A QUALIFICATION that would take you towards a successful future, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is a prestigious, internationally recognised pre-university programme for learners aged 16-19.
Research by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) in 2016 indicated IB learners compare favourably to those from other pre-university programmes and are more likely to attend the top 20 universities worldwide, and also achieve a first-class honours degree.
This stems from the programme’s holistic approach of covering both academic success and personal development. The curriculum encourages learners to think independently and determine their own learning, become culturally aware and engage with people in a globalised world.
