Does an IB Diploma allow students to go abroad for university?
Yes. One of the founding ideals of the Diploma Program was to establish an internationally recognized system of curriculum and assessment that would be accepted by universities and ministries of education around the world. Today, the diploma is accepted by over 1,000 universities in over 100 countries around the world, including some of the best universities in North America, the UK, continental Europe, and Australia where the majority of diploma graduates enter higher education. Admissions requirements and timelines often differ significantly for universities outside the U.S. Students planning to apply abroad should seek information early.
