Overview

In this online IGCSE Science Double Award course, you’ll delve into the main scientific teachings of biology, chemistry, and physics.

Ever wondered about the intricate nature of the world? Open your eyes to the wonderful scientific patterns and frameworks that exist all around us with our IGCSE (Double Award).

Biology focuses on the fascinating nature, structure, and variety of living organisms. You’ll become familiar with their functions and the role reproduction and inheritance plays. Uncover the fine balance of ecosystems, the effects of global warming and human impact on the environment including food production.

Investigate the stimulating world of chemistry where we’ll expose the properties and behaviour of matter. You’ll learn all about the periodic table, atomic structure, chemical formulae and interpret exciting scientific experiments.

Explore the world of physics and learn the ins and outs of forces, motion, electricity, and waves. You’ll find out about energy resources and how energy transfers between different forms. We’ll look at the states of matter and study magnetism. We’ll touch upon radioactivity and particles before jumping into the skies with astrophysics where you’ll learn all about the bodies of the universe.

This is a great choice for individuals looking to learn online and build upon their basic knowledge of the sciences.

ScienceT asked:

Hi, What is the difference between this course and the other IGCSE combined science course that you offer ? Apart from awarding body ?thanks

Answer:

Hi, Double Award Science and Combined Science are the same. We only have a listing of Double Award. At the end of the course you will sit 3 exam papers and you would receive 2 GCSEs. The Double Award covers the basic fundamentals of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. If you wanted a more in depth study of any of those subjects then the individual GCSE in Biology, Chemistry or Physics may be preferable. Each of these are worth 1 GCSE each.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
