BTECs are specialist qualifications that are an alternative to A Levels and GCSEs providing students with a unique and individualised education. This allows DLD to meet the needs of individual students and provide them with practical, hands-on experience while maintaining essential subject theory. DLD College London offers BTECs as part of the Sixth Form and Upper School curriculum. The BTEC qualifications that are part of the Sixth Form are the equivalent to either three A Levels (Diploma) or just one A Level (Certificate). At Upper School, we offer four different Level 2 BTECs each equivalent to one GCSE. At Level 3, they are accepted by 95% of UK universities and recognised by 100 countries worldwide. DLD graduates have gone on to study at some of the best universities in the UK including Russell Group universities such as Bristol, Exeter, Liverpool, Nottingham, and Sheffield and London-based universities such as City University and Goldsmiths as well as internationally in Monaco and Chicago. A number of our Media students have, and are attending, university courses endorsed by Screen Skills, an organisation dedicated to developing the skills and talent of those wishing to enter the different media sectors. Nowadays over a quarter of students accepted into higher education have at least one BTEC and a third of all students are accepted having solely studied BTEC programmes.
To be eligible to apply for a BTEC Extended Diploma or Certificate course at DLD, students must have at least 5 GCSEs at C (Grade 4) or above including Maths and English. International students need to have a minimum of 5.5 IELTS equivalent level (with no component less than 5.0) and will need to take Maths GCSE and IELTS alongside the BTEC course. Admission is also dependent on interview and previous academic achievements. For a BTEC Award in the Upper School (Years 10 & 11), admission is by interview and school report. International students also require IELTS Level 4.5.
