Please find below for more details on Maths recognition by country:
Universities may have different admissions criteria depending on their course requirements.
Please feel free to contact if you require our support in speaking to a university.īoth new Mathematics courses at HL and SL are fairly accepted by universities in Asia Pacific from countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia. In Jordan, the MoE has approved both SL and HL courses for access to higher education scientific courses.Īll the relevant ERIC NARIC and equivalency centres throughout Africa, Europe and the Middle-East have been informed of the new Mathematics courses. Analysis and approaches HL accepted for access to Science, Technology and Engineering courses. In Spain All Mathematics courses accepted for access to Social Science university pathways. In the UK, prestigious institutions such as Imperial College, London have published acceptance of both courses for the majority of their bachelor’s degrees. Both new mathematics subjects at SL will allow access to universities and tertiary educational institutions for all subjects, except those related to mathematics, technical studies and natural sciences. Germany recognizes both Mathematics HL courses to contribute to a general university admission qualification ( Allgemeine Hochschulzugangsberechtigung) and recognizes both Mathematics SL courses to contribute to a subject specific university admission qualification ( FachgebundeneHochschulzugangsberechtigung).
If you are a counselor, coordinator or IB educator and would like to explore the best fit for your students you’ll want to read our best fit guide or download the flyer.Īnd last but certainly not least, here’s a summary of the overall IB Maths recognition trends in our three regions:įrom a country perspective, Austria, Finland, Ireland, Georgia, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Netherlands and the UK have recognised both courses and will be advising their respective universities to set their admission criteria.If you would like to learn more about how universities are advising prospective IB students about these courses here are two useful resources: a blog with tips from college and university admissions officers and the above mentioned webinar.If you are a university who would like to receive curricula and specimen papers, please sign up here or follow these links for the shorter AA and AI Subject Briefs.If you would like to hear more about the rationale behind these changes please check out this blog post.For a bird’s eye view of the changes to IB Math visit our official page for IB Math curriculum changes, which features our FAQ.This is a little long … but please stick with me until the end because it’s really great stuff! And in the past few weeks, we published the official AA and AI Subject Briefs on our website! By the way, I just learned that is what the cool kids (the IB math teachers) are calling the new courses.Īs the summer days wind down and the reality of back to school sinks in, I thought this would be a great time to compile all available resources in one easily accessible place. For schools, we created a best fit guide and collaborated with International ACAC on a free webinar. For universities, we have provided Subject Guides and short explanations of the new courses. In fact, with schools starting, our Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) educators are doing first teaching of these new courses even as we speak! Plus, our university colleagues are answering questions on the road and working with their institutions on adjusting their admissions and credit policies, gearing up for Fall 2021, when they will welcome the first cohort of Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (AA) and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (AI).Īs part of our work in IB recognition, we have done a lot of outreach to schools and universities and shared a variety of resources with different stakeholders. We have spent a lot of time in the past few months preparing for the new IB Math courses.
