International Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate Diploma is internationally recognised by the world's leading universities. This makes it popular for international students who want to continue on to tertiary education in Queensland. Students who are currently studying the IB Diploma in their home country can also choose to study the IB Diploma in Queensland for 1 semester or 1 academic year.
The International Baccalaureate is administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
in 128 countries across the world. In Queensland, students can study the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma at the same time as studying Years 11 and 12, which means they can graduate from year 12 with two qualifications:
- Queensland Certificate of Education (awarded by the QSA)
- International Baccalaureate Diploma (awarded by the IBO)
