COLLABORATIONS
Since 2008, Doukas School has offered Greece’s first and only comprehensive BTEC Foundation in Art, Design & Media Practice programme. The programme provides thorough preparation across a broad range of creative disciplines, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to pursue studies at art and design institutions abroad.
Our partnerships with the University of the Arts London (UAL) and Istituto Marangoni further enhance this preparation, giving students access to workshops led by faculty from both institutions, guidance on applications and portfolio development, and campus visits. Students admitted to undergraduate programmes at either institution are also entitled to a 20% discount on tuition fees.
Through flexible and creative full-time and part-time programmes, students on our GCE, IB and Greek General Lyceum pathways can also gain the BTEC Level 1 Award in Art & Design and the BTEC Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design (QCF), awarded by the recognised awarding body Pearson.
