Welcome to the sixth form admissions area of the secondary school. This encompasses Years 12 and 13 and we offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme of study, International AS and A Levels, BTEC.

As Head of Sixth Form, my job is to ensure your academic and personal wellbeing needs are being met. At KS5 we offer several academic pathways which you can choose to study; IB, International AS levels or a combination of IGCSEs and AS levels. Whatever pathway you choose, you will experience outstanding teaching from our dedicated subject specialists, as well as personalised pastoral support from your form tutor and the sixth form team. As well as this, we also support you in your university application process; assisting you in achieving your goals in any country across the world
We offer IB at two levels: diploma and course.
In addition to the IB Diploma, we also offer a number of International AS Level courses.
IB and Diploma Course
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is an internationally respected and recognised qualification. Success in the IB will ensure access to good universities throughout the world.
What is special about the IB?
The IB Diploma makes sure that students do not specialise before they go to university. This means that students study six subjects, three at standard level and three at higher level. Students must choose a range of subjects to encourage breadth as well as depth across the curriculum.
Subjects available: English Language and Literature, Maths - Analysis and Approaches, Maths - Applications and Interpretations, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental and Social Sciences, Arabic, French A & B, Spanish A & B, Geography, History, Business Management, Information and Global Systems, Economics, Design technology, and Visual Art.
International AS and A Levels
Doha British School offers subjects that are aimed at providing a breadth of study to learners.
Subjects available: English Language, English Literature, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography, Psychology, Business Studies, ICT, Arabic, PE and Music
The subjects are recognised by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education as fulfilling their attestation and equivalency requirements for a student’s 12th year of education. A student would need passes in any 2 AS or A subjects.
BTEC
BTEC is a vocational qualification. Today’s employers are looking for confident, work-ready employees who have practical knowledge and technical skills that are taught when studying a BTEC. With BTEC, students can take the subject Level 3 Business.
All Sixth Form students are offered university and career guidance during their course. They receive information on how to apply to a variety of international universities, and will have the opportunity to meet university representatives both in school and at different fairs around Doha.
Many universities require AS students to complete a foundation year of study before beginning an undergraduate degree, and since admission deadlines fall between January and March, a lot of time is spent in Term 1 preparing students for the application process.
