The BTEC International Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering & IT is a practical-based qualification that helps students gain real-world knowledge in both Engineering and Information Technology. It is designed for students aged 16 and above who want to study in a more hands-on way rather than only reading textbooks or preparing for long exams.
This diploma is equivalent to three A Levels. This means after finishing it, students can apply to many top universities in the UK, Thailand, Australia, and around the world. It is recognised by universities everywhere.
The programme combines core subjects in Engineering like Mechanical and Electrical Principles with IT subjects like Programming, Systems, and Digital Technology. Students learn by doing projects, working with others, and building skills that are useful in university.
This qualification has one main goal: to prepare students for the future. Whether they want to study Engineering or Computer Science, this diploma gives them the strong foundation they need.
The purpose is to help students:
At Westminster College Bangkok, the course also helps improve English skills and gives students global opportunities. The curriculum is updated regularly to match modern industry needs. So, when students graduate, they are not just ready for university — they are ready for the real world.
