IB University Admissions Symposium 2027
At the International Baccalaureate (IB), we are committed to guiding our students as they embark on their higher education journeys. To support this mission, we are hosting a virtual gathering of IB counsellors around the globe from 23–25 February 2027.
Following the success of the IB Global University Admissions Conferences in 2023 and 2025, the IB is thrilled to offer the Global University Admissions Symposium in 2027. The symposium will bring together university and career counsellors (UCCs) from across the globe for three days of insightful sessions, dynamic keynotes and engaging panel sessions. The focus will be on the latest trends in university admissions, the unique attributes of IB learners and essential updates on the IB curriculum.
With hundreds of UCCs expected to attend, this symposium will provide a valuable platform for professional development, networking and staying informed about global university admissions.
Who should attend the symposium?
The 2027 symposium will be focused on counsellors who work with IB students and who want to gain practical insight into how they can support their students' transition to higher education.
