IB
What is the IB?
The IB Diploma Programme (IB-DP) is a 2-year internationally minded and recognised programme, which opens doors to leading universities around the world, and prepares students for their future career. In Denmark, a one-year preparatory IB programme OR 11 years of schooling is a prerequisite for entering the Diploma Programme. Currently on offer in 139 countries around the globe, IB students thus become part of a greater community, united by the same mission statement and learner profile.
”I chose the Pre-IB/IB programme because it opens up many opportunities for me, both in Denmark and abroad, and because I get to meet people from many different cultures and backgrounds.”

Extra subject from group 1-4
”I chose the IB diploma programme because I want to study abroad and this programme opens up a lot of doors. I also love meeting people from different countries and cultures.”
Who are the students fitting the IB Learner Profile?
Those who choose to undertake the IB Diploma Programme (or the pre-IB with the intention of continuing onto the two-year IB programme) are typically young people who have high expectations of themselves. They want a demanding, yet rewarding, education that will challenge them and help them take the next step in life whether going to university in Denmark or abroad, working or living abroad. The IB allows for greater geographical and cultural mobility.
