CREDIT FOR IB SUBJECTS

UQ WELCOMES IB STUDENTS

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma graduate, you are incredibly well prepared for success at UQ. The program’s

international flavour, academic rigour and emphasis on enquiry-based learning means you will enter university with a

global outlook, excellent work ethic and critical thinking skills. UQ recognises this, and offers many opportunities for students to

accelerate their studies.

UTAS WELCOMES IB STUDENTS

The relatively late release of IB results in January each year won’t disadvantage you. UTAS can obtain your results directly from the IB Information System. For more information

https://www.utas.edu.au/study/apply/admission-requirements/international-baccalaureate

UNIVERSITY ENTRY FOR IB STUDENTS

Students can find the university’s full recognition statement on the  IB recognition policy index. Information on scholarships, IB entrance requirements, etc. can be found in each university’s recognition policy. Students are strongly advise to check with their university of interest directly as universities will update their offers or entrance requirements regularly. For more information visit this link
