IB - International Baccalaureate
Læs på dansk
Kolding Gymnasium offers The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, IB
for short.
IB is an international
pre-university education programme, which enjoys widespread international
recognition and respect and can give access to the major universities of the
world. In Denmark, IB is recognised as being equivalent to the Danish Upper
Secondary School Diploma (studentereksamen).
Teaching is in English
There are more than
1595 schools in over 128 participating countries encompassing around 200,000
students. Each of these schools has to be officially approved by the
International Baccalaureate Organisation. The teaching curriculum and subject
syllabi are laid down internationally and there is close co-operation between IB
schools.
So Kolding Gymnasium
is part of a widespread international network.
In Denmark , IB is
offered as a three-year course. The first year is called “Pre-IB” or “Pre-DP”
and in the autumn term corresponds with the foundation programme for the
ordinary gymnasium, whereas the spring term consists of a subject programme that
is designed to prepare students for beginning the IB Diploma proper. All
teaching is conducted in English.
Following the “Pre-IB”
year comes the main “IB Diploma Programme”, which is a two-year course. It is
also still possible to transfer to the ordinary gymnasium at the end of the
foundation programme in ”Pre-IB”.
Students who have
completed 10 or 11 years of basic education in another country may be admitted
directly to the IB Diploma Programme.
The
Pre-IB course programme (1st year):
(The school will need to give consideration to the final shape of
Pre-IB in the next school year, as the Ministry of Education is currently
working on certain aspects related to the Pre-IB course).
The foundation
programme consists of the following subjects:
Physics, Mathematics,
English, Danish*, German, History, Social Science, Music/Art, PE, Chemistry,
Biology.
* For students with Danish as their first language or with Danish
at the necessary level for admission to the first year of the Danish Gymnasium.
The IB Diploma
Programme (the next two years):
In
the IB Diploma programme students choose their subjects from each of 6 subject
groups. A subject may be taken at standard level (recommended minimum 150
hours), or higher level (recommended minimum 240 hours). One subject must be
chosen from each subject group. At least three, and no more than four, must be
taken at higher level. Kolding Gymnasium expects to offer the subjects shown
below:
An important feature
of the IB programme is Theory of Knowledge, or TOK for short. This is an
inter-disciplinary course which encourages students to reflect critically on the
systems of knowledge used in their various subjects.
Another special
element in the IB programme is what is known as Creativity, Action, Service, or
CAS for short. This involves students participating in creative activities,
sport, community service projects and clubs or associations during the IB course,
within or outside of school.
Examinations
The examinations are
administered internationally. This means that, in most cases, examination tasks
are set centrally by the international IB Organisation. The majority of
examinations are written.
An
opportunity for both Danish students and students from abroad
IB is obviously not only a wonderful opportunity for young students from abroad
whose families are based in Denmark in the short or long term, but also for
Danes with an international background. Furthermore, if the parents of a student
move abroad during the IB course, he or she will be able to continue studying in
an IB school in the new country. Many IB schools outside of Scandinavia are
private, where you must pay a tuition fee. You can find a directory of all IB
schools on IBO’s website: www.ibo.org
IB is also an exciting
opportunity for other young Danes who have the will to embark upon a demanding
education programme with an international dimension, a programme that has been
purposebuilt to meet the challenges of today’s global society.
In August 2009 we will
be offering both the 2-year IB Diploma Programme and Pre-IB. Applications must
be received no later than 15th March 2009.
Application forms can be obtained by contacting:
Kolding Gymnasium. They are also available for printout on the school website.
Information Meetings
The following
information meetings will be held at Kolding Gymnasium:
Tuesday 26th January
2010 at 7.00 pm (together with information on Gymnasium and HF courses)
and Saturday 30th January 2010 at 1 pm (together with information on Gymnasium

Admission Requirments
Students may apply for
admission to Pre-IB if they fulfil the requirements for admission to the first
year of the Danish gymnasium (1.g), or if they have equivalent qualifications.
Applicants will normally be required to attend an interview at the school.
Students can apply for admission to the IB Diploma if they have either completed
Pre-IB, the first year of the Danish gymnasium, or 10-11 years of basic
education in another country.

International Studentereksamen på KG
På Kolding Gymnasium
tilbyder vi The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, forkortet IB.
