It is a requirement of the programme that students study at least one subject from group 4.
Six subjects are available:
Interdisciplinary subject
- Environmental systems and societies—which meets the group 3 and group 4 requirements (see additional subjects section).
Students explore the concepts, theories, models and techniques that underpin each subject area and through these develop their understanding of the scientific method.
A compulsory project encourages students to appreciate the environmental, social and ethical implications of science. This exercise is collaborative and interdisciplinary and provides an opportunity for students to explore scientific solutions to global questions.
