The 2011 IB Diploma Programme Graduate Destinations Survey
IB World Schools in Australia, Canada, India, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the USA
The IB has commissioned I-graduate, a UK-based research consultancy, to conduct a study of the Diploma Programme students completing their exams this year and is available to your school at no extra cost. This study, the IB Diploma Programme Graduate Destinations Survey, aims to capture data on the trends in university application and admissions for DP graduates completing their exams in 2011 and entering university.
With your participation, we will be able to provide valuable insights into the plans of DP graduates after they complete the Diploma Programme. The results from the survey will provide schools with a profile of DP graduates globally, their relevant scores on entrance exams or other assessments, any special awards or distinctions, fields of study, scholarships, and their acceptance rates into university.
IB schools participating in the survey will receive a report with the profile of the DP graduates at their school, benchmarked against global and country data.
Participating in this study involves three easy steps:
1) Register today to find out more information at http://www.i-graduate.org/ibdp. Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation, a user guide and more information about the survey. All IB schools must register by 30 April 2011 to participate. For more information on how to register, please reference this flyer.
2) Collect the email addresses of your students so that they may receive a copy of the survey to complete online.*
3) Encourage all of your students to complete the survey! Download the flyer to display in your school
We hope that you will register today to participate in this important study. Please feel free to contact us at recognition@ibo.org, if you have any questions or concerns about this survey, or if you would like to provide any specific feedback or advice.
The IB looks forward to working with you to improving recognition of the Diploma Programme and expanding opportunities for DP graduates in university around the world.
*It is also possible to make arrangements for students to complete the survey at the same time while they are still in school. Contact us if you would like to make special arrangements or accommodations.