IIB er en international
studentereksamen, der nyder stor international anerkendelse og giver adgang til
de store universiteter i udlandet
og i Danmark. I
Danmark anerkendes den på linje med en almindelig dansk studentereksamen.
Undervisningen
foregår på engelsk
På verdensplan er der
over 1595 skoler fordelt på 121 lande med et samlet elevtal på ca. 200.000. Hver
enkel skole skal godkendes af den internationale IB-organisation. Uddannelsens
opbygning og faglige krav er internationalt fastlagt, og der er et tæt
samarbejde mellem de forskellige IB-skoler. Kolding Gymnasium indgår derfor i et
omfattende internationalt netværk. IB består i Danmark normalt af et 3-årigt
forløb. Det første år kaldes ”Pre-IB” eller ”Pre-DP” og består af et
efterårssemester, der svarer til grundforløbet i gymnasieskolen og et
forårssemester, med en fagrække, der er en forberedelse til det egentlige
Diploma Programme (IB) Al undervisningen foregår som nævnt på engelsk. Efter
Pre-IB følger det såkaldte “IB Diploma Programme”, som er 2-årigt.
Det er dog muligt at
skifte over i en dansk gymnasieklasse efter grundforløbet på Pre-IB.
Optagelse på IB
forudsætter gennemført 1. g eller tilsvarende baggrund. Elever med 10. eller 11.
klasse fra en udenlandsk skole kan optages direkte på det 2-årige IB Diploma
Programme.
Indholdet i Pre-IB (1. år):
(Skolen
må tage forbehold for den endelige udformning af Pre-IB for det kommende
skoleår, da Undervisningsministeriet for øjeblikket arbejder med enkelte forhold
i forbindelse med Pre-IB uddannelsen.)
Fagrækken består af
følgende fag:
Fysik, matematik,
engelsk, dansk*, tysk, historie, samfundsfag, musik/billedkunst, idræt, kemi,
biologi.
*
Dansk for elever med dansk som modersmål eller med danskkundskaber, der
kvalificerer til optagelse i en dansk 1. g.
Indholdet i IB Diploma Programme (de følgende 2 år):
I det egentlige IB
program vælger eleverne selv deres fag fra 6 faggrupper. Man kan vælge fag på
“standard level”, svarende til 150 undervisningstimer, eller på “higher level”,
svarende til 240 undervisningstimer.
Fagrækken
Der skal vælges ét fag
fra hver faggruppe. Mindst tre og højst fire vælges på “higher level”*.
Følgende fag forventes tilbudt på Kolding Gymnasium.
I IB programmet
indgår, som et særligt element, “Theory of Knowledge”, forkortet TOK.
Det er et tværfagligt undervisningsprogram, som belyser grundlaget for den
viden, eleverne tilegner sig i de forskellige fag.
Et andet særkende for
IB-programmet er det element, der kaldes Creativity, Action, Service,
forkortet CAS. Det indebærer, at eleverne i løbet af IB skal deltage i
kreative aktiviteter, sport, sociale aktiviteter eller foreningsaktiviteter i
eller uden for skolen.
Eksamen
Eksamen er
international. Det vil sige, at eksamens-opgaverne i de fleste tilfælde stilles
af den internationale IB-administration. De fleste eksaminer er skriftlige.
Et tilbud til
danskere og udlændinge
IB er et glimrende
tilbud til unge udlændinge, hvis familier opholder sig i Danmark i en kortere
eller længere årrække, og til unge danskere med en international baggrund.
Flytter ens forældre til udlandet under IB-forløbet, vil man kunne fortsætte sin
ungdomsuddannelse på en IB-skole i det land, man rejser til; forudsat at der er
en IB-skole i nærheden og at skolen vil optage eleven. Man skal her være
opmærksom på, at mange IB-skoler i udlandet er private og derfor kræver betaling
for undervisningen. Man kan orientere sig om IB-skoler over hele verden via
IBO’s Webside:
www.ibo.org
IB er også et
spændende tilbud til andre unge danskere, der har mod på at begynde en krævende
ungdomsuddannelse af internationalt tilsnit, en uddannelse, der netop er blevet
skabt som et svar på nutidens globaliseringstendenser.
