Diploma Programme developments
As the Diploma Programme approaches its 40th birthday, there is a strong sense of this programme being more relevant than ever. When it started in 1969 it was designed for a small, internationally mobile community of students, but today, in an increasingly globalized world, it is the curriculum of choice for students from all types of background.
The IB is committed to constantly developing and improving the Diploma Programme both through an ongoing process of curriculum review and by modifying the programme for use in new contexts. These developments are undertaken through carefully managed and researched pilot projects in which participation is limited.
Current Diploma Programme pilot projects include the following.
- Diploma Programme online
- German language support
- The European Platform Partnership
- Transdisciplinary subjects
