Description

Launch your international future
Our trusted General Program is where your educational experience abroad begins. You’ll learn both inside and outside the classroom as you combine language study with academic tasks – stockpiling a wealth of knowledge to kick-start your future.

All the essentials
Gain a sound understanding and essential skills of a language. Lessons are held in the morning and afternoon, blending classroom and online learning. You may also complement your program with an internship or volunteer experience.

Exclusive Academic Year Portfolio
You'll build a portfolio throughout the program that demonstrates what you've learned and how you're able to apply it to an academic arena. You'll focus on something new every term as you develop strong language foundations and essential life skills, before channeling your new skills into a final project during your final term. It’s the ideal way to show future employers what you’ve achieved during your program.

Study outside the classroom
You’ll enhance your classroom studies with academic field trips, which you’ll use to form part of your project work – even getting the chance to create presentations to show in class.

The EF General Program is available in all EF destinations subject to visa requirements.

Total tuition time is 17 hours and 20 minutes per week.
