Can I transfer credits to the EBS
London undergraduate programmes?
The EBS London Bachelor
degrees involve intensive foreign
language study and a year spent studying
abroad, making it rather difficult to transfer into a later
stage of the programmes.
Whether we can transfer credits
from your post-secondary school studies depends on several
factors including:
- What type of secondary school qualification
you hold
- Whether the post-secondary school subjects
you studied match those on our programmes (BA
IB module list; BA IEM module
list)
- The grades obtained in your
post-secondary school subjects
Students must spend a minimum of three semesters, or a year and
a half, with EBS London in order to obtain our diploma. In
most cases, it is the student's foreign language level
which determines the duration of their studies with EBS
London.
In order for a student to start the EBSL BA course in Year 2, we
must ensure that their foreign language level corresponds to that
of our Year 2 students - upper intermediate to advanced.
We currently offer 9 foreign
languages – Arabic, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and
Spanish.
Please note that all credit transfer procedures are subject to a
foreign language test.
* Credit transfer is not possible for the postgraduate
programmes.
