Optional (I)GCSE courses

Optional subjects

Depending on whether you are studying the Science Double Award (2 IGCSEs) or seperate Sciences (3 IGCSEs) in your core subjects, you can choose up to four optional subjects from the list below to make a total of six options.

Computer Science can be selected as a 7th optional subject if students select three separate sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics).

Some students select more than six options, by choosing an additional option taught outside of curriculum time.

The following courses (which do not offer a qualification) can also be included in your six options:

• English Language Support (for students whose first language is not English)
• Learning support
