The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a group of three educational programmes, as established by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
These three programmes are the following:
- IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for pupils aged 3 to 12
- IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) for pupils aged 11 to 16
- IB Diploma Programme (DP) for pupils aged 16 to 19
The programmes are modelled after educational systems from around the world, without being based on any particular one, incorporating both the breadth offered by some as well as the early specialisation offered by others. The Diploma Programme started in 1968 at the United World College of the Atlantic, the Middle Years programme was introduced in 1994, and the Primary Years Programme in 1997. Their rigour and high standards have ensured their wide recognition throughout the world. As of 2006, the programmes are currently being taught to over 486,000 students.
The International Baccalaureate Programme is also a common misnomer used to refer to one of these programmes (most frequently the IB Diploma Programme). High schools often advertise that they offer the “International Baccalaureate Programme,” in which case it is obvious that they are referring to the DP as it is the only one of the three programmes intended for students of senior high school age.

An Undergraduate Degree
Sometimes called a first degree or simply a degree, is the most common and primary academic degree available and is normally studied at a higher education institution, such as a university.
By far the most common type of undergraduate degree is the bachelor's degree, which typically takes three or four years to complete. First professional degrees sometimes contain the word 'Doctor' but are, at least in the U.S., not considered doctorates[1] and are, in Canada, considered to be undergraduate degrees. Oxbridge Master of Arts and Scottish Master of Arts degrees are considered to be undergraduate degrees. In the United Kingdom, a Master's degree is sometimes awarded as an undergraduate degree for an undergraduate student whose final year consists of higher-level courses and a major research project;
A student following an undergraduate degree programme is known as an undergraduate because they have not yet graduated (received a degree). Once they have graduated, undergraduate degrees allow their holders to get a better job than they would otherwise be able to get or continue into postgraduate education.

A Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) is a higher education qualification in the United Kingdom. It is awarded after one year full-time study at a university or other higher education institution. They certify that a student has achieved a minimum standard in 1st Year courses.
It is the academic equivalent of the more vocational Higher National Certificate, awarded following further education and training courses.
In Scotland a CertHE is worth 120 credit points at Level 7 on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework. (As a guide an Honours Degree is worth 480 credit points.)

A Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) is a higher education qualification in the United Kingdom. It is awarded after two years full-time study at a university or other higher education institution. They certify that a student has achieved a minimum standard in 1st and 2nd Year courses.

In Scotland a DipHE is worth 240 credit points (at least 120 at Level 7 and at least 80 at Level 8) on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework. (As a guide an Honours degree is worth 360 credit points.)

A Bachelor's Degree
is usually an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or major that generally lasts for three, four, and in some cases and countries, five years.
