Cambridge IGCSE Sciences gives learners the opportunity to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics, each covered in separate syllabus sections. Learners gain an understanding of the basic principles of each subject through a mix of theoretical and practical studies, while also developing an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study.

They learn how science is studied and practised, and become aware that the results of scientific research can have both good and bad effects on individuals, communities and the environment.

Focusing on the individual sciences, the syllabus aims to,

  • Understand the technological world in which they live, and
  • Take an informed interest in science and scientific developments

Students learn about the basic principles of each subject through a mix of theoretical and practical studies, while also developing an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study.

This syllabus has been developed to,

  • Establish the relevance of sciences in our daily life
  • Encourage the consideration of science within an international context and
  • Be relevant to the differing backgrounds and experiences of students throughout the world.
