Pre-Top Up Programme (PTUP)
The Pre-Top Up Programme (PTUP) been designed to help international students transition into the final year of an undergraduate degree programme with De Montfort University (DMU).
The programme is offered as a one term (of 10 weeks) or two term (of 20 weeks) and upon successful completion of the PTUP, students will continue directly to the top-up or final year of selected programmes at DMU.
If you do not have the grades required for direct entry to the top-up or final year of an undergraduate degree at DMU, the PTUP is the ideal route for you.
The PTUP will support you in your transition from learning in your home country to learning alongside UK university students. The PTUP is designed to help you develop your skills in English language and acquire advanced study skills and critical thinking skills to continue with confidence to the top-up or final year of your undergraduate degree at the university.
You will start your PTUP in April (two terms) or June (one term) and upon successful completion, you will continue directly to your chosen undergraduate degree at DMU in September.
