Choosing The Right Abbey DLD Course For You

• PRE A-LEVEL AND SUPPORT PROGRAMME
• ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROGRAMMES
• A Level Preparation Programme & EFL

Through Abbey DLD College's dedicated department, they prepare international students for International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assessments, recognised by all British universities.  If the student's first language is not English, they will be required to attend IELTS classes, unless their IELTS score is already high enough for the university of their choice. Most universities require students to achieve an IELTS score of around 6.5 to 7.0.  Their courses will not only help develop the student's English language skills; they will also enable them to become more proficient in written English for A Level examinations.

• GCSE
• One or two year GCSE programme

Many of Abbey DLD College's younger students (15 to 16 years old) choose to study seven or eight subjects at GCSE level, before progressing on to A Levels.

• A-LEVEL
• Two year A Level programme (September start)

The two-year A Level course follows the traditional UK pattern of three or four subjects, usually studied from the age of 16 or 17. Students may choose any subjects they wish, allowing for timetabling and their standard of English. If entry to a UK university is the student's ultimate aim,Abbey DLD College will help the student choose the most appropriate A Levels for their preferred university/degree.

• 18-month A Level (January start)

The content for the 18-month A level is identical to the 2-year A level, but students study the initial Advanced Subsidiary (AS) content in an accelerated programme between January and June of the first year, before joining the second year of the standard A Level course in September.

The UK has an international reputation for the quality of its education system. Qualifications offered by British schools, colleges and universities are recognised globally as hallmarks of excellence and distinction. Four of its universities – Oxford, Cambridge, University College London (UCL) and Imperial – regularly feature in the world’s top ten, so it is no surprise that employers around the world look favourably upon UK graduates.

The benefits of studying in the UK reach far beyond qualifications and certificates, however. English is the international language of business and becoming fluent is one of the most important skills any ambitious student can develop. The UK also offers more help to international students than any other country, from learning support to assistance with visa applications.
