Dear friends,

I would like to ask some questions regarding pre-sessional courses in several UK universities prior directly entrance in Master's degree:

I looked at the entry requirment of pre-sessional course at UCL and wondered that why its requirement is so lower than other universities otherwise UCL is in top 5 UK university?
This means that if I get IELTS just 5.5 or above, I will able to apply this pre-sess in UCL and direct in Master afterthat. In contrast, IELTS 5.5 could not be applied in other Universities such as KCL or Bristol?

Or its reason is pre-sess in UCL is much hader than the rests? Could anyone explain this for me please....
