The Postgraduate Foundation course [now Pre-Master’s programme] helped me in the way it introduced the environment of my postgraduate studies. It enabled me to gradually adjust myself to the postgraduate modules and lectures. You could say that the course successfully bridged my two academically different stages (undergraduate and postgraduate) and stylistically different states (national and international).
