It is generally not possible to join a master's program before completing your bachelor's degree. Most universities require you to have finished your undergraduate studies before enrolling in a master's course.

Some exceptions exist:
- Accelerated or combined degree programs: Certain universities offer integrated programs where you can work toward both degrees simultaneously, but you must still complete your bachelor's requirements before officially starting the master's portion.
- Conditional admission: Some institutions may grant you a conditional offer if you are in your final year of undergraduate study, but you must provide proof of graduation before the master's program begins.

Admission policies vary by university and are subject to change.
