What is an EF University Foundation Year?Most English-speaking education systems require international students to take an additional year of secondary school studies, known as a University Foundation Year. This program is designed for high school graduates who wish to proceed to higher education in the UK, North America, Australia, Singapore, South Africa or UAE, but who lack the academic skills and language requirements to enter the first year of an undergraduate degree. The year will bridge the gap between students’ previous education, and what is expected at a university abroad. Each campus has an EF University Pathway Manager to help students apply and be placed in a full range of universities and courses.
Guaranteed admission to universityOnce you have successfully completed the program, we guarantee you admission to one of our 150 prestigious partner universities. Because EF University Foundation Year is independent, you can enjoy the widest possible choice of schools and apply to any partner university in your chosen country of study, as well as non-EF partners.
Gain the skills to succeed at universityOur EF University Foundation Year prepares you thoroughly for the challenges of higher education. You’ll learn essential study skills such as essay writing, critical thinking and group work, as well as academic English. It will also provide you with an overview of the local education system. You can specialize your studies with coursework in a major such as Business, IT, Law, Media and Communications, Tourism, Sports Science, Art, Science and Engineering.
University seminars and visitsOur EF University Preparation Abroad team will invite admissions officers from our partner universities to our campuses so you can learn first hand what each institution has to offer. These seminars are complemented by visits to local universities for an overview of their facilities.

Pathway to an English-speaking university
“Despite the fact that I came here with a pre-intermediate English level, I’ve achieved my goals and successfully passed my TOEFL exam. I often take part in the activities offered by EF – it’s great to socialize with other students in central park, go to Metropolitan museums and take part in the activities with classmates in New York and Times Square.”
Sergey Petrov from RussiaEF University Foundation Year, New York Currently at the University of Houston
“The EF University Foundation Year is giving me the skills that I need in order to deal with the requirements of a university degree. It will be the base of my studies for the following years. When learning new things, I feel like I am learning lessons through English rather than English through lessons.”
Fatemah Faridoun from Kuwait EF University Foundation Year, OxfordCurrently at Leeds University
“ I chose EF University Preparation Abroad because I was looking to enter a good university, but also for the location. I play professional football in my spare time. After class I can play football with British people, get involved in group activities and learn about different nationalities and cultures.”
Amir Abedzadeh from IranEF University Foundation Year, London
