  1. Six examination subjects, of which three must be at “Higher Level” (HL) and the rest in “Standard Level” (SL), that are independent of one another are required and must include the following subjects:
    • Two languages at level A or B, of which at least one is a foreign language as “Language A” or “Language B HL”.
    • A natural science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
    • Mathematics (Mathematical Methods or Mathematics HL or Further Mathematics in conjunction with Mathematics HL).
    • A social science subject (History, Geography, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, Social Anthropology and Business and Management.
    • The sixth compulsory subject may, in addition to the subjects mentioned above, be taken from one of the following subjects:
