Why take triple science?

  • Cover more content than combined science,
  • Better prepared if you want to take Science A

Levels

  • Thinking about university, careers and are

interested in science-based degrees and jobs

  • Most top universities prefer applicants for Science

subjects to have taken the Triple Award option at GCSE

  • Taking the Sciences separately will keep your
  • ptions open
  • Employers highly rate triple science and the skills

gained from these subjects

What is the difference between triple science and combined science?

Triple Science

  • 3 GCSE’s at the end
  • f the course (Bio,

Chem, Phy)

  • All examined at the

end of yr11

  • More teaching hours

but more content to cover

  • Easier transition to

A-level Sciences

Combined Science

  • 2 GCSE’s at the end
  • f the course
  • All examined at the

end of yr11

  • Less teaching hours

but less content to cover
