Free education in Germany for IB Diploma holders
When you apply for higher education to Germany, it is essential to produce the IB diploma to the authorities. The students also need to attach a corresponding certificate that lists all the subjects and the grades attained in those. The certificate must be issued by the IB organization, as no other IB diploma is acceptable at the German universities. Any IB diploma issued by schools will not be considered as recognized. Also, the IBDP students can pursue their bachelors in Germany, without having to do a studienkolleg. The students can also pursue their bachelor’s studies with English as the language medium.
If you haven’t received your diploma by the time of application, you can present an official transcript of your grades issued by the IB organization. Students are advised to acquire their transcripts well in advance, as there is little time between the issue of transcripts and the application deadlines of the winter semester at German universities. Also, in order to meet all university requirements, you must submit all your semester reports/ term reports. The reports must clearly show the scale of all 6 subjects during the two-year program.
