International Baccalaureate Diploma

Full Job Description

You are offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma awarded by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).

All Singapore Citizen and Permanent Resident applicants as well as foreign students from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), School of The Arts Singapore (SOTA), St Joseph’s Institution and Singapore Sports School (SSP) must be at least 18 years of age as of 1st January of the year of matriculation or have completed a minimum of 12 years of formal education beginning with Primary 1 or equivalent. If you do not meet the requirements, you will need to provide your schooling history from Primary 1 in the form enclosed and upload it to your application for assessment of your eligibility for admission after you have applied for admission.

Students taking the May 2027 IB examinations may submit their applications during the application period for all programmes, except for Medicine, Renaissance Engineering, Arts (Academic Discipline & Education), and Science (Academic Discipline & Education). Actual IB results must be submitted within three days of the results release in July 2027.

Important: Mandatory granting access of official transcript via International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) to receive outcome of application:

Students applying for admissions to NTU Singapore are REQUIRED to grant NTU direct access to their official transcripts via IBO, latest by the NTU application closing date (for students taking the October/November 2026 exam session or earlier) or before July 2027 (for students taking the May 2027 exam session). Failing which, the application will be deemed incomplete and not processed further.

Students who are still enrolled in school are strongly advised to submit their transcript requests through their schools' IB Coordinators before the release of their IB results in January or July, depending on the examination session. Once the results have been released, transcript requests must be submitted directly to the IBO via the “IBO request for results service” link and will be subject to a processing fee.

This is a one-time process. However, students who subsequently retake any IB examination papers must re-authorise the release of their results.

Minimum Subject Requirements

• a pass in MTL Language A or Language B at Standard Level or Higher Level at IB Diploma, or MOE-approved MTL-in-lieu*;

• an MOE-approved MTL-exemption*.

Students who have not satisfied the requirement above may still apply for admissions with no prejudice to their application. Admissions will be on a provisional basis and students are required to attain the MTL within the period of their University study.
