Globally recognised degree

Recognition of the Diploma Programme

The IB Diploma is widely recognised by the world’s leading universities. In most countries, students with an IB diploma are accepted on the basis of their IB results without any additional entry requirements.

The IB Diploma grants students access to universities in 141 countries, including Switzerland and Germany. For information on the specific requirements, in terms of subject choices and grade results for specific countries, please see the  IB website.

The IB works closely with universities in all regions of the world to gain even wider recognition for the IB Diploma. To aid this process, university admission officers and government officials have direct online access to all syllabuses and recent examinations.

The International School of Schaffhausen assists students to obtain information on universities of their choice and collects all required application documents to the selected universities. ISSH hosts university presentations and keeps students informed of any university fairs in the area.

“The International Baccalaureate Organization (IB) provides rigorous academic programmes and assessments and an unwavering commitment to prepare students to be citizens in an international community. IB is to be commended for its visionary approach to promoting a more peaceful world by engaging students, staff and community in a greater awareness of, and appreciation for, differences between and among the peoples of the world.”
Dr. Gerald TirozziLeitender Direktor, National Association of Secondary School Principals
“Students seeking the finest [high school] preparation available for an American college should consider the International Baccalaureate. The IB offers an integrated curriculum that provides students with the skill needed to be world-class scholars and an educational philosophy that prepares them to be first-class citizens. I do not know of a more comprehensive and appropriate learning model.”
Jim CrowderLeiter Zulassungsstelle, Macalester College

Christoph GuttentagLeiter Zulassungsstelle für Undergraduates, Duke University
“I have always been a supporter of the International Baccalaureate. It is a thoughtful and genuinely intellectual curriculum with an unusually high degree of integrity and connectedness. There is no other curriculum anywhere that does a superior job of both educating students and inspiring a true and broad-based love of learning.”
