Introduction of IB Course Candidates

Category “course” applies to candidates enrolled in individual courses and not entering the full IB diploma programme.  Furthermore, students who choose not to complete IB diploma requirements can be registered as Course Candidates and receive credit for already completed work in single courses.

In general, course candidates can be registered and assessed for core elements such as Extended Essay (EE) and/or Theory of Knowledge (TOK).  Course candidates can also pursue Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) requirements of the diploma programme and have this requirement shown on their course results if the CAS programme is completed.

Course candidates must complete their courses; deregistration will be noted on the student’s report card.

 

At the German School London, course candidates may choose

  • two or more courses
  • one, two or all three of the core elements
