The IB - What's being said
| "Durham
University recognises the International Baccalaureate (IB). Our
academic departments have noted the excellent preparation that the
Diploma provides for university study, and we value the depth and
breadth of study that it offers." Durham University |
 |
| "Newcastle
University welcomes applications from candidates who have studied
the International Baccalaureate. We believe that IB candidates are
well-prepared for university study. Not only have they studied a
good range of subjects, but they have studied some in depth and
have developed independent learning skills which are helpful skills
at degree level." Newcastle University |
 |
| "Each
year the University of Manchester receives many outstanding applications
from IB students across the UK and beyond. These go on to be successful
students at the University. Our institutional knowledge of the IB
has been, and remains, excellent. We recognise the many strengths
of this qualification: for example its breadth, commitment to global
awareness, and research skills." Manchester University |
 |
| "We
have always recognised the strength of the IB qualification. As
many of our degree programmes are offered as dual honours, there
is a particular link between the breadth of education offered by
the IB and the opportunities at Keele." Keele University |
 |
| "Universities
have always held the IB in high regard and recognise the academic
rigour, breadth and depth
of this qualification. Indeed, the skills obtained by students undertaking
the International Baccalaureate are widely considered excellent
preparation for the transition into higher education; and this view
is certainly endorsed here at Leeds." Leeds University |
