Course content

The Combined Pre-sessional course offers preparation for international and EU students who have an offer with King’s and need to meet their English language requirements before starting their degree.

The Combined Pre-sessional course offers a modern way of studying, blending online and on-campus learning. It provides you flexibility by allowing you to start the course online, from the comfort of your own home.

If you'd rather start your studies in London, you still have the option of applying to our face-to-face Pre-sessional course, which is taught on-campus. The combined and face-to-face courses are equivalent, both of them aiming to provide you with the skills you need on your main degree courses.
