We welcome students from over 50 different nationalities, and each application is carefully assessed on an individual basis. Admission decisions are based on the applicant’s previous academic results, an English and Maths placement test, and an interview in which we discuss subject choices, motivation, and aspirations.
As a guide, students are normally expected to have an English level equivalent to B2 Mid on the CEFR framework. This is not a minimum requirement, but an indicator of the level of English needed to succeed in the IB Diploma Programme.
Watch our students share what to expect in your interview.
