4 How Embassy Pathways works Embassy Pathways gives you an English language qualification recognised by over 60 universities and colleges around the world, without the need to sit IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge exams. What are the course requirements? Embassy Pathways courses are for students who have successfully completed high school in their home country, and are ready to start their undergraduate education, or have successfully completed their first degree and want to progress to a Masters degree course. For Pre-Masters students, conditional acceptance will be based on the results and relevance of your undergraduate degree study. Conditional acceptance agreements extend to some Masters degree programmes throughout Australia and Canada. Our trusted university partners know that students who complete our courses are well-prepared to succeed in degree study. Because of our international reputation for excellence in English language training, colleges and universities throughout the English speaking world see an Embassy qualification as evidence of solid preparation and commitment. How do I apply? After submitting an application for the Pathways course through Embassy, our highly trained International Admissions Counselors will assist in the application process to the college(s) or university(s) of your choice including the submission of all materials on your behalf. Our partners in the USA extend conditional agreements to their undergraduate degree programmes only. Not sure where to study yet? You can start an Embassy Pathway Course even if you haven t yet decided upon your chosen course of degree study. Our academic counsellors will advise you and help with your application after arrival, even if your chosen institution is outside the Embassy pathway network. What will I learn? Embassy Pathways is an intensive training programme and is designed to equip you with the skills that you need to succeed at university. During the course, you will focus on language skills, academic reading and writing, listening, speaking and academic vocabulary. We continuously assess your progress through classwork and assignments as well as mid-term tests and tutorials. On successfully completing the course, your certificate or diploma enables you to progress directly to degree level study. On arrival, a placement test will define your current language ability. We then evaluate the amount of training you ll need through English language skills assessment and needs analysis. Throughout your course, we continuously assess your work to make sure you are on track to complete it on time. Mid-term and end-of-term assessments, as well as tutorials and progress reports, ensure that you know how you are progressing. Upon successful completion of your course, you ll also receive a Certificate of Achievement awarded by our academic board. This outlines in detail the skills you have attained in all areas of language proficiency. Across the globe there are different educational requirements for university entry, and Embassy Pathways courses vary from country to country to suit the needs of the national system they serve. However, the philosophy behind our methods is consistent worldwide, and the goals and quality of each course allows for easy transfer between programmes. Academic content, number of lessons, and outcomes are common to all courses. How do the Embassy levels work? All Embassy Pathways courses are divided into four stages. Depending on the institution, you will usually need to successfully complete a minimum of Stage 3 to commence undergraduate study, and Stage 4 to begin a graduate degree.

5 8 9 Australia Australia offers two main types of higher education: careerfocused training in colleges, and more academic university courses. We ve selected partners from both sectors to bring you some of the best education Australia has to offer. Brisbane Right in the centre of downtown Brisbane, this is one of the best appointed and equipped language institutes in Queensland, and the perfect base from which to explore your further study options in the area. Embassy Pathways Australia The Embassy Pathways course in Australia is called English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Students who successfully complete the required stage of EAP for their chosen institution are not required to take an IELTS test. The Australian Academic Year Most Australian universities and colleges have two semesters a year. One runs from February to June, and another from July to November. A number of institutions also offer a summer semester from November to January during the vacation period. Universities The public, state system has 39 universities which have an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. They offer courses leading to diplomas, Bachelors degrees and postgraduate degrees. A typical Bachelors degree takes three years to complete but some programmes, such as medicine or engineering, may take longer. Some universities also offer double degree programmes that may take up to four or five years. Technical and Vocational Colleges The public system also includes over 200 career-focused colleges known as TAFE. They mainly offer Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses, and are recognized internationally for high quality teaching and good value for money. There are also a wide range of specialized, private career colleges, usually focusing on a particular skill set. Both types of institution can offer a pathway into university for transfer to degree completion. Assessment This varies according to the course and the institution. Some courses are continually assessed throughout the semester and have final exams. Other courses are assessed by final exams only. Grades are given for subjects or units and a student typically completes four units in a semester. A three-year Bachelors degree would require the successful completion of 24 units. Postgraduate Studies Masters degrees can be completed in one or two years. Entry into postgraduate studies by coursework can be competitive and is usually based on Grade Point Average from undergraduate studies. Price Prices for courses vary considerably according to the kind of course and the length. Generally, undergraduate tuition ranges from A$20,000 to 25,000 per year. Living costs would typically range from A$12,000 to 18,610 a year depending on the student s lifestyle. TAFE colleges are usually less expensive than universities. Work International students studying in Australia on a student visa are allowed to work up to a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight. According to the course studied students may be able to remain in Australia and work for up to 18 months on a graduate visa. - W-iFi enabled - IT suite - Interactive whiteboards - Homestay or residential accommodation options - Activities and social programme every week - Shared campus with Martin College Melbourne Located adjacent to Charles Sturt University, Martin College and Taylors College, this newly refurbished centre is conveniently located and offers state-of-the-art facilities. - Wi-Fi enabled - IT suite - Interactive whiteboards - Homestay or residential accommodation options - Activities and social programme every week - Adjacent to Charles Sturt University Sydney Our largest Study Centre is located on a campus shared with Charles Sturt University and Martin College in lively Darlinghurst; a vibrant commercial district close to all city attractions. - Wi-Fi enabled - IT suite - Interactive whiteboards - Homestay or residential accommodation options - Activities and social programme every week - Shared campus with Charles Sturt University and Martin College This is an intensive course which provides the most effective pathway to an Australian university or vocational college.

