Learn about the United Kingdom's world-renowned school system. Why study in the UK? The UK’s education system is widely regarded as one of the best in the world – and you’ll benefit from all it has to offer with the help of EF. Once you graduate from an EF University Preparation Program, you’ll not only get to enjoy the world-leading facilities found at universities across the nation but also expert tuition and Britain’s renowned student life.
Education in the UK Compulsory education begins at the age of five and finishes at the age of 16 when students take their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSEs) in up to 10 subjects. Afterward, students can take A Levels at a sixth form college. Students usually study three to four subjects, which are commonly related to their desired degree subject. A Level grades are a determining factor in university admittance.
The bachelor’s degree Undergraduate students in the UK typically pursue a bachelor’s degree that specializes 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 an EF University Foundation Program, which is equivalent to Grade 13.
Master’s, MBA and PhD degrees A traditional Master’s or MBA degree typically lasts one year and requires successful completion of both exams and a dissertation 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.

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.
Community colleges
Public universities
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.
Commonly referred to as state universities, public universities are founded and operated by state government entities, receiving most of their funding from the state and/or federal government. Generally, they have statewide admission requirements and cost less than private universities.
Liberal arts colleges A liberal arts college places emphasis primarily on undergraduate study, and can be private or public. Some also offer graduate programs in business administration, law, nursing and medicine.
Private universities Private universities receive no governmental financial support. They are funded through faculty research grants, tuition fees and alumni donations. Students often choose private universities due to small class sizes, technological resources and research facilities.

Postgraduate degrees
Australia provides students with the perfect base to earn a globally recognized degree. Choose from campus- or citybased universities found across the country and enjoy traditional Aussie student life – firstly with EF and then at the university of your choice.
Upon completion of their Year 12 Certificate, students in Australia usually undertake a bachelor’s 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 partner universities, as well as prepare students for the academic demands of university.
Postgraduate programs are offered in many disciplines in Australia. Master’s degrees require a minimum three year fulltime bachelor’s degree and demonstrated fluency in English, such as an IELTS result of 6.5 or higher. The EF Pre-Master’s and Pre-MBA Program prepares students for the academic rigor of master’s degrees and can waive the language requirement with our university partners upon successful completion of the course.
Education in Australia Education in Australia is compulsory for eleven years, but university-bound students study for thirteen. 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 Year 12, students sit their Higher School Certificate examinations.

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. 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.

Master’s, MBA or PhD degrees: Ages 21+ A master’s or MBA degree typically lasts one year and requires both exams and a thesis to graduate. 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."

School system of France
62
France has a long history in academic excellence. Today, its school system provides students with a clear pathway to success. Why study in France? France is home to several world-renowned academic institutions that have helped shape the modern world. From prestigious art schools to business-focused institutions, French universities have been providing students with a first-class education for centuries. Today, students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, small class sizes, low tuition fees and leading professors in universities across the country. Education in France French students first attend school at the age of 6 and stay in L’École Primaire until the age of 10. Between 11 and 15, students attend Le Collège, which is equivalent to middle school. Students must pass a test called Le Brevet to graduate from Le Collège and progress to Le Lycée. At Le Lycée, students spend three years studying for their Baccalauréat général, which is the qualification required to enter university. Undergraduate Students can apply to their chosen public and private universities once they have gained the necessary academic and language qualifications. Public universities accept all applicants who have the Baccalauréat général or international equivalent; private institutions, however, have a much stricter application process, including an entrance exam. Tuition fees also vary depending on the type of university and course. Undergraduate degrees usually last for three years and focus on one subject. Students collect up to 60 ECTS (credits) per year and need 180 to graduate.

Postgraduate A master’s degree in France lasts for two years. After the first year of study, students must decide between working toward a teacher-led master’s degree or a master’s degree in research, with the latter option viewed as a PhD gateway. Depending on your course and institution, you’ll have to complete a dissertation or research project to graduate with a master’s degree. EF Paris
