The English Foundation Program is not a prerequisite for an EU degree. However, the 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 the 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-term (10-week) course with start dates in October, February, June and August. 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.

Transcripts are considered official if they bear an official school stamp and the signature of the principal. They should also include the school’s contact information.

If the documents are not in English, they must be sent with a certified English translation.

Submit one letter of recommendation from an academic advisor who is familiar with your academic performance and potential for leadership. Any letter not written in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

Your motivation letter will help the EU Admissions Department get to know you, understand why you wish to attend the EU and determine your level of self-expression.
