MP5 CAREER COUNSELLING
In MP5 the emphasis is put upon advising the students on their choice for the IB Diploma Programme.
The IB Diploma Programme prescribes six subjects, three of which need to be taken at the higher level (a detailed description of the Programme can be found on the website of the IBO: www.ibo.org
The students will have to decide which subjects they want or need to choose in the Diploma Programme. The choice of six subjects out of twelve or more offered in MP5 can have far-reaching effects. A great deal of the counselling effort goes into making this selection process an informed one. Universities often prescribe specific subject combinations for entrance into specific areas of study. This is an extremely important process that we approach with the utmost care.
Students are informed about their options in plenary sessions. In addition to this, they receive extensive counselling on an individual basis. Parents are involved in this process as well. The school organises parent evenings, during which the subject choice and career counselling programme is explained in detail.
In MP5 (as well as in DP1) students can register for a careers aptitude test organised through the ISCO organisation. This is a widely recognised and acknowledged test that helps students to research their career options. It also has elaborate follow-up programmes freely available to those who sit the test.
