Diploma Programme
The DP organizes teaching and learning through six subject groups, underpinned by the DP core. Students can take these subjects at standard level (SL) or higher level (HL). Students must at least take 3 HL subjects and 3 SL subjects, or 4 HL subjects and 2 SL subjects plus the DP Core to be eligible for full DP certificate.
Schools can also offer additional subjects to meet the requirements of certain university/college majors. Students can also take subjects without the DP Core for DP course certificates.
