IB Global University Admissions Conference 2025

At the International Baccalaureate (IB), we are committed to guiding our students as they embark on their higher education journeys. To support this mission, we are thrilled to announce the return of the IB Global University Admissions Conference, set to take place virtually from 4 – 6 February 2025.

This year’s event will bring together university career counsellors (UCC’s) from across the globe for three days of insightful breakouts, dynamic keynotes, and engaging panel sessions. The focus will be on the latest trends in university admissions, the unique attributes of IB learners, and essential updates on the IB curriculum.

With hundreds of university career counsellors expected to attend, this conference will provide a valuable platform for professional development, networking, and staying informed on global university admissions.

Who should attend this conference?

The 2025 conference will be focused on our IB university and career counsellors (UCC’s) who wish to learn how they can support their students' transition to higher education.

However, we seek to include universities through the delivery of sessions that support UCC professional development. Universities have a wealth of knowledge about and experience with admissions topics that are integral to UCCs’ work. Developing a session proposal for the conference is a great opportunity to highlight the university knowledge and through it position the university.
