Overview
The English Foundation Program is not a prerequisite for an EU degree. However, EU is an English-speaking business school and all classes, assignments, exams, lectures and final dissertations are carried out in English. If students need to improve their English to meet EU’s program admission requirements, this specialized program will help them refine their language skills and prepare them for our programs.
English is essential for a successful career in international business. The English Foundation Program is a one-semester (13-week) course with start dates in September, February and June. Students will take a final exam at the end of the course. Upon successful completion of the English Foundation Program, students will be automatically accepted into their chosen EU bachelor’s, master’s or MBA program if other admission requirements are met.
Note: Please note that students may attend classes remotely in the event of extenuating circumstances, for example unavoidable late arrival to their campus city.
