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.
