Il sistema scolastico in Australia
Build valuable skills and credentials by studying ‘down under’. Australia welcomes students
from all over the world and is an increasingly popular study destination.
Schooling in Australia
Education in Australia is compulsory for ten years,
but university-bound students study for twelve.
Primary and secondary school
Australian students study from Grade 1 to Grade
10. 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 Grade 10,
students sit their School Certificate examinations.
They can then choose to leave school and enter the
workforce, attend a vocational school or continue
studying for two more years to complete their Year
12 Certificate, required for university studies.
Bachelor’s degrees
Upon completion of their Year 12 Certificate,
students usually undertake a Bachelor of Science
(BSc) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree programme
for three years, although some degrees take four or
five years to complete. International students must
demonstrate fluency in English and the equivalent
of the Year 12 Certificate from their own country
to enter university. Alternatively, students can take
an EF University Foundation Year and progress
directly to a degree programme at one of our
partner universities. The entrance requirement for
international students is normally an English level
of at least IELTS 6.0.
Postgraduate degrees
Postgraduate programmes are offered in Australia for
Master’s degrees in the Arts (MA), Sciences (MSc),
Business Administration (MBA) and Doctorate
degrees (PhD). Master’s programmes generally last
for one or two years. Doctorate programmes usually
require four to five years of additional advanced
study. Candidates for an MBA degree will need at
least two years of managerial level work experience
in addition to a bachelor’s degree. The entrance
requirement for international students is normally
an English level of at least IELTS 6.5. Alternatively,
international students can attend EF’s Pre-Master’s or
Pre-MBA Programme and progress directly to one of
our partner universities.
