Introducing our Level 3 Triple Diplomas

Ideal for students who want to focus their attention on developing in-depth subject knowledge and who prefer coursework to exams, Level 3 Triple Diplomas offer a rich and rewarding programme of study.

Taking two years to complete and with a career-focused bias, these qualifications are equivalent to 3 A Levels and carry the same UCAS points, allowing learners to access the same university courses as students who have gone down a traditional A Level pathway. 

  • Advanced Skills and Knowledge: Build on what you have already learned and gain more advanced skills in your chosen subject.
  • Better Job Prospects: Improve your chances of getting a job with practical skills and qualifications that employers value.
  • Step to Higher Education: Get ready for further study at higher levels, like Level 3 courses, by developing the necessary academic and practical skills.
  • Boost Confidence and Independence: Increase your confidence and independence through hands-on learning and real-world applications.
  • Focused Learning: Concentrate on specific areas of interest, allowing you to tailor your education to your career goals.
  • Supportive Learning Environment: Enjoy a supportive and dynamic learning environment that encourages personal and academic growth.
T Levels

If you're academically strong but you have a skilled career route in mind, a T Level will give you a head start into your chosen industry.

  • Stand Out to Employers
  • Broaden Your Skill Set
  • Compete for the Best University Places

Student Case Study - Ryan

Dreams of being on a Netflix show or having the chance to become a backing dancer on tour with an international artist are what have motivated Ryan to pursue his love of performing arts.

Ryan was quick to point out the advantages here of smaller class sizes, the familiarity of the campus and the fantastic support he's received from industry-specialist tutors, including weekly one-to-one feedback sessions.

Ryan also drew attention to the fantastic onsite facilities for performing arts students at the College which include dedicated rehearsal spaces, a dance studio, a working theatre which is open to the public and a state-of-the-art immersive pod, which he's looking forward to working in more extensively in the coming months.

Student Case Study - Jack

Following two years studying for a Level 3 triple diploma in Animal Science at B&FC, Jack has secured a highly coveted place to study Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at UCLan. On track to get a distinction for his course , Jack was delighted to get on to the UCLan programme as veterinary medicine is known to be extremely competitive. It also proved that it isn't necessary to go down the traditional A Level route to progress onto popular university courses which certainly wouldn't have been right for Jack.

"I like the fact that this programme focused on coursework as I felt that I could really demonstrate my skills and knowledge. I'm not strong in exams but that doesn't mean I'm any less able."

Jack also liked the smaller class sizes here and the support he got from his tutors. They arranged mock interviews for his university place which gave him confidence when it came to the real thing and always supported him to hit the grades he needed to succeed.

    Entry requirements for Level 3 triple diploma courses at B&FC typically include having at least 4 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English, maths and sometimes science depending on the course, or a Level 2 Diploma in a relevant subject.
