International Baccalaureate (IB
by Chris Knight
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA
Pupils choose six subjects. One must be selected from each Group 1-5 and one further subject from Elective Choices available in Group 6.
This allows pupils to combine strategic choices to play to their strengths. Scientists may choose one Group 4 subject and either Chemistry or Computer Science. Linguists may opt for a Group 2 language and French B in Group 6, whilst social scientists can combine a range of humanities with either business or economics.
Over the two years of the course, three subjects are studied in depth at Higher Level (HL), while the remaining three subjects are studied at Standard Level (SL).
