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 .
Bachelor ’ s degrees
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 degrees
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 .
