Future-Focused: SISD Expands IB Career-related Programme

Future-Focused: SISD Expands IB Career-related Programme - Future-Focused SISD Expands IB Career-related Programme
At Swiss International Scientific School Dubai (SISD), we're redefining what success in education looks like. Following the exceptional results of the Class of 2025, we’re expanding our IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) - a future-ready pathway that blends academic excellence with real-world experience.

The IBCP offers students a dynamic alternative to the IBDP or A-Levels. Through BTEC Level 3 Extended Diplomas in Business, Hospitality, and the newly launched Sport, Business and Management, students gain practical knowledge while studying three IB subjects and a core of personal and professional development.

This year, our IBCP students achieved 100% Distinction in their BTEC qualifications - the highest grade possible - and received offers from top global universities like EHL, Queen Mary University of London, HULT, and more.

What sets SISD apart is our strong industry partnerships, including placements at iconic locations such as the Burj Al Arab and collaboration with Abu Dhabi Hospitality Academy – Les Roches. These experiences give students a unique advantage before they even step into university.

A Grade 12 SISD graduate says: “The IBCP gave me the chance to study what I love and apply it in real life. I’m heading to one of the best hospitality universities in the world - and I feel ready.”

Applications are now open for August 2025, with limited places available in the new Sport, Business and Management pathway.
