The University of Oxford accepts the IBDP. A total score of 38, 39 or 40 points (depending on the course) including core points, with 6s and 7s in subjects taken at the Higher level. Please visit the individual course pages for details.
IB students can choose from:
Analysis and Approaches (SL or HL)
Applications and Interpretation (SL or HL)
All Oxford courses that state that they require Mathematics will accept both courses at HL, apart from Chemistry, which will require applicants to have taken either of the courses at Higher Level, or the Analysis and Approaches course at SL, depending on what other subjects they are taking. Please visit the Chemistry course page for further information. If courses state that they recommend Mathematics, either course will be acceptable. All Oxford courses (except Chemistry) that require Mathematics will accept either 'Analysis and Approaches' or 'Applications and Interpretation' at Higher Level. The exception is the Chemistry course, where applicants may have taken either of these Mathematics courses at Higher Level, or the Analysis and Approaches course at Standard Level, depending on what other subjects they are taking.
Exemptions from English Language requirement will be considered for those who are studying (or have completed) the International Baccalaureate programme, if it is taught in English. International Baccalaureate (for those not being taught in English): English B with a score of 7 at HL. Please check the website for further information.
