International Education and the IB

Once an IB student… an IB student forever
There are 4 main things why the IB was worth doing; CAS, the fact that I could combine my own subjects and I also had a free hand regarding my topics, and that had the opportunity to study in English.
-Blanka Böcskei ’09Student in Vienna Actually now that I start thinking
about it, one of the many advantages is that the written works I produced back in those days and the skills I developed came in hand now that I’m a University student.
-Petra Nagy ‘09Student in Budapest

I have a lot of great memories from the time I was an IB student… It prepared me for life, and even though it was very hard I looked at it as an exciting challenge.
- Shijia Zhang ‘09 Student in Canada
The IB was a unique experience it tought me a lot, it helped me obtain my internship , and to go to Australia.If I could do it all again I would definitely put much more effort into it and work more, because it really is worth it.
-Zsóka Montvai ‘07Student in Budapest
Following completing the IB Diploma at SEK Budapest International School with 41 points, I applied to universities in the
United Kingdom. I am now in my 2nd Year studying for a BSc in Politics with
Economics at the University of Bath, which is one of the top higher education
institutions in the UK. Having the IB Diploma has definitely enabled me to do well in my degree and provided me with
excellent foundations on which to build on.- Julia Lipowiecka ‘09
