Double Award Science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, Double Award Science is the combined study of GCSE biology, chemistry and physics that results in two GCSEs. The double award is not as in-depth as studying the individual sciences, but allows room to study extra subjects of a pupil's choice. Those passing their GCSEs in double award science can progress to A Levels in science subjects.
In September 2006, a new GCSE science system was introduced, whereby students can pursue either one GCSE in science or GCSEs in science and additional science. The new courses place more emphasis upon "the thinking behind the doing".
