Combined Science

RationaleTo meet the needs of students with a strong interest in science For students taking two science

subjects, one of them is chosen from the three specialised subjects of Physics, Chemistry or Biology

The students will study part of the other two subjects by a combined approach to build a broad and comprehensive knowledge in science