13 24 25 USA With almost 5,000 institutions, the United States has the largest and most well-respected higher education system in the world. Reflecting this incredible choice of opportunities, our partners include state universities, elite private liberal arts colleges and affordable community colleges. The Academic Year in the USA Most American universities and colleges operate on an academic year divided into two semesters, lasting weeks with winter and summer breaks in between. One term is from September to December and the second term from January until May. Most will run intensive courses during the summer and winter break as an option for accelerated study. Universities and Colleges In the USA the terms university and college are more synonomous than in other parts of the world, with very little difference between the two. Usually universities are larger institutions containing different colleges of study on the campus whereas colleges tend to be a lot smaller. Community Colleges Community Colleges in the USA are sometimes referred to as Junior Colleges or Technical Colleges. They are public institutions that grant two year Associate degrees or certificates in specialized areas of technical study. Assessment At the end of each semester, students usually take exams for each course they have studied, and coursework is also assessed. Grades are given, and a Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated on a scale from A (4 points) to F (0 points). Price Private universities and colleges are the most expensive, with tuition, room and board usually costing about $40,000 per year. State universities are cheaper at around $25,000 for tuition, room and board but classes have more students. Community college is the least expensive option, costing as little as $6,000 per year for tuition alone and has large class sizes. Work International students are not permitted to work in the United States. It is possible, however, for students to work for up to 20 hours per week on campus, although jobs can t be guaranteed. When students complete their degree, they can take Optional Practical Training (OPT). This provides for temporary employment authorisation for up to 29 months after they graduate.

20 38 39 Canada Canada has over 200 state run post-secondary institutions that fall into two categories. Colleges have more career-focused programmes whereas universities offer more academic and theory-focused degrees. We have selected partners across both sectors in Canada to provide you with the best study options possible. The Canadian Academic Year The academic year at most colleges and universities is divided into two semesters, from September to December and from January to April. Most institutions also offer spring and summer sessions in order to fast track completion of your programme. Universities There are 98 state run degree granting universities in Canada that are recognized for offering a high quality education and research opportunities. Undergraduate programmes are generally 3-4 years in length and may offer co-op opportunities with local colleges. Colleges Colleges offer hands-on training and are known for their high quality teaching as well as great value for your money. Certificate programmes are generally one year while diplomas are generally 2-3 years in length. Colleges have also begun to offer high quality 3-4 year degree programmes. Assessment Students in college and university programmes will normally be required to take mid-term and final exams. Coursework such as essays, assignments, lab work and presentations may also count toward the final grade for each term. Some graduate programmes also require completion of a thesis or research paper. Graduate Studies Masters degrees can generally take one to two years to complete. Admission to a graduate programme can be competitive and require additional test results. Price Canada offers the lowest tuition rates for international students compared to the UK, Australia, and the USA. The average tuition cost for a foreign student for one school year (8 months) in an undergraduate programme is C$12,000. Postgraduate tuition fees vary much more by course and subject, but are very competitive compared to other Englishspeaking countries. Housing for the academic year is approximately C$6,000 including facilities and meals. Work International students studying at a state run college or university may be eligible to work during or after their studies. Students may be eligible for a co-op, off-campus or post-graduation work permit. Students will require a study permit and their main purpose should be to study. Students with an offcampus work permit can not work more than 20 hours per week. A post-graduation work permit will not exceed the length of the student s programme and will offer valuable Canadian work experience.

