Science Triple Award IGCSE
(Edexcel)
Biology 4BI1    Chemistry 4CH1    Physics 4PH1
This course has extra syllabus content in addition to that in the Double Award
course. Triple Science is assessed separately and there are 3 IGCSE
qualifications, one for each of the science disciplines. For this reason, it is
sometimes referred to as the separate science course. There are 2 papers for
each discipline; paper 1 is a two-hour examination with the content of the
double science course, paper 2 is an additional one hour examination with
triple science topics. The Triple Award course is taught by more than one
science teacher to maximize on the teachers’ specialist knowledge.

Students selecting this pathway should have a good grasp of the science
content covered in Years 7-9. Students will cover the extra content in this
course and explore scientific concepts at a deeper level but in the same
timeframe as the Double Award course. Therefore, it is important that
students have a very good understanding of the fundamental principles that
underpin science. Students opting for this pathway must have the capacity
and interest to work at a fast pace to complete the additional content required.
This option is recommended for students who are considering Higher IB
sciences and future university pathways requiring a strong science
background.
All students can access the IB full diploma at Higher or Standard Level or the
ID Applied Learning Diploma with this course.
