Course summary

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is an internationally recognised qualification, accepted by universities across the world. It has a holistic approach to Sixth Form education, with the student at the very centre. The key attributes developed during the course, which is assessed at the end of the two years, are represented in the IB Learner Profile and feature strongly in the list of qualities expected by top universities and the CBI. The IB is different from A Levels in two other key respects: every student must fulfil the requirements of all three elements of the Core; and all students study six subjects, three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL).
