Over 70 courses taken by more than 32,000 students are set to be cut by the government in effort to make way for the fourth wave of T Levels.
Popular creative media practice and animal management BTECs will be among those to have their funding withdrawn from August 1, 2025, the Department for Education announced today.
Officials outlined a provisional list of 71 qualifications to be defunded after they were deemed to overlap with wave four T Levels, which are being rolled out in or before August 2024 in five subjects: agriculture and land management; animal care; craft and design; legal; and media, broadcast and production.
The at-risk courses with the most enrolments are Pearson’s BTEC level 3 national extended diploma in creative media practice and Pearson’s BTEC Level 3 national 540 diploma in creative media practice.
