Can One Overlook the Group 4 (Science) Requirement in the IB Program?
=====================================================================================
In the pursuit of the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, students must ensure they meet the programme's requirements, particularly when it comes to science subjects. RevisionDojo, an invaluable resource for IB students, offers comprehensive materials to help excel in these courses.
A fundamental aspect of the IB Diploma Program is the inclusion of experimental sciences. Specifically, every student must take at least one subject from Group 4, which encompasses traditional sciences like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as more interdisciplinary subjects such as Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS), Computer Science, Design Technology, and Sports, Exercise and Health Science (SEHS). In some cases, students may even opt for Sports, Exercise and Health Science as their Group 4 subject [1][4][5].
While students have the freedom to choose from the full range of Group 4 options, the variety does not permit skipping the group entirely. This flexibility ensures that all IB Diploma candidates engage with a science subject during their studies [1][4].
When it comes to the sixth subject, students have the option to choose a Group 6 subject (The Arts) or another subject from Groups 2 to 5, which includes Group 4 sciences. This choice allows for personalisation, yet the initial requirement remains: one Group 4 subject must be taken among the six subjects [5].
In summary, the IB Diploma Program mandates that at least one Group 4 subject be taken to earn the diploma. Students may choose from a variety of sciences within Group 4, some of which are less traditional. For their sixth subject, students can either select an Arts subject from Group 6 or another subject from Groups 2 to 5, including Group 4 sciences [1][4][5].
