IB World

The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) is a two-year educational programme for students aged 16–18 that provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education, and is recognised by universities worldwide. It was developed in the early to mid-1960s in Geneva by a group of international educators.

IBDP students complete assessments in six subjects from the six different subject groups, and complete three core requirements. Subjects are assessed using both internal and external assessments, and courses finish with an externally assessed series of examinations, usually consisting of two or three timed written examinations.

The six IBDP subject groups and course offerings are summarized below. More information about the subject groups and individual courses can be found at the respective subject group articles.
