Languages in the IBDP are categorised into two subject groups, allowing students to study two languages at different levels of mastery. An IBDP student must study one Language from the subject group (Studies in Language and Literature). The student can choose his/her second language from the same subject group (Studies in Language and Literature) or from the second language group (Language Acquisition). IBDP Students who study two language courses from the language subject group (Studies in Language and Literature) receive the prestigious bilingual IB diploma.
