Edexcel International's academic and vocational qualifications allow students to progress to university in many countries.
Our London Examinations GCE Advanced level qualifications are recognised and understood by universities all around the world.

BTEC Nationals are also a standard university entry qualification, not only in the UK but in an increasingly large number of countries around the world. For those students wishing to study for a degree in Art, the BTEC Diploma in Foundation Studies (Art & Design) provides an excellent grounding for the varied study that is found in all Art degrees.
BTEC Higher National Diploma holders may apply to enter the final year of university courses in the UK. Click here for a list of UK universities that have accepted HND holders onto the final year of a Bachelors degree programme. Many other UK universities provide exemptions (advanced standing) to BTEC HND holders.
Increasingly, students want to study for their first degree in another English-speaking country, such as the US or Australia. BTEC HND holders can enter onto the third year of Bachelors degrees in both countries. In exceptional circumstances, US universities have given outstanding BTEC HND students entry on to the final year of their degrees.
