and what is expected of them at a
university abroad.
This additional year of secondary school
studies is mandatory for students seeking

and highly recommended for students
who wish to study in the United States,
Australia, Singapore, France or Germany.

universities, including the University of
Exeter, University of Southampton and
University of Sussex.
University validated program
The EF Diploma in Business &
Management program is accredited by the
British Council for the teaching of English.

hours) in the first 16 weeks followed by 32
lessons of 40 minutes per week (21 hours
20 minutes) for the remaining 25 weeks,

Foundation Program, A-Levels, IB or
equivalent.

Secure guaranteed university placement on a

top-ranked Master’s, MBA or Pre-PhD program
following an intensive preparation program that
develops essential academic knowledge.

Program overview Enhance your qualifications

EF’s postgraduate programs prepare
students for entrance to a Master’s
degree, Master of Business Administration
degree or PhD program at an international
university. These 6-, 9- or 11-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
Master’s, 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 virtually any
Master’s, MBA or PhD program in your
country of study.
Our Pre-Master’s & Pre-MBA 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.
To qualify for these programs you must
have a recognized bachelor’s 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 Master’s
degree and be ready to begin work on
your thesis proposal.
A tailored program
EF’s postgraduate programs are tailored
for students who are bound for graduate
tuition, and offer the flexibility of studying
for either 6, 9 or 11 months. You will take
specialist module classes in an academic
area of your choice, to help prepare you
for your postgraduate degree and build
your overall confidence.
Across our program destinations in the
UK, USA, Australia, Germany and France,
we will ensure that you reach the required
academic and language standards in order
to succeed.
Turn over for more
program details
English and exam training
One of the goals of EF’s postgraduate
preparation programs is to help you
perfect your specialized academic skills.
All university postgraduate programs
require an official language proficiency
score for international student admissions.
Therefore, our programs include highly
structured exam training for IELTS, TOEFL
and GRE/GMAT exams, as well as a wide
range of elective classes in your academic
area. You’ll 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
and US partner universities even allow
entry without TOEFL or IELTS scores after
successful completion of EF's Pre-Master’s
or Pre-MBA Program.

School system of the USA
Why study in the USA?
US universities are a regular fixture in
global university rankings. In fact, 25 of
the world’s top 50 universities are located
in the country. With EF, you’ll have the
opportunity to apply to these institutions
while placement is guaranteed at any of
our esteemed partner universities.
Education in the USA
Schooling is mandatory for all children
aged six to 16. Elementary school typically
runs from Grade 1 to Grade 6 (ages 6 to
12), and Grades 7 to 8 (ages 13-14) are
spent at a junior high or middle school.
Grades 9-12 (ages 15 to 18) are attended at
a high school.
Partner institutions in the USA
Community colleges
Community colleges provide a two-year
associate’s degree program, often used
as a springboard to a four-year bachelor’s
degree at university. Community colleges
have fewer admission requirements than
four-year institutions.
Liberal arts colleges
A liberal arts college is an institution
that places emphasis primarily on
undergraduate study in the liberal
arts and sciences. Some also offer
graduate programs primarily in business
administration, law, nursing and medicine.
Liberal arts colleges can be private or
public.
39
Public universities
Public universities, commonly referred
to as state universities, are founded and
operated by state government entities,
receiving most of their funding from
the state and/or federal government.
Generally, these universities have
statewide admission requirements and in
general cost less than private universities.
Private universities
Private universities receive no
governmental financial support. They are
funded through faculty research grants,
tuition fees and alumni donations. The
major reasons why students choose a
private university are often due to its small
class size, technological resources and
research facilities.

 School system
of Germany

The German school system prepares students

for entrance to higher education at the
country’s top universities.

Why study in Germany? Master’s, MBA or PhD degrees: Ages 21+

German universities combine centuries
of academic heritage with state-of-the-art
facilities to ensure students graduate
with a prestigious degree. As well as
German universities, the language and
academic skills gained with EF will allow
you to attend university in Austria
and Switzerland.
Education in Germany
From the age of six or seven (depending
on the state), children attend an
elementary school called Grundschule.
They then progress to either a
Hauptschule, which prepares students for
a vocational education, or a Realschule,
which has a broader range of emphases
for intermediate pupils, or a Gymnasium,
which prepares students for higher
education with grades 11 to 12 or 13. There,
students study up to 10 subjects before
taking the Abitur, which is the academic
qualification required to enter German
universities.
University
Undergraduate students in Germany
typically pursue a bachelor’s degree which
specializes in one subject for three years.
Entrance requirements for international
students include a German proficiency test
(TestDaF) and – if the student’s 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.
A master’s 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 EF Berlin
four to five years of advanced study and
research. For most of these programs,
international students are required to
have a recognized undergraduate degree
(or Master's for a PhD program) and a
German level of at least C1. MBA programs
normally require at least two years of
work experience.
