Diploma Programme – International Baccalaureate Organisation
New College Telford is now an Approved IB World School and therefore can offer the IB Diploma programme. IB World Schools are schools and colleges that share a common philosophy – a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that New College believes is important for our students.
What is the IB Diploma Programme?
The IB Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and challenging pre-university course that demands the best from both motivated students and teachers. This sophisticated two-year curriculum covers a wide range of academic subjects and has stood the test of time for over half a million students in 119 countries since 1968. IB Diploma Programme graduates are welcomed by the world’s leading universities.
The Benefits of the IB Diploma Programme
Universities recognise the outstanding qualities of IB Diploma Programme students. Typically, Diploma holders are ready to debate real-world issues from an international perspective and to provide leadership and support in the local and global community. They demonstrate a capacity for in-depth study while maintaining a broad perspective of the different subject areas. They are able to ask challenging questions but also know how to research a topic and express their opinion. They have a strong sense of their own culture and identity, as well as the ability to communicate in two or more languages with people who have a different perspective of the world.
