If you have a love of science then Group 4 subjects will appeal to you. The main skills which you’ll acquire from your Group 4 subject(s) will be the ability to analyse data in all its forms, answer technical questions and justify your answers. This will usually involve selecting the correct information to use from the large amount you are presented with. This is what making decisions in real life is like and so is a vital skill to have in any career.
You will learn how scientists work, share ideas, use the scientific method and about the very nature of science itself. For all the experimental sciences, there is a considerable amount of practical work to undertake and some of this will count towards your final grade.
The Group 4 subjects emphasise experimental work and a practical approach to learning, which complement the different ways of learning in other parts of the DP.
