IB Diploma Programme: A strong predictor of success in university
By 2014, more than 1 million International Baccalaureate (IB) students will have participated in the IB Diploma Programme, and more than 120,000 Diploma Programme students will be entering university each year.
IB students represent a broad range of nationalities from nearly 140 countries and reflect diverse experiences and perspectives, which they apply to their learning in the Diploma Programme. These experiences, in combination with the emphasis on international-mindedness and academic rigour of the Diploma Programme, provide students with a unique set of skills, attitudes and perspectives for success in university and life in the 21st century.
Recent studies on IB Diploma Programme graduates in university confirm that they perform well and have significantly higher grade point averages and higher graduation rates than students who did not complete the IB Diploma Programme. Scores on IB assessments are also a significant predictor of performance in university.
