International Baccalaureate (IB)

UWC Mostar has been an IB World School since we opened in 2006.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. The IB Diploma programme is administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Offered by more than 4000 schools in nearly 150 countries, it is recognized for admission to universities in over 80 countries.

The IB Diploma

The IB Diploma Programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education that prepares students, normally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years and has gained recognition and respect from the world’s leading universities. More about IB educational model you can find here!

Students study six subjects, three at a higher level (HL) and three at a standard level (SL). Students must choose one subject from each of the six IB subject groups, thus ensuring breadth of experience in languages, social studies, the experimental sciences and mathematics. The exceptions are: instead of group 6, the student may choose another subject from group 1-4 (a second foreign language, a second “humanities” option, or a second natural science). Instead of group 2 language, the student may choose an additional group 1 subject.
