School system of
the United Kingdom
The UK school system prepares students for a specialized
education at some of the worlds top universities.
Primary school: Ages 5-11

Compulsory education begins at age five when students progress from
Grade 1 to Grade 6, learning subjects such as English, Mathematics and
Science.
Secondary school: Ages 11-16
From the age of 11, students attend secondary school. In Grade 10 and
Grade 11, students prepare for their General Certificate of Secondary
Education (GCSEs), an academic qualification awarded in up to 10
subjects.
A-levels at a sixth form college: Ages 16-18
After taking GCSEs, students can choose to pursue training at a
vocational college or apprenticeship, or continue academic study for two
additional years in order prepare for exams called A-levels. Students
study three or four subjects only, which are normally related to their
desired degree subject. Their A-level grades are determining factors in
university admittance.
The bachelors degree: Ages 18-21
Undergraduate students in the UK typically pursue a bachelors degree
which specialises in one subject for three years. Entrance requirements
for international students include English proficiency (with a minimum
IELTS level 6.0) and an additional year of secondary school, known as a
EF University Foundation Program, which is equivalent to Grade 13.
Masters, MBA or PhD degrees: Ages 21+
A traditional Masters or MBA degree typically lasts one year, and requires
both exams and a thesis to graduate. Some specialized careers require
the completion of a doctoral program or PhD, which includes four to five
years of advanced study and research. For most of these programs,
international students are required to have a recognized undergraduate
degree and an English level of at least IELTS level 6.5. MBA programs
normally require at least two years of work experience.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

What is the EF Diploma in Business & Management?
This intensive 11-month program acts as an "international year
one", preparing students for fast-track entry to the second year
of a UK undergraduate program in a business or managementrelated field. Most international students must complete an EF
University Foundation Program to meet the entry requirements
of a UK bachelors degree course. The EF Diploma in Business
& Management combines a condensed EF University
Foundation Program with a Certificate of Higher Education in
Business and Management, equivalent to the first year of a
bachelors degree. As a result, upon successful completion
you may enter the second year of an undergraduate degree at
one of our partner institutions.
Guaranteed placement
When you complete EF Diploma in Business & Management,
youll reach your academic and career goals quickly and
proceed to a bachelors degree program in a business related
field. Successful graduation ensures your admission, and
also prepares you thoroughly for life at university, making
sure you achieve the best results possible. In recent years,
students enrolled in this program have been placed at many
prestigious universities including Durham University, University
of Exeter, University of East Anglia, University of Sussex,
University of Essex, Oxford Brookes University and University
of Westminster, to name just a few.

This program prepares high school

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM
Pre-Masters,

Secure guaranteed university placement on a top-ranked
Masters, MBA or Pre-PhD program.
What is the EF Pre-Masters

& Pre-MBA/Pre-PhD Program?
EFs postgraduate programs prepare students for entrance
to a Masters degree or Master of Business Administration
degree at an international university or a PhD program at
a university in the UK, USA, Australia or Germany. These
six-, nine- or eleven-month intensive programs provide
you with all the linguistic and academic skills necessary for
postgraduate study.
Progress to your choice of university
We can provide successful program graduates with
guaranteed acceptance to one of our partner universities
offering Masters, MBA or PhD programs. Not only do we
guarantee placement at an EF partner university, but we can
also assist you with your application to apply to virtually any
Masters or MBA in your country. Our Pre-Masters & PreMBA and PhD alumni have been accepted to the University
of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Harvard University,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Wharton
School at the University of Pennsylvania, just to name a few.
Enhance your qualifications
To qualify for these programs you must have a recognized
bachelors degree (or the equivalent) and the language skills
required for this level of study. For students wishing to pursue
an MBA, you will normally need at least two years work
experience, although some of our partner universities accept
successful EF Pre-MBA Program graduates with less than
two years of work experience.
For students wishing to pursue a PhD, you must have
completed a Masters degree and be ready to begin work
on your thesis proposal.
A customized program
EFs postgraduate programs are flexible in length and can
be customized, giving you the possibility to study for either
six, nine or eleven months. We will help build the necessary
language and study skills you will need to succeed in a
demanding academic environment. Following this, you will
take specialist module classes in an academic area of your
choice to help prepare you for your postgraduate degree.
English and exam training
One of the goals of EFs postgraduate preparation programs
is to help you perfect your specialized academic language
skills. All university postgraduate programs require an
official language proficiency score for international student
admissions. Therefore, our programs include highly
structured exam training for the IELTS or TOEFL exam, as
well as a wide range of elective classes in your academic
area. Youll receive the best possible preparation for your
future studies and gain the confidence and knowledge to
succeed in a competitive academic environment. Some of
our Australian partner universities even allow entry without
TOEFL or IELTS scores after successful completion of the
Pre-Masters or
Pre-MBA Program.

Build valuable skills and credentials by studying in Australia,
an increasingly popular study destination that welcomes
students from around the globe.
Primary and secondary school

Education in Australia is compulsory for eleven years, but universitybound students study for thirteen. Australian students study from
Kindergarten to Grade 10, with the option of an additional two years to
gain entrance to university. The curriculum is nationalized across Australia
with students learning core subjects such as English, Mathematics,
Science, Social Studies and Physical Education. At the end of Grade 10,
students sit their School Certificate examinations. They can then choose
to leave school and enter the workforce, attend a vocational school or
continue studying for two more years to complete their Year 12 Certificate,
required for university studies.
Bachelors degrees
Upon completion of their Year 12 Certificate, students in Australia usually
undertake a bachelors program for three to six years. In addition to their
Year 12 certificate equivalence, international students are required to
demonstrate English fluency, which can be provided by an internationally
recognized test result, such as an IELTS of 6.0 or higher. Successful
completion of the EF University Foundation Program can waive the
language requirement for entry to our many partner universities, as well as
preparing students for the academic demands of university.

GERMANY
School system
of Germany
The German school system prepares students for a
specialized education at the countrys top universities.
Grundschule: Ages 6/7-10/12 (varies between states)

From the age of six or seven, children attend an elementary school
called Grundschule.
Hauptschule and Realschule: Grades 5-9 or 5-10
Hauptschule prepares pupils for vocational education and finishes with
the Hauptschulabschluss. Realschule has a broader range of
emphasis for intermediate pupils and finishes with the final examination
Mittlere Reife.
Masters, MBA or PhD degrees: Ages 21+

A masters or MBA degree typically lasts one year, and requires both
exams and a thesis to graduate. Some specialized careers require the
completion of a doctoral program or PhD, which includes four to five
years of advanced study and research. For most of these programs,
international students are required to have a recognized undergraduate
degree and a German level of at least C1. MBA programs normally require
at least two years of work experience.
Gymnasium: Grades 11-12/13

Gymnasium is designed to prepare pupils for university and finishes with
the final examination Abitur, a qualification awarded in up to 10 subjects
after grade 12, mostly year 13. After the Abitur, students can choose
to enter the workforce, pursue training at a vocational college or enter
university. Abitur is the academic qualification required to be admitted to
German universities.
University
Undergraduate students in Germany typically pursue a bachelors degree
which specializes in one subject for three years. Entrance requirements
for international students include a German proficiency test (TestDaF)
and if the students high school diploma is not considered equivalent to
the Abitur an additional year of secondary school in Germany, known as
Studienkolleg, which is the equivalent to grade 13 at Gymnasium.
Universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen) focus on a practical
scientific approach. The range of subjects is generally not as extensive
and is focused on certain subject areas, such as technology, industry,
social affairs or media. The integrated practical phases are comprised of
internships spanning several weeks, extended project phases or entire
practical semesters.
