In your third term, you'll also complete the Capstone Project.
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.
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.
