WHAT’S THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAMME (IBDP)?

The IBDP is a globally respected two-year university preparation course offered in the final years of secondary school (ages 16 to 18 at our IB school in Dublin). This demanding but rewarding programme enables students to grow as world citizens while building the knowledge, confidence and independence to thrive at university and beyond.

The IBDP blends stimulating academics with enriching creative experiences and multicultural exposure. As an international qualification recognised by top universities worldwide, the IB diploma is particularly useful for students who plan to study abroad in the future. To facilitate applications for students wishing to attend university in the UK, Nord Anglia International School Dublin is registered with UCAS.

THE IBDP: A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION WITH PERSONALISED PATHWAYS

One of the benefits of the IBDP is that it offers a well-rounded education with opportunities to specialise in specific subject areas. All our IB students study six subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and the Arts. Each student chooses three subject groups to pursue at higher level and three at standard level.


In addition, students further develop their creativity, critical thinking and research skills by completing the required IBDP core programme:


  • Theory of Knowledge (TOK): a course on critical thinking, exploring how we learn and build knowledge.

  • The Extended Essay: an in-depth independent research project focusing on one specific subject.

  • Creativity, Activity and Service: a range of activities through which students strengthen their creative skills, their health and wellbeing, and their commitment to the communities in which they live.
