What is the IB Diploma Programme?
“The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.”
- IB mission statement
The IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) was established in 1968 and has earned a reputation as a broad, balanced, and rigorous curriculum for pre-university education. It is recognised and respected by the world’s leading universities. IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) is a challenging two-year pre-university curriculum, primarily aimed at students aged 16-19 (Year 12-13). It has been designed to address the intellectual, social, emotional and physical well-being of students.
The programme provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education and is recognized by world’s leading universities worldwide. It is a highly diverse programme designed to meet the requirements of different students.
The IBDP curriculum is suited to students who wish to maintain a broad base of subject specialisms. Students study 6 academic disciplines, three at Higher level (HL) and three at Standard level (SL). These must include two languages, mathematics, a science and an individuals and societies subject. The sixth subject can be an arts subject or a second subject from IB groups 2, 3 or 4.
In addition to the six subjects, students also complete three core parts of the IB Diploma which are central to the philosophy of the programme. These are:
Theory of Knowledge (TOK), in which students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know.
Extended Essay (EE), which is an independent, self-directed piece of research, typically written in one of the student’s six subject groups and no more than 4,000 words in length.
Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), includes taking responsibility, developing social, creative and outdoor skills, as well as learning to approach others with empathy. Students engage in a variety of projects that aim to help them develop these skills, while at the same time actively engaging with their local community.
The IBDP is assessed externally by IB examiners and moderators, and in most subjects there are summative examinations in May of the second DP year which cover the material learned throughout the 2 year programme. Each subject is graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Assessment of the core courses can earn an extra 3 bonus points and so the maximum score possible is 45 points.
The IB recognition resource and document library has testimonials from universities working with DP students, and IBs research pages look in detail at the performance of DP students, including comparisons with other students.
