Pre-Master's and Pre-sessional English

UCL Pre-Master's and Pre-sessional English courses are for international students who are aiming to study for a postgraduate degree at UCL. The courses will develop your academic English and academic skills required to succeed at postgraduate level.

The Graduate Employment Based (GEB) route on the EYITT programme is designed for those already working within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Early Years Teacher Status (EYTS) will be recommended for graduates who have met all the Early Years Teachers' Standards. This is different from Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), which is required to lead learning in Local Authority maintained schools. EYTS enables people to be specialist teachers of 0-5yr olds within all other areas of the sector, which is the provision where most children in the EYFS attend.
