Our recent alumnus, László Kőszeghy (PhD 2025), is the curriculum manager of the philosophy, classical languages, and (as part of a team) theory of knowledge courses of the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Program.

Managing curriculum reviews at the IB is a future-oriented, research-based and collaborative process, relying on feedback from educators, students, alumni, and experts, and aimed at producing guides and support materials which gives students the agency to take ownership of their own learning, flourish and create a more peaceful world.
