Welsh Baccalaureate
The Welsh Baccalaureate is a qualification for 14 to 19 year old students in Wales.
It combines personal development skills with exisiting qualifications like A levels, NVQs and GCSEs to make one wider award that is valued by employers and universities. The Welsh Baccalaureate gives broader experiences than traditional learning programmes.
The core of the Welsh Baccalaureate counts for 120 UCAS tariff points, equivalent to an A Grade at GCE A level.
It can be studied in English or Welsh, or a combination of the two languages.
Aims
The Welsh Baccalaureate aims to achieve a broader, more balanced curriculum for 14-19 year olds, helping students to develop knowledge and skills that higher education institutions and employers want them to have when they leave school.
The emphasis is on learning through doing, and the same value is placed on vocational as academic qualifications.
