The Welsh Baccalaureate (Welsh Bacc) was designed in Wales for our learners. It gives broader experiences than traditional learning programmes, to suit the diverse needs of young people. The Welsh Bacc award is based on specified combinations of qualifications to help learners get the most benefit from these experiences and skills.

Creative

We want all learners to benefit from the Welsh Baccalaureate, and achieve the Skills Challenge Certificate. By adding essential personal development and employability skills to academic study or vocational qualifications, the Welsh Baccalaureate helps young people to be better prepared for further/higher education, employment and life.

  • enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work​

  • ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world​

  • healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

The value of the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification…

We enormously value the self-motivation, curiosity and independent-mindedness this approach to learning develops. It is these characteristics, along with three excellent A Levels, that we look for at competitive universities like Oxford.
— Dr Matthew Williams, Access and Career Development Fellow – Jesus College, Oxford
This often ignites enthusiasm and provides great preparation for undertaking independent, original and robust research at undergraduate level. Alongside this, students develop other skills that are essential to university study, including time management, communication and confidence.
— Sally Rutterford, Cardiff University’s Head of Admissions
The skills that are learnt and developed in Welsh Bacc are essential in everyday life and can greatly improve your chances of getting into that university, studying that course or getting that job.
— Sophie Adams, YCC School Leaver 2018
