The IB is particularly suited to students wanting to pursue tertiary studies and qualifications, wherever they wish to study. The quality of IB graduates is recognised worldwide.

In Australia, all major universities, including the University of Tasmania, accept the IB Diploma as a University Entrance qualification. They specify IB prerequisites for particular courses and use a standard conversion table to compare IB scores to scores obtained within the various states' pre-tertiary examination systems, including Tasmania's TE score. Other tertiary institutions welcome applications from IB students.

Details of IB recognition at each of Australia's tertiary institutions can be found on the AAIBS site.

Internationally, there is ready access to university study at all of the major institutions in the United Kingdom, Europe, North and South America, Africa and within the Asia Pacific region. These universities already have formal agreements with the IB, and understand the meaning of a particular score on the IB Diploma.
