree programme) and a good online learning experience also.
• I think the online lessons provide information that has good organisation every week and (is) related with assignments and quizzes - There are many examples in the lessons and it is easy to understand.
• I gained knowledge about writing, reading and study skills which are useful for my main course. Moreover, I went over grammar and vocabulary through a weekly test. That helped me avoid doing mistakes.
