The DP is a strong pathway to university—the impact of studying the DP on admission to
university and higher education depends on each student’s performance.
The IB's Diploma Programme (DP) is recognized and respected by the world’s leading
universities, and evidence suggests that higher rates of DP students go on to university and
higher education study than non-IB students.
DP students apply to more than 5,000 higher education institutions each year in more than
100 countries.
