Diploma Programme - International Baccalaureate Organisation
New College Telford is a candidate college* for the IB Diploma Programme. We are pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools and colleges that share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that New College Telford 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.
*Only schools/colleges authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) as IB World Schools can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme. Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
