Towards University

Competition for university places has never been higher. Imperial college London says that International Baccalaureate students adapt more easily to a university style of learning and become independent learners from an earlier stage.

• IB Diploma students are twice as likely to enrol in one of the UK’s top 20 universities.
• Are twice as likely to succeed in applications for medicine and dentistry.
• Are 30% more likely to gain first class honours degrees.

The key qualities recognised and valued by universities are significantly more prevalent in Diploma Programme students.
