Dubai: Emirati students have a unique opportunity to study at a prestigious military college in the United Kingdom.
The Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College specialises in developing young people for a career in the military or defence civil service. However, under the Welbeck Private Scheme (WPS), students are not be committed to joining the armed forces or civil service.
For the first time a limited number of international students will be accepted to undertake A Levels at the college as part of the WPS.
Students from the Gulf Cooperation Council will be accepted at its Leicestershire campus in England.
The college expects applications from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, given the institution’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading Sixth Form colleges.
Over the last five years, 100 per cent of the college’s students have passed their A Level examinations, and in 2012 Welbeck students achieved an average 87 percent pass rate at A and B grades.
The college also sends an increasing number of students to Oxford and Cambridge each year. The College anticipates a high demand for placements from international students due to the state-of-the-art facilities, inspirational teaching and a dynamic community.
Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College is currently accepting international applications for the September 2014 intake of Welbeck Private Scheme students
