A shared learning experience

UWC attracts students from very different educational systems and backgrounds to study together in a range of programmes including full primary and secondary education, the two-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) offered across all 18 UWC schools and colleges, and the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP). Specific academic offerings vary from one UWC school to another.

Many students in the IBDP/IBCP years arrive from conflict-affected or under-resourced contexts. For some, the IBDP/IBCP years are their first experience of living outside their home country or studying in the English language
