The IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous two-year course which is bold, broad and balanced. It was developed out of best practice from a variety of international pre-university programmes, combining academic depth with subject breadth. The overall objective is to produce 'active learners, well-rounded individuals and engaged world citizens' (see IBO website www.ibo.org).
Students must study 6 subjects, 3 at Higher Level and 3 at Standard Level, chosen from six different groups (see the hexagon format overleaf). In addition they must follow a course of Theory of Knowledge, write an Extended Essay and take part in a programme of creativity, action and service. A maximum of 7 points is awarded for each subject, with an additional three points being available for performance in Theory of Knowledge and on the Extended Essay. The maximum Diploma score is thus 45 points, achieved by only a very small proportion of students.
High-ranking British and American universities and many others around the world, recognize the value of the IB Diploma as a valuable preparation for higher education and regularly make offers of 30 - 38 points for entry to the most popular courses.
