The International Baccalaureate Diploma is recognised as an international pre-university education preparing students for a globally competitive age.Entrance to top universities has become increasingly competitive in recent years as more and more countries can afford to send their youth abroad to be educated. These trends mean that students need to prepare well in advance to achieve a quality place at a higher education institution. In some countries, students start early by learning a foreign language from kindergarten age. Achieving fluency in the language will ensure entrance to a foreign university.
As well as developing their academic ability, students who wish to study should consider developing 'soft skills', such as leadership, organisation and self management, community-mindedness and communication, all of which are core elements of the 'International Baccalaureate' (IB) Diploma qualification, a qualification which has steadily grown in popularity over the past ten years.
IB Diploma
The International Baccalaureate, founded in 1968, is an international education programme which is available to a worldwide community of schools. The IB Organisation offers three programmes for students aged three to 19 years: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma. Each programme places emphasis on developing the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills children need to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalising world.
