The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is a two-year pre-university education. Successful completion of the course results in an internationally recognised IB Diploma or individual subject Certificates.
The Diploma programme provides a well-balanced course of studies comprising a broad range of subjects and activities. Requirements for entry to universities are met by following some subjects at Higher and others at Standard Level.
The programme outline is uniform throughout IB schools worldwide, and provides a Diploma to meet university admission standards internationally. In Europe and Australia, major universities hold the IB Diploma in high regard. In the United States, achievement within the IB Diploma course is considered a sound basis for awarding advanced placement credit at many of the major universities.
The International Baccalaureate is an educational challenge, which provides scope for both academic achievement and worthwhile practical activities in outdoor pursuits and social service.
It is 'international' not only because it is accepted worldwide but also because it is a cross-cultural programme followed by thousands of young adults who thereby gain knowledge of, and respect for the cultures of the world.
