It is an academically challenging programme of education with final examinations
that prepares students for success at university and life beyond. The rigorous
programme is especially designed for highly motivated students in the last two years of their secondary education. An IB Diploma is accepted at universities world-wide and is equivalent to the German certification 'Hochschulzugangsqualifikation' .
Admission qualifications for German universities are regulated by standards set by
the Standing Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs. The IB examinations at the end of Year 12 are set and evaluated externally by the IB Board of Examinations.
