The IB Diploma and German University Entrance Requirements

In March 2000 the IB Diploma was formally recognised as a suitable alternative to the Abitur Certificate. It is consequently an appropriate qualification for German university entrance.

For full details regarding the IB Diploma and German Requirements, please refer to the IB public website - selecting Germany (or, other countries if you are interested in their recognition of the IB Diploma).

Please visit the Kultusministerkonferenze (KMK) (Federal Conference of the State Ministers of Education) for the original text in German.
