Student guides for applying to university abroad

Many universities around the world accept applications from students who have studied the IB Diploma Programme. The systems for processing applications vary from country to country, and sending in applications requires an informed awareness of what is required. To help students and parents understand application requirements, IB provides guides on applying to universities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

These guides cover a brief introduction to the higher education system and its application process, as well as providing information specifically relevant to IB students applying to these institutions from outside of the UK. The information includes entry requirements normally required of IB Diploma students, the timeline for sending an application, and facts on who sends the transcripts and their country of origin. Further helpful information is provided on the 10 institutions receiving the most transcripts from international IB students.
