The World-class Duke of Edinburgh International Award

DofE was founded by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh KG, KT in 1956, in conjunction with Kurt Hahn, the German educationalist. 

As the global framework for holistic education and learning, DofE is a leading youth achievement award with a complete set of guidance and principles. The Award is now operating in more than 130 countries and territories around the world and gains global recognition.

DofE challenges young people to discover their potential, find their purpose, and make their contributions, with an aim to building an empowered, progressive, diverse and connected future!

Experience of Self-development and Support for University Applications

For our students, taking on the challenge of DofE is a valuable experience that enhances skills, strengthens perseverance, and fosters personal growth. It also provides a significant advantage for future university applications, especially for those planning to study in the UK.

UCAS encourages applicants to include DofE in their applications, and the value of the Award is clearly stated on the UCAS personal statement guidance page as an added qualification

We look forward to seeing BBSG students shine on the DofE stage and achieve their dreams. If you would like to learn more about the application criteria, world-class learning resources, or global opportunities available at BBSG, please feel free to contact the school hotline.
