The European Baccalaureate diploma

The European Baccalaureate diploma is awarded to successful candidates by the Secretary-General of the European Schools on behalf of the Board of Governors. It certifies the completion of secondary studies in a European School or in a School Accredited by the Board of Governors. It is officially recognised as an entry qualification for Higher Education in all the countries of the European Union, as well as in a number of others.

European Baccalaureate diploma holders enjoy the same rights and benefits as other holders of secondary school-leaving certificates in their countries, including the same right as nationals with equivalent qualifications to seek admission to any university or institution of tertiary education in the European Union.

The last two years of secondary education (s6 and s7) in the European Schools or in schools accredited by the Board of Governors make up the European Baccalaureate cycle. The cycle is characterised by a comprehensive multilingual curriculum that requires students to study a combination of language, humanities, and scientific subjects, some of which are taught through more than one language. The core curriculum includes several compulsory subjects, which can be taken at different levels of complexity. These include at least two language subjects (the dominant language and another one), mathematics (either 3 periods/week or 5 periods/week), one scientific subject (either Biology 2 periods/week or any other 4-period scientific subject in either Biology, Chemistry or Physics), history and geography (either 2 periods/week or 4 periods/week), which are taught through a different language from the dominant one (either in French, English or German), and philosophy (either 2 periods/week or 4 periods/week).

To summarise;

At least two language subjects (the dominant language and another one)
Mathematics, either 3 periods/week or 5 periods/week
One scientific subject, either Biology 2 periods/week or any other 4-period scientific subject in either Biology, Chemistry or Physics
History and Geography, either 2 periods/week or 4 periods/week, which are taught through a different language from the dominant one, either in French, English or German.
Philosophy, either 2 periods/week or 4 periods/week
Physical Education
Ethics or Religion

In addition to the core curriculum, pupils have a wide range of options and complementary subjects they can choose from to complete their subject package, which will amount to a minimum of 31 periods per week and to a maximum of 35.

The European Baccalaureate examinations

Secondary education is validated by the European Baccalaureate examinations held at the end of year 7. Candidates will sit five written examinations and three oral examinations. L1, L2 and Mathematics are compulsory written examinations. L1, L2 or a subject taught through L2 (History or Geography) are compulsory oral examinations. Therefore, candidates must demonstrate written and oral proficiency in at least two languages. Each examination will cover the entire syllabus of the corresponding subject in s7 but will also assess the competences (knowledge, skills and attitudes) acquired in previous years, especially in s6.

Both written and oral examinations are subject to double correction and marking by both the candidates’ teachers and external examiners. The final mark will be the average of the two examiners’ marks. In the case of a mark-disagreement of over two points, a third external corrector will be brought in and will establish through a thorough analysis of the previous corrections a final mark between the highest and the lowest awarded by the two previous correctors.

The external examiners are appointed annually by the Board of Governors of the European Schools and must meet the requirements laid down in their home countries for appointment to examining boards of the same level.
