Can students study separate Physics, Chemistry and Biology GCSEs?
Yes. The courses have been expanded following the pilot to allow separate science qualifications. We appreciate that this option is desirable for a number of schools and colleges.
Students will complete the modules for GCSE Science and GCSE Additional Science in each subject.
They will then study a Further Science module for each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These Further Science modules have been developed on the same principle as the other courses, that is they should have their own distinct purpose and flavour, and not be simply 'more of the same'.
Each subject uses contemporary contexts to explore new concepts, and to encourage students to draw together some of the ideas they have already developed.
