This recognition establishes the Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (IFD) qualification as equivalent to the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) in the Humanities Group in Pakistan. This significant milestone underscores NCC Education’s commitment to providing quality international educational opportunities for students in Pakistan.
The IBCC equivalency for NCC Education’s Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (IFD) qualification follows the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between NCC Education and the IBCC. See here to find out more about this visit.
This partnership solidified during a visit by IBCC representatives to NCC Education’s head office in Manchester, emphasising a strategic collaboration aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s educational framework.
With this equivalency approval, students in Pakistan can confidently pursue the Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (IFD), knowing it aligns with national education standards. Designed as a pre bridging qualification with credit equivalency to three A levels (180 credits), the IFD program provides a solid foundation for higher education, equipping students with essential skills for academic and professional advancement.
Professor Peter Ford, Chair of NCC Education, shared his excitement about this partnership:
“We are thrilled to receive this equivalency approval for our Level 3 International Foundation Diploma programme. This recognition marks an important step forward for students in Pakistan seeking high-quality international education. Our shared commitment to educational excellence will empower students and support the enhancement of academic standards in Pakistan.”
The IBCC’s equivalency decision for the IFD qualification is valid for two years, with the possibility of extension upon fulfilling IBCC requirements. This approval opens new pathways for Pakistani students to achieve internationally recognized qualifications, aligned with local education standards, as they pursue higher education both within Pakistan and abroad.