24 1. Payment of Fees Full fees must be paid before visa documents are issued and no later than 14 days before arrival. In Australia, students with multiple study periods must pay the total due on enrolment before visa documents are issued and no later than 14 days before arrival. Subsequent instalment payments must be received in accordance with the due dates stated on the invoice. In California students with programmes more than 16 weeks in duration may elect to pay in full or to pay tuition in instalments. Students choosing to pay in instalments must pay the total due on enrolment before visa documents are issued and no later than 14 days before arrival. Subsequent instalment payments may be received in accordance with the due dates stated on the invoice. Instalment due dates for each course are determined according to the length of the programme. Instalments will be no more than the equivalent of 16 weeks worth of the programme tuition until the programme duration midpoint, when any outstanding balance must be received in full. Transfers and accommodation documents will be released once payment has been received in full (where applicable). For all late payments made after the due date, a fee of 2% of the payment amount will be added. 2. Services The company reserves the right to change details of its services, including courses, facilities, accommodation and course dates, where circumstances beyond the company s control necessitate such changes or where the number of enrolments is not enough to operate a course viably. 3. Course Entry Levels All Pathways courses require minimum levels of English for entry. If after the placement test, a student is found to be below the minimum level required to start the course, the school reserves the right to place the student in a class with fewer lessons and/or a different curriculum. Where this results in extending the duration of a student s course, Embassy may need to issue a new Certificate of Enrolment. Students may be transferred to the nearest centre running a lower level course. 4. Changes to Enrolments The company reserves the right to charge an Administration Fee (GBP50; USD80; CAD80; AUD80) each time course or accommodation details are changed or cancelled after a place has been confirmed. Additionally, when a change request for a previously confirmed accommodation is received less than 7 days in advance of the scheduled arrival date, an equivalent week s accommodation penalty fee will be charged. These fees will not apply to upgraded or extended courses. 5. Changes to Airport Transfers Notification of change to airport transfers must be sent to our International Admissions Centre at least 2 full working days prior to the designated arrival time. If notice is not received the company cannot be held liable for operational errors, and an additional Administration Fee will apply. 6. Accommodation and Travel details Students that have booked Embassy accommodation will receive details upon receipt of payment and travel information and no more than 14 days prior to arrival. If travel information is received less than 2 working days prior to the scheduled arrival date then the company may not be in a position to provide the transfer or accommodation service for the weekend of arrival. 7. Accident & Medical Insurance Every student must have appropriate insurance and provide a document with the student s name and date of coverage as proof. The company recommends StudyCare insurance which is tailored to the needs of international students. Cover under the StudyCare insurance policy does not commence until the insurance fees have been paid in full. StudyCare is not available to students within Australia. In the USA, Canada, and the UK, students not wishing to take StudyCare must present an equivalent insurance certificate on arrival. Students without insurance must take StudyCare. In Australia, it is compulsory for those on Student Visas to take Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of the time they are in Australia. Students need to buy OSHC before coming to Australia, to cover them from when they arrive. This ensures they have adequate health care arrangements while studying in Australia. If the student chooses for Embassy to arrange OSHC for the first course/year only of their programme, it is their responsibility to either extend or take out OSHC for the rest of their time in Australia. They must provide evidence of cover for the entire study period before a Confirmation of Enrolment will be issued. There will be no refund of StudyCare Insurance post-arrival. 8. General Refund Policy All refunds will be sent to the account of the Embassy representative to whom the fees were originally paid, or to the individual from whom Embassy has received the original direct payment. If a student s visa application is rejected after payment has been received all fees, excluding any cancellation fees detailed in the Cancellation Policy below, will be refunded within 28 days, provided a visa refusal letter is received by our International Admissions Centre at least 2 working days before the course is due to start and the student has fulfilled all requirements for a visa application. Students in California must sign a California State Enrolment & Refund Agreement form. Refunds will be processed according to these terms and conditions. Australia In Australia this agreement, and the availability of complaints and appeals processes, does not remove the right of the student to take action under Australia s consumer protection laws. Refunds will be provided to students within 28 days if the student defaults based on a visa denial provided the International Admissions Centre receive the visa denial letter. If the school defaults, the student is eligible to receive a refund of the unexpended pre-paid tuition fees which the student has paid to the school. The refund amount will be based on the portion of tuition for which the student has paid but for which tuition has not yet been received. In the unlikely event that the school is unable to deliver a course in full, the student will be offered the refund amount in accordance with the above paragraph. The refund will be paid within 14 days of the day on which the course ceased being provided. Alternatively, the student may be offered enrolment in a suitable alternative course by the school at no extra cost. The student has the right to choose whether they would prefer a full refund of course fees, or to accept a place on another course. If they choose placement on another course, Embassy will ask them to sign a document to indicate acceptance of the placement. If the school is unable to provide a refund or to place the student on an alternative course the Australian government s Tuition Protection Scheme s (TPS) director will provide access to a suitable alternative course. 9. Cancellation Policy Embassy defines cancellation as the period prior to start of first course. All cancellations must be made in writing to our International Admissions Centre and the following refund policies apply: Enrolment Fee, Courier Fee, Accommodation Placement Fee, or Administration Fee will not be refunded for any student cancelling their course before arrival. Tuition Refunds before Arrival UK, USA and Canada Where cancellations are received in writing more than 14 days before the first course start date 100% of tuition fees will be refunded, but any courier fee, enrolment fee, UK Visa application fee (CAS) and added administration fees are non-refundable.

Withdrawal Policy Embassy defines withdrawal as termination of a course after the first course has started. Any withdrawal must be made in writing to the centre director of the school where the student is studying. Enrolment Fee, Courier Fee, Accommodation Placement Fee, and StudyCare or OHSC premium will not be refunded for any student terminating their course after arrival. Tuition Refunds after Arrival Written notification of withdrawal must be provided as a condition for making refunds.
