Diploma programME AGE: 16-19

With the IB Diploma, universities in 141 countries including Switzerland and Germany can be attended. For information on specific admission requirements in terms of grades and subject combinations, please refer to the IB website.

The IB works closely with universities in all parts of the world to extend this recognition even further. To this end, university admissions offices and members of the educational authorities have direct online access to all curricula and previous examinations.

The ISSH supports students in their choice of university and course of study and helps to prepare all relevant application documents for the universities of choice. We conduct information events or accompany students to events where universities present themselves to potential future students.

An overview of the school fees can be found here.

The prerequisite for admission is the completion of a 10th grade. This can be, for example, the German “Mittlere Reife” or the 10th year in a German Gymnasium or the successful completion of a Swiss 10th class – both as a further education year and as a transfer from a Swiss secondary school.

All students applying for the Diploma Programme need to take an aptitude test before admission, in which we determine the level of their linguistic and mathematical qualifications. Further information on admission and admission requirements can be found here: Junior College Admission Policy.
