Universities
IB Diploma Programme graduates are welcome at universities around the world. The IB recognizes the need for clear, current and concise information about the Diploma Programme. We have therefore prepared a guide to the IB Diploma Programme for universities and colleges. This has been written for university admissions staff and faculty so that they may learn about the programme and know what to expect from an IB World School and an IB Diploma Programme graduate.

We also provide a password-protected online site for university officials and admissions officers, where the following information can be found:
- the course syllabus for each subject, which includes assessment information
- recent examination questions
- markschemes
- student results (transcripts).
Please use the guide, the secure site and support from the regional offices to create and update your own publicly listed policy regarding university recognition.
