Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College (Welbeck DSFC) is an independent, selective sixth form college in Woodhouse, near Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, providing A-Level education for candidates to the technical branches of the British Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defence civil service and privately funded students. It is funded by the Ministry of Defence.
Prior to 2005 the college was known as Welbeck College and was based at Welbeck Abbey near Worksop in Nottinghamshire, where it provided an education for A-Level candidates planning to join the technical branches of the British Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. Candidates for the defence engineering and science group were included in 2005.
Welbeck DSFC provides a two-year programme of education and training leading to A-Level qualifications in preparation for university entry on the Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme followed by entry to the Armed Forces or MOD. Academic work is complemented by leadership development inculcating a military ethos and an understanding of the purpose and structure of the British Armed Forces.
Candidates for DSFC are sponsored by the elements of the British Armed Forces or the MOD Civil Service, entry is predicated on having been selected as a potential officer candidate or technical civil servant. All candidates must be considered likely to succeed in a technical undergraduate course and will be funded through university and accepted into the sponsoring service.
