IGCSE Co-ordinated Science- 3F
Cambridge IGCSE Level Co-ordinated Science forms the first half of a two-year course beginning in 3rd Form. Successful completion of the course leads to a double award, earning two grades. IGCSE Co-ordinated Sciences gives students the opportunity to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics by learning basic principles of each subject through a mix of theoretical and practical studies, whilst also developing an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study.
