IB and Universities

How will your IB subject choices affect your university admissions?  It can vary widely, so we've included some resources here to help you think through your decisions!

There is a wide variety of subjects that can be studied at university level, many of which have no specific IBDP prerequisites. However, some subjects and some country systems do have IBDP prerequisites in order to apply.  Because entry requirements can vary and change, the information shared here cannot be taken as definitive. It is essential that students conduct their own research to ensure their IBDP subject choices meet their needs.
