IB DP is a two-year programme for 16-19 year old students (i.e. 3rd and 4th year of secondary school). Compared to the Czech Baccalaureate, it offers:
a choice of 6 subjects from different areas (languages, mathematics, natural sciences, humanities),

• compulsory core (CORE): Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, CAS,

• Teaching in English,

• strong emphasis on skills, not just knowledge,

• formative assessment and international exams.

The IB Diploma is recognised by hundreds of universities around the world. Most of them offer specific admission requirements to IB students. In the Czech Republic, the IB Diploma is recognised as the equivalent of a high school diploma (often with nostrification). Here you will find list of universities from all over the world that are registered with the IBO and recognise the IB DP:

You can also filter for specific countries. If you don't find a university here that you are interested in studying at, it doesn't mean that it doesn't accept IB DP education, it just isn't registered with the IBO. It is best to contact the university directly and find out the details, it is possible that they accept the IB DP as proof of secondary education anyway.

The IB DP emphasises:

• Analytical and critical thinking (Theory of Knowledge and other subjects),

• Research skills (Extended Essay),

• Personal Development and Social Responsibility (CAS),

• Communication, collaboration, digital literacy and global citizenship.

• Students value the international environment, project work and independence,

• They often mention the challenge, but also the meaningfulness and practical application of what they have learned,

• For them, the IB Diploma is a "passport to the world".
