Q: Que necesito para tomar un programa de Preparación Universitaria EF?

A: Most overseas students who want to do an undergraduate degree programme in the UK are required to do either A-levels (UK) or a University Foundation Year due to the differences in the education systems. Universities in Australia or North America also look favorably on applications from students who have done tertiary preparation before enrolling in an undergraduate degree program. A Pre-Masters or Pre-MBA is not mandatory but since many Masters degrees are only one or two years, they are very intense. Therefore, students need to perform from day one at university.
